Complete guide: Ink cups 8mm

Small single-use containers, made of transparent plastic, into which you pour the ink, pigment or adhesive exactly in the amount you need during the work. The 8 mm diameter is designed for precision work — fineline, dotwork, thin outlines, microrealism — but also for micropigmentation, microblading or eyelash extensions, where very small quantities are used. The package contains 100 pieces, enough for many sessions, and the transparent walls let you always see the level and consistency of the ink.

How to use

  1. Prepare the work station: sanitized hands, disposable gloves and surfaces protected with protective barriers.
  2. Take out of the bag only the number of ink caps you need for the session — for black and white fineline usually 1-2 are enough, for color work 3-8, depending on the number of colors.
  3. Place the ink caps in the special ink cap holder (silicone, plastic or metal) or on a stable surface — the 8 mm base is small, so the holder prevents tipping.
  4. Shake the ink bottle well and pour into each ink cap only what you need — an 8 mm ink cap holds approximately 0.3-0.5 ml.
  5. Load the needle directly from the ink cap during work; the transparent wall helps you monitor the level and refill at the right time.
  6. When refilling, pour from the bottle without touching the bottle mouth to the edge of the ink cap, so as not to contaminate the rest of the ink.
  7. At the end of the session, discard all used ink caps together with the rest of the contaminated consumables — they are not kept or reused.

Tips from us

  • Use an ink cap holder, ideally made of silicone: it stabilizes the small containers and reduces the risk of tipping them over during work.
  • Do not pour excess ink — the purpose of the 8 mm size is precisely to limit the amount to the strict minimum and reduce waste, especially with expensive PMU pigments.
  • For shading on large areas, combine them with 12 mm or 15 mm ink caps; the 8 mm ones are designed for lines and details, not for large volumes of ink.
  • The compact size allows you to organize multiple colors on the station — arrange them in the order you use them to work smoothly.
  • They are versatile: you can also use them for adhesive, remover or primer, not just for ink and pigment.
  • Take the ink caps out of the bag only with clean gloves and keep the bag closed between sessions to keep the rest of the stock clean.
Warning: Ink caps are strictly single-use: after the session they come into contact with ink and potentially biological fluids, so they are disposed of as contaminated waste, according to the studio's sanitary rules. Do not wash or reuse them, no matter how clean they appear — there is no safe sanitization for this type of consumable. Handle them only with gloves and place them on surfaces protected with barriers.

Frequently asked questions

How many ink caps do I receive and what kind of work are they suitable for?

The package contains 100 pieces with a diameter of 8 mm. They are the small size of ink caps, ideal for precision work: fineline, single needle, dotwork, microrealism, thin outlines and fine details. They also work very well for micropigmentation (PMU) and microblading, where pigment is used in very small quantities, as well as a container for adhesive in eyelash extensions.

Do they fit in any ink cap holder?

They fit in holders with 8 mm slots and in universal multi-size holders, whether made of silicone, plastic or metal. The only exception are holders designed exclusively for large ink caps, which will not secure them properly. If you work without a holder, place them on a stable and protected surface, because the small base makes them slightly easier to tip over.

Can I reuse them if I wash them well between clients?

No. They are single-use consumables: after the session, the ink cap has been in contact with contaminated ink and must be disposed of together with the studio's contaminated waste. Reusing them would mean a risk of cross-contamination between clients, and the thin plastic does not withstand real sterilization methods. For each client, use new ink caps, taken out of the bag with clean gloves.

How much ink fits in an 8 mm ink cap and is it enough for a job?

Approximately 0.3-0.5 ml. The amount is sufficient for outlines and fine details over a significant area without refilling. For a black and white fineline session, 1-2 ink caps are usually enough, and for a fine color work, 3-8 ink caps depending on the number of colors. For extensive shading, however, the volume is insufficient and you would need frequent refills.

Why would I choose 8 mm instead of 12 mm ink caps?

Choose 8 mm when you work predominantly with fineline, dotwork or other fine styles, with thin Round Liner needles (1RL-7RL). The small size limits the ink to the strict minimum, reduces waste, prevents overloading the fine needles and takes up little space — you can organize multiple colors on the station. If you frequently do shading or fill large areas, keep 12 mm or 15 mm ink caps handy and use the 8 mm ones only for lines and details.

Can I put something else in them besides tattoo ink?

Yes. Besides tattoo ink and micropigmentation pigments, the ink caps can be used as a container for adhesive in eyelash extensions, for remover or for primer. The transparent plastic is chemically inert and does not react with professional ink formulas, whether they are carbon-based, water-based or with organic pigments.

The ideal choice for artists specializing in fine styles such as single needle, geometric, ornamental and microrealism, where precise control of ink quantity is essential for work quality. Manufactured through precision injection molding from transparent medical plastic, each cap meets strict dimensional tolerances ensuring consistency between batches. The plastic used is tested for chemical inertness and doesn't react with any professional tattoo ink formula whether carbon-based, water-based or with organic pigments.

Frequently Asked Questions What techniques are 8mm caps ideal for? Ideal for fineline, single needle, dotwork, microrealism, fine details, thin outlines and any work requiring small ink quantities and maximum precision. Are they too small for shading? Yes, for extensive shading they are insufficient and require frequent refills. For shading, 12mm or 15mm caps offering larger volume are recommended. How much ink fits in an 8mm cap? Approximately 0.3-0.5ml of ink. The quantity is sufficient for outlines and fine details on a significant area without refilling, but insufficient for large shading areas. Do they fit any cap holder?8mm caps fit holders with 8mm holes or multi-size universal holders. Holders designed only for large caps won't properly secure them. Why choose 8mm instead of 12mm? Choose 8mm when working exclusively fineline or dotwork. The small size reduces waste, takes less space and prevents overloading fine needles with ink. Does ink dry faster in small caps? Paradoxically, the surface/volume ratio is similar across all sizes. The small ink quantity may seem to deplete quickly, but for fine work the quantity is adequate. Can I use 8mm caps for micropigmentation? Yes, 8mm caps are excellent for PMU as micropigmentation pigments are used in very small quantities. The size prevents waste of expensive pigment. Are they less stable than larger ones? Yes, the smaller base makes them slightly more susceptible to tipping. Use in holders or on stable surfaces is recommended. Silicone holders are ideal for stabilization. How many 8mm caps are used in a fineline session? For a black and grey fineline session, usually 1-2 caps suffice. For a fine color session, 3-8 caps depending on the number of colors used. Are individually sterilized 8mm variants available? Yes, individually packaged and sterilized 8mm caps are available for maximum hygiene. These are recommended for artists wanting sterility guaranteed for each cap.
