Until you have the skill to use a liner for coloring I would suggest you keep to the shader for coloring, you can dig holes in your client with a liner and that would not be a good idea. When using a shader for coloring use small circles to fill in the areas you want to color, ensure you have good skin tension and don't rush.

Can you use a round shader to do outline on your tattoo?
If you were to be doing a portrait which would have fairly blurry lines without really sharp depth, then perhaps. But in most instances, this would not be the ideal needle choice for the job. You would want to use a needle suited specifically for outlining where the needles are concentrated in such a way that they come together to produce a nice clean line as opposed to the circular configuration of a Round Shader which is made so to give you the nice rounded appearance when grouped up appropriately for something that requires blending and nice solid work in small areas. So in a way, yes you can. The smaller the Round grouping the better though, as having anything above say a 10RS would be a bit too big to manage easily.

Half sleeve tattoo ideas?
Choose something with meaning. When I do a tattoo I like my clients to have a tattoo that evokes certain memories or feelings. Also, insist on a good tattoo needle for the detail. I recommend these. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bugpin-bug-pins-long-taper-11-curved-mags-round-magnums-tattoo-needles-11cm-11rm-/120811530400?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c20eda8a0

What does a tattoo on your neck mean?
it means that the bearer is an exhibitionist with questionable intellect who has little regard for future employment. In you're opinion! You obviously have a small mind...clearly! A tattoo on your neck is different :). I have one on the side of my neck just coming round to the front but can be covered by my hair. I think yourself comes before "future employment. As for exhibitionist...i suffer from agorphobia...and have a tattoo on my neck...hmmmmm. You seem to strike me as the one with ignorance and questionable intellect. I happen to have two tattoos on my neck and have an excellent job. I work in a corporate environment and wear a suit to work. I had them both before I got the job also and they never presented a problem with employers in the past either. ~ I have been employed at a public library for 7 years, have been involved in worship teams for various churches for 10 years, happily married in a stable relationship, a non-exhibitionist, classically trained singer and pianist, so I would have to disagree with the first answer. I do not have a "small mind" and as for my future employment, I talked with my boss about my tattoo before I got it and received her permission and I plan on being at this facility for a long time. Now, in answer to your actual question, a neck tattoo can mean different things. Sometimes, it's just that; a neck tattoo that bears personal significance to the wearer. Some gangs use them as a symbol of their involvement, but the tattoo itself is very specific in design when that is the case. I think you definitely need a certain character or attitude when getting one, and need to understand that it will almost always be visible, and you should expect people to ask about it. If you don't like that, find a different place to put a tattoo.

For colouring a tattoo are round shader needles betterthan flat?
It is a matter of how large a area you are shading flats and large magnums are best for coloring large areas. A Round shader works well for smaller areas. The other problem with flats is that if done improper they can work like a knife and slice the skin.

What size tattoo needle should i be using?
If your doing a full color tattoo, meaning just one shade i usually use a round shader, if you want to do transaction from light to dark i use a flat mag. Sizes all depends on what your comfortable with, for a large piece or tribal i use a 25rmag and a 5rs for tighter space. for the tip i use the same liner to fill in. but just try and see what works best for you. This is my advice I have 6 years of experience currently working as a tattoo artist. Some artist will agree or disagree with my advice.
Most common needle used for tattoo outlines?
A three round liner or five round liner (3RL or 5RL) is the most common but it does depend on the look you are after and the overall effect it has on the tattoo, the colours involved, the shading in the colours if any etc. One liners are also available and used for super fine lines like in portrait eyelashes etc. For tribals and the like it won't matter too much but better with a 5RL so that you can use it to fill the corners before you begin with the shader.
