Complete guide: Ink cups with stand 8 mm
The 8 mm base caps are small, single-use containers into which you pour pigment, ink, or adhesive just before working. The small diameter makes them suitable for small, precisely controlled amounts, which is why they are preferred for fine lines, details, microblading, and micropigmentation. Each cap has its own base, so it stands alone on the work table without additional support. The package contains 100 pieces.
How to use
- Prepare the work table and cover it with a disposable protective film.
- Place the caps on the surface; due to the flat base they stand alone. For extra stability, secure them with adhesive tape (like Magic Tape) or use them in a holder with small holes.
- Pour into each cap only the amount of pigment or ink you need for that area.
- Use a separate cap for each color to avoid mixing and contaminating the shades.
- Pick up the color on the needle directly from the cap and refill as you go, instead of pouring a lot at once.
- At the end of each client, discard all used caps together with the protective film - they are single-use consumables.
Tips from us
- Pour a little and refill as you work: the small amount prevents premature drying of the pigment during the procedure.
- Secure the caps with adhesive tape before you start, so they do not accidentally move when you pick up the color.
- Due to the small diameter, you can place multiple colors simultaneously on the table, organized, without taking up much space.
- For shading or large fills, where you need more ink, choose larger diameter caps (e.g., 14-15 mm), which hold a larger volume and require less frequent refilling.
- Open and prepare only as many caps as you need for the current session, to keep the rest of the package clean and sealed.
Warning: They are single-use consumables. Discard each cap after each client - do not wash or reuse them, as reuse compromises hygiene and increases the risk of cross-contamination. Always work on a surface covered with a protective barrier and use separate caps for each color.
