PMU Needles: Universal or Custom Needles? Discover the Best Choice!

Every PMU artist develops their own technique and process, but one of the most important choices you make is which PMU needles to use. Do you opt for universal PMU needles that fit multiple machines, or do you go for custom PMU cartridges, such as the Clinita needles for the I-Fly machine, which are specifically designed for maximum precision and control?

In this blog you will discover the pros and cons of both options and why sterile PMU needles are essential for safe permanent make-up treatments.

What are universal PMU needles?

Universal PMU cartridges can be used on different brands and models of PMU machines. This makes them attractive, especially because of their lower price and wide availability.

Advantages of universal PMU needles:

  • Compatible with multiple machines, providing flexibility
  • Lower costs, ideal for PMU artists who use multiple machines
  • Wide range, giving you a choice of thicknesses and configurations

Well-known universal PMU needles include:

  • Clinita Universal PMU Needles
  • Kwadron PMU needles
  • MAST PMU cartridges
  • Tina Davies PMU Needles
  • Dragon Hawk PMU Cartridges

Clinita offers high-quality universal PMU needles that are compatible with most tattoo and PMU machines. They combine precision with stability and meet strict hygiene requirements.

Are universal PMU needles always the best choice?

Not necessarily. Their effectiveness depends a lot on how well they match your PMU machine. Poor compatibility can lead to:

  • More vibrations, which affects precision
  • Unstable pigment absorption, which makes the result less smooth
  • Incorrect stroke length, causing the machine to not function optimally
  • Higher risk of skin irritation


If you want consistent, precise and safe results, it may be worth opting for custom PMU needles.

Why Clinita I-Fly PMU Needles are the Better Choice

If you work with the Clinita I-Fly machine, the specially designed I-Fly PMU needles are the best choice. These needles are exclusively compatible with the Clinita I-Fly PMU machine, which ensures:

  • Less vibration and better stability
  • Optimal pigment absorption for sleek results
  • Perfectly matched stroke length for PMU treatments
  • 100% sterile needles according to European standards

Why is this important?

With techniques like powder brows, lip blush and PMU eyeliner, precision is everything. An unstable needle can make the difference between a perfectly placed line and a blurry, uneven result.

With Clinita I-Fly needles you work with the highest precision and control, exclusive to the I-Fly machine.

Are all PMU needles sterile? Not always!

Many PMU artists assume that their PMU needles are sterilely packaged, but did you know that PMU needles from China are often not sterilized as stated on the packaging? This can lead to contamination and health risks.

💡 Did you know?

  • A non-sterile needle can cause infections, allergic reactions and pigment shifts
  • Bacteria and viruses can be transmitted through reuse or poor sterilization


All Clinita PMU needles – both universal and I-Fly needles – are 100% sterile and meet all strict European requirements. This means that you always work with maximum hygiene and high quality.
