What needle and tips to use for shading a tattoo?
That all depends on the size of the tattoo that you are doing, and what you are trying to accomplish whether it be soft shading, coloring, etc. If you are using disposable tube and needle combos, which you should, then the appropriate sized tip will be included with the needle. However, since you must ask I will take it that you are new to the game, so practice on your own legs before you ever tattoo another person and be safe. Best of luck.

How far should your needle potrude out of the tip of your tattoo machine?
its 1/16th of an inch if your doing color shading, and 1/32nds of an inch for outlining and 3/32nds i believe for black shading. see with the color ink you have to have your needle sticking out farther than you would for outlining or black shading. On an outline you bareley want your needle to stick out this way it wont be all over the place when you hit the pedal, it'll be pretty set in your tip so there wont be any unnessary moving around.

What is the difference in liner and shader needles?
You want to know just the difference in the 'needles' for outlining and shading? because there are a lot more functions on a tattoo machine that need to be swapped around and altered for setting up for lining and shading, such as, adjusting the armature bar, changing the tubes, and the voltage, etc.....but the lining and shading needles differ, for the most part, on the tips of the needle. If you look closely at a needle that would be used for lining, you will notice it has a singular sharp tip, used for creating one smooth line into the skin. Now, if you select a needle used for shading or colouring, you will notice the tip of the needle is divided into several sharp points, similar to the end of a brush. There are other things to take into consideration with the needles, such as the thickness of the needle, most needle manufacturing companies will mark the thickness of the needle in red print of the packaging that each needle is contained in, for example 'R3' (rounded tip 3) it is importent to learn the different sizes and how to apply them, this will depend on how large the area you are lining or shading is
