Complete guide: Stainless steel grip 35mm with 39F tip
This is a full stainless steel grip with a 35mm body and a detachable 39F flat tip — the widest standard flat tip in the industry. It is used with flat needles arranged in a single line and is designed for shading and color packing on large surfaces, where you need to cover a lot of skin with even color. It is intended for experienced artists working on large pieces (Japanese style, sleeves, back pieces) who have a machine powerful enough for large needle groupings.
How to use
- Sterilize the grip in an autoclave before the session — stainless steel withstands complete and repeated sterilization.
- Choose a flat needle compatible with the 39 configuration (flat needles aligned in a single row); flat tips are NOT used with magnum needles.
- Attach the 39F flat tip to the grip body and make sure it is securely fastened.
- Insert the flat needle through the grip so that it comes out centered and straight from the flat opening of the tip.
- Mount the grip on a machine with enough power to drive a large grouping of flat needles.
- Adjust the needle hang and briefly test the stroke in the air before touching the skin.
- Work in consistent passes for an even fill, maintaining the same angle and pressure across the entire surface.
- After the session, disassemble the tip and needle, then clean and sterilize the grip before reuse.
Tips from us
- Use it for large fills and shading on broad surfaces — for fine details or subtle transitions, choose smaller tips and needles (e.g., magnum).
- Make sure the machine has sufficient power; a large grouping of flat needles demands much more than a small setup.
- The detachable tip cleans much better — focus on the corners of the flat opening where residue can accumulate.
- Keep smaller flat tips on hand for intermediate areas; do not force the 39F on confined surfaces.
- Maintain a consistent angle and pressure to achieve even color without streaks between passes.
- Being stainless steel, it is reusable long-term if you maintain and sterilize it properly after each use.
Frequently asked questions
What needles do I use with this tip?▾
Flat (F) needles compatible with the 39 configuration, i.e., needles arranged in a single straight line. The tip is dedicated exclusively to flat needles; it is not used with other types of configurations.
Can I use magnum needles in this flat tip?▾
No. Flat tips are designed for needles arranged in a single row, while magnum needles are arranged in two rows and require dedicated tips (magnum or diamond). Inserting a magnum needle into a flat tip results in incorrect fit and compromised performance — always use the tip corresponding to the needle configuration.
How do I properly clean and sterilize it?▾
Remove the used needle and discard it, immediately rinse the tip and grip under water, clean the inside of the flat opening with a tube brush, then use an ultrasonic bath with enzymatic solution. Rinse, visually check for any residue in the corners, dry, pack sterile, and sterilize in an autoclave. Stainless steel withstands repeated sterilization without issues.
Is it suitable for beginners or for realism?▾
Not typically. The 39F flat tip is a specialized tool for large fills and shading on broad surfaces (Japanese style, large pieces). For realism and fine transitions, smaller magnums are more suitable. It is recommended for experienced artists.
What machine do I need for it to work well?▾
A machine with enough power to drive a large grouping of flat needles. Compact, underpowered setups may not provide the necessary force for so many needles simultaneously; choose a robust machine suitable for large fills.
Is it reusable or disposable?▾
The grip and tip are reusable and autoclavable — they are sterilized and used again. Only the needles are single-use consumables and are changed for each client.
