I am married to this brand now! I was a die hard kwandron user before I tried these. Needle consistency never changes. Lines are now more crisp, shading is phenomenal, and I don't understand why I didn't try them sooner. Also, the packaging is pretty cool. This brand has a forever customer in me. Now, come out with some PMU needles, so I can just order here and never worry about bend needles and inconsistencies ever again!
