Single needle describes a practice in tattooing of using one needle. Usually more needles are used to speed up the process of creating a tattoo (many individual needles combined into one tattoo needle). Single needle tattoo is a Jailhouse tattoo trademark. This is mainly due to the inability of prisoners to obtain needles.
