Skin Monarch Whip Shader cartridges are a versatile configuration for artists who combine lining and shading. Used with a whipping or flicking hand motion, they help create soft, textured shading and gradual transitions, while still allowing defined lines, so you can do more without changing cartridges.
The collection features the Luxury Whip Shader R-Cap cartridges, listed in both our Luxury cartridges and Luxury Tattoo cartridges ranges. The R-Cap design is part of the Skin Monarch Luxury family, alongside Round Liner and Round Shader R-Cap options.
For pure linework, see Round Liner cartridges; for soft colour packing, see Round Shader; and for wider shading, see Magnum and Curved Magnum cartridges. Browse every configuration in cartridges, or try the Luxury range first with our cartridge sample sets.
Use Whip Shaders with a compatible PMU machine or tattoo machine, and practise the whip motion on practice skin before working on clients.
