This is the original Cheyenne grip (handle) size M, with a diameter of 25 mm (25.4 mm), for machines from the Cheyenne Pen / Hawk Pen family. It mounts on the machine body and supports the cartridge, being the exact grip you work with on the skin — the balance and thickness directly affect hand comfort during long sessions. It is made of aluminum, in Germany, according to the medical standard ISO 13485, and is intended for artists who tattoo with a Cheyenne Pen machine. Size M is the universal one, with which the pen originally comes equipped, suitable for most techniques.
On which machines does this handle mount?▾
This handle is for the Cheyenne Pen / Hawk Pen platform — it slides onto the body of these machines. It works with all Cheyenne cartridges. Cheyenne grips are designed specifically for their platform, so make sure your machine is part of the Cheyenne Pen / Hawk Pen family before ordering.
Which size should I choose, S or M (25 mm)?▾
Cheyenne offers two sizes: S (tapered, thinner) and M (25.4 mm). Size M is the universal one, with which the pen originally comes equipped, and it covers all techniques well — it is the recommended choice as a first handle. The S variant is for artists who prefer a thinner grip. If you can, test both; if not, M / 25 mm is the safest option.
How do I clean and sterilize it correctly?▾
Being aluminum, the handle is reusable and easy to clean. After each client, remove the cartridge, clean the handle of residues, and sterilize it in an autoclave (standard cycle is usually at 134°C). Do not reuse it between clients without sterilization.
What cartridges can I use with it?▾
All Cheyenne cartridges can be used with this handle. Use sterile, disposable cartridges and discard them after each client.
Can I adjust the needle depth?▾
Yes. The needle depth adjustment range is 0 – 4.0 mm, so you can adapt the needle projection to the technique you are doing — smaller for lining, more for shading.
Is it an original product and does it have a warranty?▾
Yes, it is an original Cheyenne handle, manufactured in Germany according to the medical standard ISO 13485. Handles for the HAWK pen come with a 24-month warranty. The product reference code is CB-5.10/1 — useful to ensure, when ordering or receiving, that you have received the exact correct variant.
