Aluminum grip 20.25 mm

Complete guide: Aluminum grip 20.25 mm

A black anodized aluminum grip with a 20-25 mm tapered profile, designed for tattoo artists who want a single versatile handle. Thanks to the shape that narrows toward the tip, it offers both a thinner grip for fine lines and a thicker one for shading and filling, without changing equipment. It is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and autoclavable, suitable for both the fixed studio and mobile convention setups.

How to use

1. Check compatibility: ensure the internal grip attachment fits on your traditional machine's backstem or your pen-style machine's body.
2. Mount the included handle tube and secure it with the screws from the package, making sure the assembly is tight and stable.
3. Position the needle or cartridge and adjust the depth of penetration according to your machine.
4. Choose your grip: hold your hand closer to the tip for the ~20 mm diameter (fine control, linework) or lower, toward the base, for ~25 mm (comfort, shading and fill).
5. For hygiene, apply a barrier film (grip cover) over the handle before starting work on the client.
6. After the session, disassemble the grip, remove the film and residues, wash it in an ultrasonic bath, then sterilize it in an autoclave.
7. Store the grip clean and dry, together with the screws, so you don't lose them.

Tips from us

• Use the tapered profile as a discovery tool: observe where you naturally place your hand and find out which diameter suits you best.
• Choose the grip position based on the stage — thin grip at the tip for lines, thick grip at the base for shading and filling.
• The black anodized finish masks cosmetic wear and ink marks well; still, clean it after each use.
• Keep barrier film handy if you work with many clients per day — it speeds up sanitization between sessions.
• Store the included screws in a fixed place; they are small and easy to lose.
