Bishop Tattoo Da Vinci V2 Cartridges Regular 12 Gage 07 Pins

In this review the Bishop Tattoo Da Vinci V2 cartridges are evaluated as a reliable choice for artists who need consistent performance across long sessions. The review finds the 12 gage, 07 pin straight magnum long configuration particularly well suited for shading and mid-weight fills, with the single biggest reason to buy being the combination of consistent ink flow and durable needle construction that reduces interruptions and touch-ups.

Key Features

• Superior precision: Super Bugpin and Bugpin needle options deliver very sharp lines and smooth shading, which helps reduce the need for repeat passes.
• Consistent ink flow: Long taper needles maintain a steady ink feed during longer passes, making blending and soft shading more predictable.
• Exceptional durability: High-quality materials keep the needles sharp and reliable through extended tattoo sessions, lowering downtime for replacements.
• Maximum versatility: The straight magnum long 07 pin layout handles both bold fills and softer gradients, so artists can cover more techniques with one cartridge type.
• Comfort and care: Engineered to reduce skin irritation, these cartridges support a smoother application and can contribute to faster client healing.

Who It's For

The Bishop Da Vinci V2 12 gage straight magnum long cartridges are best for professional tattoo artists and experienced apprentices who perform medium to long sessions and need a cartridge that balances durability with a smooth ink flow. Artists who work on portraits, soft shading, and larger color fills will appreciate the 07 pin spread and long taper performance.

Those who should look elsewhere include artists who only need extremely fine single-needle work or who never do magnum fills; a dedicated round liner or single-needle cartridge would be a better match for ultra-fine detail. Also, beginners working only on practice skins may prefer less expensive disposable options until technique is refined.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High-quality construction offers exceptional durability and maintains sharpness session to session.
• Versatile straight magnum 07 pins handle both fills and softer gradients well.
• Designed to minimize skin irritation, helping with client comfort and healing.

Cons

• Not the best choice for ultra-fine single-needle line work where a true bugpin single or round liner would be preferred.
