Complete guide: Grip for Bishop Wand 19mm (3/4'')
This single-use grip is specially designed for Bishop Wand tattoo machines (pen-style, rotary) and has a 19mm (3/4") gripping diameter. The medical-grade non-slip rubber exterior with ergonomic finger grooves provides a stable hold, and the rotating mechanism allows needle depth adjustment directly from the grip. It is suitable for artists working on styles that require fine wrist movements — fine lines, dotwork, or PMU procedures — and for high-volume studios where each sterile, single-use grip simplifies hygiene protocols.
How to use
- Before use, verify that the grip is compatible with your machine — it is specifically designed for Bishop Wand machines (Liner, Packer, and Shader models).
- Open the individual sterile package immediately before the procedure, not in advance, to maintain the sterility of the inner surface.
- Slide the grip onto the Bishop Wand machine body until it is fully seated without any wobble.
- Check stability — there should be no vibration or movement between the grip and the machine before starting work.
- Mount your chosen cartridge needle (the grip is compatible with all cartridge needles) following the machine's standard procedure.
- Adjust the needle depth by rotating the grip: each full 360° rotation changes the depth by 1.5 mm, within a total range of 0 to 5 mm.
- Test the depth on a practice surface before the session, adjusting by rotating until you achieve the setting suitable for your working style.
- After use, dispose of the grip — it is single-use and should not be kept for a later session.
Tips from us
- The 19mm diameter offers fine wrist control, suitable for fine lines, dotwork, or PMU work, where movement precision matters more than surface coverage.
- For long sessions or high-client-flow studios, keep multiple pieces on hand — each grip is used only once.
- Do not force the fit if you feel play between the grip and the machine body — double-check the alignment before starting work.
- Store unopened packages in a clean, dry space until use to avoid compromising sterility.
- Adjust the needle depth progressively with small rotations, especially if the working style requires consistent depth throughout the session.
- When ordering, check the product sheet for the number of pieces per package to size your stock according to client volume.
Warning: The grip is single-use — do not sterilize or reuse it for another session or client; the internal plastic is not designed for autoclaving, and reuse compromises both the grip's integrity and client safety. Open the sterile packaging immediately before the procedure and avoid touching the inner surface that contacts the machine. Follow standard tattooing biosecurity protocols — clean gloves, disinfect the machine body before mounting, and properly dispose of the used grip and cartridge needle according to your studio's sharps/medical waste management regulations.
Frequently asked questions
Does the grip fit any tattoo machine?▾
No, this 19mm grip is specifically designed for Bishop Wand machines (pen-style, rotary), including the Liner, Packer, and Shader models. It is not recommended for other machines, as the attachment geometry is optimized exclusively for Bishop Wand and a secure, wobble-free fit cannot be guaranteed.
How do I adjust the needle depth with this grip?▾
Adjustment is made by rotating the grip: each full 360° rotation changes the depth by 1.5 mm, within a total range of 0 to 5 mm. Rotate progressively until you achieve the depth suitable for your working style, ideally tested on a practice surface before the session.
Can it be sterilized and reused for another session?▾
No. It is a single-use product, individually packaged and sterile from manufacturing. The internal plastic is not designed to withstand the autoclave sterilization process, and reuse compromises the grip's integrity and biosecurity protocol. Use a new grip for each client or session.
What type of needles is it compatible with?▾
It is compatible with all cartridge needles, regardless of configuration, as long as the machine it is mounted on is a Bishop Wand. The choice of the appropriate cartridge needle remains at the artist's discretion, depending on the style and technique used.
Why should I choose the 19mm diameter over a larger one?▾
The smaller diameter of 19mm (3/4") offers finer wrist control, making it sought after for fine lines, dotwork, or PMU procedures where movement precision matters greatly. In tattooing generally, larger diameter grips provide more stability for long shading or lining sessions, while smaller diameters favor short, precise movements — the choice depends on your working style and hand comfort.
How many grips come in a package?▾
The exact quantity per package is not specified in this product's sheet — check at the time of order for the number of pieces included. Each grip is individually packaged and sterile regardless of quantity, so you can choose based on your studio's client volume.

Frequently Asked Questions Is this grip only compatible with the Bishop Wand machine? Yes, this 19mm grip is specifically designed for the Bishop Wand machine and fits perfectly on this model. The diameter and attachment system are optimized exclusively for Bishop Wand geometry. Use on other machines is not recommended as secure attachment cannot be guaranteed. How many grips come in a package? Bishop Wand grips are available in various packaging configurations. Check the product specifications for the exact number of pieces per package. Each grip is individually packaged and sterilized to guarantee maximum safety. We recommend purchasing in sufficient quantities for your daily client volume. Why choose the 19mm diameter instead of 25mm? The 19mm diameter provides superior wrist control, being ideal for work requiring precise, short movements. It is preferred for fine line, dotwork, geometric, and small-scale realism. Artists with smaller hands find it more comfortable. The 25mm diameter offers more stability for shading and long lines. Can this grip be reused after sterilization? No, this grip is designed strictly for single use. The plastic materials it is made from are not engineered to withstand autoclave sterilization processes. Reuse compromises structural integrity and presents cross-contamination risk. Always follow industry biosecurity protocols. How is the grip mounted on the Bishop Wand machine? Mounting is simple and intuitive: slide the grip onto the Bishop Wand machine body until it is fully seated. Ensure the grip is properly aligned and there is no play between the grip and machine. Verify stability before starting work. No additional tools are required for mounting. Is it suitable for PMU and microblading procedures? Yes, the compact 19mm diameter makes it excellent for PMU procedures such as eyebrow, lip, and eyeliner micropigmentation. The precise wrist control it provides is essential for these delicate techniques. For manual microblading, dedicated tools are needed, but for PMU with the Bishop Wand machine, this grip is ideal. What material is used to manufacture the grip? The grip is manufactured from high-quality, non-toxic, hypoallergenic medical-grade plastic. The material is rigid enough to provide stability while featuring a texture that ensures grip. Being single-use, it completely eliminates risks associated with incomplete sterilization of reusable grips. Does the grip affect the weight and balance of the Bishop Wand machine? The disposable grip adds minimal weight to the machine, keeping its original balance virtually unchanged. The design was optimized by Bishop to integrate harmoniously with the Wand machine. Most artists report that the weight difference is imperceptible compared to working without an additional grip. Can I use this grip at tattoo conventions? Absolutely, disposable grips are the perfect solution for conventions and guest spots. They eliminate the need to transport sterilization equipment and guarantee compliance with event health regulations. Each client receives a new, sterile grip, demonstrating professionalism and commitment to safety. How should used grips be properly disposed of? Used grips must be discarded in contaminated medical waste containers, in accordance with local biomedical waste management legislation. Do not dispose of them in regular household waste. Contract an authorized medical waste collection company for your studio. Compliance with these protocols is legally mandatory.
