They are small disposable containers, with a diameter of Ø15mm, into which you pour ink during a tattoo session. The pack contains 100 pieces, and being made of soft silicone, they are a gentler alternative to classic hard plastic caps. They suit both the beginner setting up their work station and the artist who wants stable consumption without waste of ink. The 15mm size provides room for a larger amount of ink.
How many caps does the pack contain and what size are they?▾
The pack contains 100 pieces, each with a diameter of Ø15mm. It is a medium to large size, providing room for a larger amount of ink.
What material are they made of?▾
From soft silicone. Being soft, it helps protect the needle when it touches the side wall of the cap and, by absorbing needle vibrations, prevents ink from splashing out of the cap - something that often happens with classic hard plastic caps.
Can I wash and reuse them to save money?▾
No. The ink caps are disposable consumables: discard after each session, together with the remaining ink. Reusing them compromises hygiene and may lead to cross-contamination between clients.
With what ink and what equipment do I use them?▾
They are used with regular tattoo ink, into which you dip the needle tip. They are not dependent on a specific tattoo machine - they are simply the container you work from. If you want extra stability, you can place them in a cap holder, but their own base molds to the table and provides a stable grip.
Why would I choose 15mm and not a smaller size?▾
15mm is a good choice when you need more ink at hand - large fill areas, shading on extended surfaces, or longer sessions, so you don't have to refill the cap often. For fine lines and details where you use little ink, a smaller size may be more practical.
What is the advantage of silicone over classic plastic caps?▾
Silicone is soft, so it softens the contact if the needle touches the wall and absorbs vibrations, which means that ink no longer splashes out of the cap during work. Additionally, their shape offers a wider and easier grip between fingers.
