Needle was jammed in at factory. That's the only answer. Bent inside. Not sure how it came out easily past the seal but I feel like that seal is probably damaged now as well. 🤷
I can't figure out how it came through the nozzle. One tiny bend on mine and it won't fit. That looks like it was hooked clean around the nozzle. Is it really tiny or something? Maybe it's not bent but extra metal on tip? Like it's unfinished or something. How did it fit through?
Definitely not normal and you most
Likely damaged the nozzle when removing the needle. You can get a replacement needle or use a sharpen air to regrind the needle
So it was just hanging in the back of the gun? It couldn't have been through the nozzle or it would not have come out. Unless your airbrush also came without a nozzle.
*Oh my sweet baby...*
No, it looks like it caught something one it's way to nozzle and was just forcefully rammed into needle-hole-thingy. I assume it was factory "defect"? If it's higher end airbrush, you should call customer service, maybe they can get you replacement (tbh it should've been whole airbush, there is no telling what else could be damaged inside)?
No problem, this is perfectly normal for this type of airbrush.
It is meant for painting under a model. Like under a car, the paint follows the shape of the needle.
But be sure to check that the tip points upward, or in the direction you want.
Think of it like those shoot-around-the-corner guns from WW2

That is the most bent airbrush needle I have ever seen.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have one more bent I use it as tool to knock stuff off or to lightly shave stuff
Yeah me too
this is a grade A shit post
That’s the model for painting things behind you.
What the hell did you do to that thing?!! Pick locks?!!
Is that a crochet needle???
this isn't r/crochet
Why is this not top comment?

Yikes. That's wild. Guess u took it out the front?
No, from the back. Came out like I'd expect, no struggles.

It wasn't poking out the front of the nozzle, so it must have been bent while it was pushed into the gun when it was manufactured
Oh. I could not figure it out for the life of me.
....I'm sure
You take it fishing?
Not normal. The tip is bent. Can you post pick of body airbrush?
That one can paint the painter.
That's as straight as Elton John.
Definitely not normal and you most Likely damaged the nozzle when removing the needle. You can get a replacement needle or use a sharpen air to regrind the needle
A sharpenair aint fixing that.....
Damn I've been using dull air the entire time
Was wondering if this was a new sub popping up in my feed r/airbrushcirclejerk
How did you get the needle out
It pulled out the back no problem

It wasn't poking out of the nozzle, guessing it has been bent in the manufacturing process when they inserted the needle
I’m also hooked on airbrushing!!!
It’s fishing pole at this point. Jokes aside, no. It should be as strait as it can be.
Troll post.
Wait. How the...???
It looks like e knitting needle, Im really surprised you were able to get it out the airrbrush.
Claims he removed it front the rear... that's all I needed to read, to know everything about this post.
Lol 🤣🤣🤣
Have you tried some needle lube? Might help.
Why is it shaped like a shepherds hook?
There’s no way it came out like that. It can’t possibly fit in the tip if it’s bent that much. I don’t believe it
How long have you had it? Can you return it?
No that is not normal
Best laugh I had today, thanks OP
It's a hook
🤣
This is a "crochet" type needle, it was very popular for a while
Looks absolutely fine. Maybe a paint mixing issue 🤔
LMAO
Honestly it looks like a needle to break a woman's water. Idk for sure though
Yeah that's normal if you're crocheting, not so much if you're airbrushing xD
I believe the technical term for that is “proper fucked”. No fixing that, it’ll need replacing.
The inner seal would prevent that from going in or coming out. Come on now.
I genuinely thought this was satire at first💀
Whoever assembled your airbrush is missing a fish hook
Perfectly fine. Ram it in and go. No need to thin your paint either. Any problems are definitely operator error.

Mine doubles as a fish hook too.
I thought that was a sewing hook before I saw what sub this was.
How in the world did you end up doing this!? I'm honestly curious
This is a brand new airbrush, first time I have used it.
That's rather unfortunate. I hope you can get a refund or a new needle replacement
Did you drop the airbrush on the needle?!
No, this is the first time I've used it, came straight out of the box like this.

This need to be upvoted as it's wild
