Here's the picture of the backstem. It is a solid backstem with the slit. Very hard to flex since our plastic is a special imported dense Japanese polymer.

Nice, exactly what the marker needed. How much are roughly going for, money wise, if you can share the info of course.

In the US market, they'll run around 2 US dollars a pop. In europe and UK because of the stricter custom fees, etc. will run a little higher but don't know the exact price yet. Should be available in UK/europe within 3 or so months. We always delay launch there in case we need to make any tweaks, changes, etc.

Almost as easy as a how needle with the advantage of disposing everything all together.
Hmmm too many ideas... And free

Why not a curved tipped? I would think, especially for larger mags, that curved would be preferable for the majority by now. The physics of how skin bends to the pressure and how curved mags create more even needle depth is well documented, I'm really surprised that so many artists still use straight tips...

I curve and angle my mag needles(I solder my own shaders) and all my tubes are modded to have the same curve and angle...

I absolutely agree, a curve on the nozzle that matches the curve on the needle group. TATSOUL please take heed of this.

It's funny you guys bring this up. We have considered this option months ago but have some politics to play in order to go through with this. Long story short, a "big name" in the industry brought this up to us but wanted his name on the brand and royalties, etc. So we have to see how this plays out. =( . Thanks for the suggestions though.
