How many times can a needle used?
A needle can be used many times. The real questions is should it be used many times, and the answer is NO! Some shops will use the same needle on the same client however, a needle is only sharp for one piercing after that the needle begins to dull. When someone is pierced with a dull needle, the piercing hurts about 5 times more than it really has to. This is why Avant-Garde only uses needles that have protected points during shipping and never uses a needle twice.
