Description
The tips are made of stainless steel, premium quality.
It is safe and easy to clean or sterilize.
Tip type Flat-rectangular shape.
Compatible with needles: M1, RM, F, RF and M2.
The 17FT stainless steel tip is one of the largest open flat tips available, manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel, designed for 17-needle flat groupings. This ultra-specialized size is exclusively intended for elite artists working monumental projects such as complete bodysuits, full back pieces, and maximum-scale Japanese work, where every fraction of a second saved translates to enhanced client comfort and artist efficiency. The 17 flat needles in linear formation produce the widest possible color bands with an open flat configuration, reducing the number of passes to the absolute minimum. The open design provides direct needle visibility, allowing real-time monitoring of coverage quality even on the most extended surfaces. Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel, it withstands unlimited autoclave sterilization cycles at 134 degrees Celsius. The CNC-machined interior with premium finish ensures free ink flow through the massive 17-needle configuration. Working with the 17FT tip is a significant technical challenge requiring a tattoo machine with absolute maximum torque, a 35mm grip, and an artist with extensive experience in working with very large flat needles. The side opening facilitates cleaning and interior inspection. The 17FT tip is a rare, ultra-specialized piece completing the arsenal of the most ambitious and experienced artists in the professional tattoo industry. It is the ultimate instrument for maximum coverage efficiency on the largest possible surfaces.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who should use the 17FT tip?
The 17FT tip is exclusively intended for elite artists with years of experience in working with very large flat needles. It is an ultra-specialized size for monumental projects. Only artists who have fully mastered 13FT and 15FT should consider this size.
What tattoo machine is needed for 17 flat needles?
17 flat needles require a machine with absolute maximum torque: very powerful coil machines with heavy springs or direct drive rotary with maximum power motors. This is an extreme configuration that very few machines can handle efficiently.
What types of projects require the 17FT tip?
Complete bodysuits, full back with extensive shading, maximum-scale Japanese pieces, and any monumental project with very large surfaces of solid color or shading. These projects take dozens of hours and coverage efficiency is critical.
What needles are used with the 17FT tip?
17-flat needles (17F or 17FL). This is a rare needle size that may require special ordering. Check availability before purchasing the tip.
Does the 17FT tip consume a lot of ink?
Yes, per-pass consumption with 17 needles is the highest in the flat range. Prepare very large cups and have ample ink stock. In a bodysuit session, total consumption can be significant.
How is the 17FT tip sterilized?
Ultrasonic cleaning followed by autoclaving at 134 degrees Celsius. The side opening facilitates cleaning of the very wide interior. Inspect carefully after cleaning.
What grip is needed for the 17FT tip?
A 35mm grip is absolutely necessary. The extreme force needed for 17 flat needles requires the maximum stability and comfort that only a large-size grip can provide.
Is the 17FT tip autoclavable?
Yes, fully autoclavable at 134 degrees Celsius. Surgical stainless steel withstands unlimited sterilization cycles without degradation.
How rarely is the 17FT tip used?
It is one of the rarest sizes in the industry. Even artists who own it use it only for specific bodysuit or monumental piece projects. It is a professional collector's piece.
Is the 17FT tip compatible with pen machines?
No, it is designed exclusively for traditional machines with tube and grip systems. The 17-needle flat size exceeds the capacity of most pen machines.
