Complete guide: Stainless steel grip 35mm with 35F tip
The 35mm stainless steel handle with a 35F tip is a professional accessory for coil and rotary tattoo machines, designed for shading and filling techniques on large skin areas. The integrated flat, rectangular tip is compatible with 35-configuration needles, and the 35mm handle diameter provides a stable grip during long work sessions. Made from stainless steel, it can be repeatedly cleaned and sterilized, making it a choice for artists who prefer reusable equipment over disposable handles. It suits both experienced artists and those transitioning from entry-level to professional setups.
How to use
- Before first use, ensure the handle undergoes a complete cleaning and sterilization cycle, even if it comes packaged as new.
- Mount the handle onto the tattoo machine, checking that the tube clamping system is compatible with the 35mm diameter.
- Insert a 35-configuration needle into the tip, suitable for the flat 35F tip.
- Check the needle stability in the tip and free movement before starting work.
- Use shading or filling techniques adapted to the flat tip for even coverage on large areas.
- After each use, remove and discard the needle (it is disposable) and separate the handle for cleaning.
- Ultrasonically clean the handle to remove residues, then sterilize it in an autoclave before reuse.
- Store the handle sterile, wrapped, until the next work session.
Tips from us
- Confirm the 35mm diameter compatibility with your machine's grip before ordering.
- Use exclusively 35-configuration compatible needles for this tip.
- Ultrasonically clean the handle before each sterilization to reduce the risk of remaining organic residues.
- Avoid chlorine-based cleaning solutions, which can affect the satin finish of the steel.
- For PMU or microblading, this is not the most suitable choice — there are handles with smaller diameters dedicated to these techniques.
- Visually inspect the handle before each session (scratches, corrosion marks), even though stainless steel resists well over time.
Warning: As a reusable tool that comes into direct contact with the skin, the handle must be sterilized in an autoclave (according to the manufacturer's description: 134°C, minimum 18 minutes) after each use, preceded by ultrasonic cleaning. Always use sterile disposable needles and protective barriers (film/protective sleeve) on the handle, following standard hygiene practices in tattooing. Do not reuse the handle without a complete sterilization cycle, even if it appears visually clean.
Frequently asked questions
What material is the handle made of?▾
According to the product description, the handle is made of 304L stainless steel, the same standard used for surgical instruments, with a non-slip satin finish for better grip.
What techniques is the 35F tip suitable for?▾
The 35F tip, flat with a rectangular shape, is recommended for shading and filling on large surfaces — suitable for backgrounds, extensive color work, and smooth shadow transitions.
How should this handle be properly sterilized between uses?▾
First clean it ultrasonically to remove residues, then sterilize it in an autoclave at 134°C for a minimum of 18 minutes, as per the product description instructions. Avoid chlorine-based solutions, which can damage the finish.
Is it compatible with any tattoo machine?▾
It is compatible with coil and rotary machines that use a standard tube clamping system. However, check your machine's specifications before ordering to confirm that the 35mm diameter fits the grip you use.
Can it be used for PMU or microblading?▾
It is not the recommended choice — it is designed for classic body tattooing. For PMU or microblading, there are handles with smaller diameters and needle configurations dedicated to these techniques.
Is the handle disposable or reusable?▾
It is reusable — being made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel, it withstands repeated cleaning and autoclave sterilization cycles, unlike disposable handles.

Frequently Asked Questions What material is the 35mm stainless steel grip made from? The grip is manufactured from 304L surgical-grade stainless steel, an alloy recognized for excellent corrosion resistance and autoclave sterilization compatibility. This material is the industry standard for medical and professional tattoo instruments. The satin finish adds anti-slip properties for superior control. What tattoo techniques are recommended with the 35F tip? The 35F tip is optimized for shading and filling large surface areas. The flat configuration with 35 needles enables uniform coverage and fine shadow transitions. It is ideal for realistic portraits, large-area color work, and background fills in complex compositions. How should this grip be properly sterilized? The recommended process includes initial ultrasonic cleaning to remove residues, followed by autoclave sterilization at 134 degrees Celsius for a minimum of 18 minutes. Stainless steel withstands unlimited sterilization cycles without degradation. Avoid chlorine-based solutions that may compromise the finish. Is this grip compatible with any tattoo machine? The grip is compatible with most coil and rotary tattoo machines using a standard tube grip system. The 35mm diameter is one of the most popular sizes in the industry. Check your machine specifications to confirm compatibility with standard grips. What advantages does the 35mm diameter offer over other sizes? The 35mm diameter provides an optimal balance between fine control and ergonomic comfort. Compared to 25mm grips, it reduces muscle tension through more even pressure distribution. Versus 40mm grips, it maintains the agility needed for fine details. It is the preferred size for most professional artists. How heavy is the 35mm stainless steel grip? The 35mm stainless steel grip has a moderate weight characteristic of surgical steel, providing stability without causing excessive fatigue. The balanced weight contributes to precise movement control and reduces vibrations transmitted to the hand. The optimal balance makes it comfortable for work sessions exceeding 4 hours. Can this grip be used for microblading or PMU? The 35mm grip with 35F tip is primarily designed for traditional body tattooing, not for PMU or microblading procedures. For these specialized techniques, smaller diameter grips with dedicated needle configurations are recommended. However, it can be used for eyebrow shading if the artist prefers this format. How long does the stainless steel grip last in professional use? A professional-quality stainless steel grip can last years under intensive use, provided proper maintenance is followed. 304L steel does not degrade through repeated sterilization and does not lose its anti-corrosion properties. The only reasons for replacement are extreme mechanical wear or accidental finish damage. What is the difference between a stainless steel grip and a disposable one? The stainless steel grip is reusable, eco-friendly, and offers superior tactile feedback due to the weight and rigidity of the metal. Disposable grips are plastic, lighter, and eliminate the need for sterilization. Professionals often prefer stainless steel for superior control, while disposable grips are practical for guest spots and conventions. Does the grip include the tube or just the grip itself? This product includes the 35mm stainless steel grip with the integrated 35F tip, forming a complete assembly ready for use. No separate tip purchase is required. Check compatibility with your machine's backstem system before use to ensure a perfect fit.
