Hey mate, that´s a Mammillaria species. A typical Grandma-Cactus. Mine has one too. :lol: Not sure about the species though. Could be M. craigii, but I have no clue of that genus. To me they all look the same. LOL. But beautiful cacti.

Is it a mammilaria spinossisima (guesses) maybe?

been a long time but this I think was my fave source of mammilaria ID'ing back in the day

sorry I can't be of much help further but hope you can get a rough Idea perhaps or narrow it down by process of elimination if you have the time ,
