Complete guide: Cheyenne Pen Unio Grip 25mm
The Cheyenne Pen Unio 25mm handle is an original grip, manufactured in Germany for pen machines in the Cheyenne ecosystem (Sol Nova, Sol Nova Unlimited, and other compatible models). With a diameter of 25mm — a "slim" format in the industry — it offers a thin grip, suitable for artists working on precision lines, portraits, and fine details. It is made from medical-grade aluminum, certified to ISO 13485 standard, autoclavable at 134°C, thus designed for long-term hygienic reuse, not for a single session.
How to use
- Check the Cheyenne grip system of your pen machine and ensure the handle is clean and sterilized before installation.
- Align the handle with the machine and secure it in the Cheyenne grip system — installation is tool-free.
- Mount a compatible Cheyenne cartridge; all Cheyenne cartridges can be used with this handle.
- Adjust the needle depth according to the work — the handle allows an adjustment range between 0 and 4.0 mm.
- Apply a protective barrier (disposable film/sleeve) over the machine and handle, following your studio's hygiene protocol.
- Test the grip and anti-slip texture with the gloves you use during work before starting the session.
- After the session, disassemble the handle, clean it, and sterilize it in an autoclave at 134°C before reuse.
- Store the handle sterile, wrapped, until the next use.
Tips from us
- Choose the diameter that fits your hand and style: 25mm (this model) is a "slim" format for fine control on lines and details; Cheyenne also offers 33mm or 38mm variants for a more substantial grip.
- Test the anti-slip texture with the gloves you actually use in the studio, not just with bare hands.
- Do not force the coupling/uncoupling on the machine — the Cheyenne grip system is designed to install quickly, without tools.
- Sterilize the handle in an autoclave before each use, even if it appears visually clean.
- Periodically inspect the handle surface (deep scratches, wear of the anti-slip texture) — if visibly damaged, replace the part.
- Store the handle with other original Cheyenne accessories for guaranteed compatibility with the rest of the equipment.
Warning: The handle comes into direct contact with the artist's hand and, through the cartridge/needle, indirectly with the client's skin — treat it like any reusable tattoo instrument: sterilize it in an autoclave between each client, use protective barriers (films/sleeves) on the machine during work, and check the surface integrity before each use. The material is certified for autoclaving at 134°C, but always follow your studio's hygiene protocols and the applicable sanitary regulations for tattooing.
