Frequently asked questions
Can I use these needles with my machine?
No. SofTap needles are a stand-alone system that doesn't work with other systems.
Is SofTap slower than the machine?
No. SofTap procedures usually take anywhere from 1-3 hours (depending on the procedure), which is the same as machine procedure times.
Does the hand method stay as well as the machine?
Yes. Both the hand method and machine are forms of tattooing; pigment placement in the skin is dependent on the artist more than on the tool used.
Is the hand method traumatic to the skin?
In experienced hands, no. As with anything, if used improperly, you can cause unnecessary damage to the skin. SofTap tools are designed to give even tension across each needle point, for gentle application on the skin.
Is SofTap microblading?
No. Microblading is a technique done with hand tools in which you make small cuts in the skin. SofTap is a brand that makes hand method tools for a stick-and-poke technique for permanent makeup.
