A grip made of black anodized aluminum alloy, with a diameter of 20 mm — a slim, lightweight grip that gives you fine control over the tattoo machine, with a feel close to that of a pen. It is designed for artists working in precision styles (fine-line, dotwork, geometric, single needle), but also for anyone who prefers a slim handle on a traditional setup. The package includes the fixing screws and the handle tube, so you can mount it directly on your equipment.
Will this grip fit my machine?▾
The grip has a diameter of 20 mm and comes with a handle tube and fixing screws, so it mounts in the classic tube system: the needle bar passes through the tube, and the assembly is secured with the supplied screws. If your machine works with cartridges, check before ordering which mounting system it uses — for cartridges on a traditional machine you need an adapter or a dedicated cartridge grip.
How do I properly sterilize it between clients?▾
The monoblock anodized aluminum construction is autoclavable at 134 °C, so the complete protocol is: during the session protect the grip with a disposable barrier, then disassemble it, mechanically clean ink residues, sterilize it in an autoclave, and store it clean until the next use. The black anodizing is resistant to corrosion and discoloration, so repeated sterilization cycles do not affect its appearance or function.
Why would I choose 20 mm and not a larger diameter?▾
The 20 mm diameter offers a slim grip with fine finger control — that is why it is preferred in precision styles such as fine-line, dotwork, geometric, or single needle. It is comfortable especially for small and medium hands. If you have large hands or mainly do shading in long sessions, a thicker grip may be more restful; many artists use both, each for its role.
What do I get in the package? Are needles included?▾
The package contains the 20 mm aluminum grip, the fixing screws, and the handle tube. Needles are not included — you purchase them separately, in the configuration suitable for your working style.
Does the black finish last over time or does it scratch and discolor?▾
Anodizing creates a hard protective layer, resistant to corrosion, scratches, and discoloration, which withstands even repeated autoclave sterilization. A practical advantage of the black color is that it very well masks any cosmetic signs of use, so the grip maintains its professional appearance for a long time.
Are there any differences from the blue version of the same grip?▾
No, functionally the two are identical: the same aluminum alloy, the same 20 mm diameter, the same autoclavable monoblock construction. Only the color of the anodized layer differs, so the choice is purely aesthetic — black remains the classic option, blending discreetly into any studio setup.
