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 5FT stainless steel tip is a professional flat tip with an open opening (open tip), manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel, designed for 5-needle flat groupings. The open variant (FT - Flat Tip) differs from the closed version through its side opening that allows direct visualization of the needles during work, giving the artist superior visual feedback on needle position and movement relative to the skin. The 5FT open configuration is preferred by artists who want to see exactly how needles interact with the skin, a crucial advantage in shading and filling techniques where placement precision is essential. The flat opening guides the 5 needles in a straight line, allowing uniform ink deposition in a defined band. Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel, the tip offers corrosion resistance and withstands unlimited autoclave sterilization cycles at 134 degrees Celsius. The CNC-machined interior ensures free, constant ink flow. Ink flow in the open tip is freer than in the closed variant, which can be advantageous for techniques requiring more abundant ink deposition. Compatible with standard tube-system tattoo machines, the 5FT integrates into any professional setup. It is a compact size ideal for fills on small surfaces, wide decorative lines, and precision color packing. The choice between open and closed variants depends on the artist's individual preferences and specific technique used.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main advantage of the open tip (FT) over the closed one (F)?
The main advantage of the open tip is direct needle visibility during work. The artist can see exactly the position and movement of needles relative to the skin, providing superior visual control. Ink flow is also freer in the open variant.
Does the 5FT open tip produce more splatter than the closed one?
Yes, the open tip can produce slightly more ink splatter compared to the closed one, as needles are not fully protected. However, with proper technique, the difference is minimal. Experienced artists easily manage this aspect.
What needles are used with the 5FT tip?
The 5FT tip is used with 5-flat needles (5F or 5FL). Flat needles are arranged in a straight line and fit the flat tip opening. The open design allows easier needle mounting and visual verification.
Is the 5FT tip easier to clean than the closed one?
Yes, the side opening of the 5FT tip facilitates interior cleaning, allowing better access for cleaning solutions and direct visualization of areas needing cleaning. This practical advantage is appreciated by many studios.
Can I use the 5FT tip for shading?
Yes, the 5FT tip can be used for shading with flat needles. It produces shading with more defined edges than diamond tips. It is suitable for styles benefiting from structured transitions and controlled tonal bands.
How is the 5FT tip sterilized?
Ultrasonic cleaning followed by autoclave sterilization at 134 degrees Celsius. The side opening facilitates cleaning compared to closed tips. Visually inspect the interior after cleaning to verify the absence of residue.
Is the 5FT tip suitable for beginners?
Yes, the 5FT tip is a good choice for beginners learning fill and shading techniques with flat needles. Direct needle visibility provides useful feedback for technique development. The 5-needle size is easy to manage and control.
What is the difference between 5FT and 7FT?
The 5FT tip produces narrower color bands and offers more control on small areas. The 7FT covers a wider area per pass, being more efficient on moderate surfaces. Choose 5FT for precision and 7FT for efficiency.
Is the 5FT tip autoclavable?
Yes, the 5FT surgical stainless steel tip is fully autoclavable at temperatures up to 134 degrees Celsius. The material withstands unlimited sterilization cycles without degradation, guaranteeing maximum safety.
Why do some artists prefer the open tip and others the closed one?
It is a matter of personal preference and working style. Artists who rely on direct visual feedback prefer the open tip for needle visibility. Artists who prioritize ink flow control and a clean working environment prefer the closed tip. Both deliver professional results.
