Complete guide: FK Irons Slim Flux S 28mm Disposable Grip
The FK Irons Slim Flux S 28mm rubber grip is a disposable grip designed for pen machines from the FK Irons Flux S line. With a 28mm diameter — the slimmest in the FK Irons lineup — it is the choice of artists working in styles that require fine wrist control: fine line, dotwork, geometric, microrealism. Being disposable, it eliminates the need for sterilization between clients and reduces the risk of cross-contamination.
How to use
- Check before ordering that the grip fits your machine: it is natively compatible with FK Irons Flux pen machines (designed specifically for FLUX S).
- Keep the airtight packaging sealed until right before the session — each grip is sterilized and individually packaged.
- Open the packaging just before starting work to maintain the sterility of the grip.
- Mount the grip on the machine and check the fit — it is designed to attach without lateral or axial play.
- Start the session; thanks to the slim 28mm diameter, you have more precise control for fine lines and details.
- If excess ink accumulates on the surface during the session, wipe with a damp cloth, without aggressive solvents.
- Use a new grip for each client — it is a disposable product, do not re-sterilize for reuse.
- Dispose of the grip according to the waste disposal regulations for tattooing practice after each session.
Tips from us
- 28mm is the slimmest diameter in the FK Irons range — suitable for styles requiring fine and fast movements (fine line, dotwork, geometric, microrealism) or for PMU (eyebrows, lips, eyeliner).
- For very long sessions (over 6 hours), especially with predominant shading, a thicker diameter may be more comfortable for the hand — many artists alternate diameters depending on the phase of the work.
- The rubber is synthetic, latex-free, according to the manufacturer — good to know if you or your client have latex sensitivity.
- Do not use aggressive solvents on the rubber surface if you clean it during the session — only a damp cloth.
- Check the integrity of the airtight packaging before opening it; if it appears damaged, do not use the product.
- Confirm compatibility with the exact FK Irons machine model you have before ordering multiple units.
Warning: Disposable product: do not re-sterilize or reuse on another client — use a new grip for each person being tattooed as a measure to prevent cross-contamination. Open the airtight packaging only right before use and check its integrity; if it is damaged or unsealed, do not use the product.
Frequently asked questions
How does rubber differ from foam or plastic on a grip?▾
According to the manufacturer, rubber offers a firm grip and distinct tactile feedback without being too rigid or too soft. Unlike foam, it does not compress significantly under pressure, so the diameter remains constant throughout the session. Compared to plastic, it provides more natural grip, which can help reduce hand fatigue.
Is it suitable for PMU procedures?▾
Yes — the compact 28mm diameter makes it suitable for PMU procedures that require precise wrist control, such as micropigmentation for eyebrows, lips, or eyeliner. The rubber provides the extra grip needed for the fine movements required by these techniques.
Can I alternate between different grip diameters in the same session?▾
Yes, many professional artists keep stocks of multiple diameters and switch them depending on the phase of the work — a slim diameter like this for lines and details, a thicker one for shading and filling. Quick swapping between grips is one of the advantages of the disposable system.
Can the rubber on the grip cause latex allergies?▾
The material used by FK Irons for this grip is synthetic rubber, latex-free, according to the manufacturer's data. However, always check the information on the packaging before use, especially if you or your client have known allergies.
How do you clean ink off the rubber surface during work?▾
Being a disposable product, actual cleaning is not necessary — you use a new grip for each client. If visible ink accumulates on the surface during the session, you can gently wipe with a damp cloth, avoiding aggressive solvents that could damage the surface.
Is 28mm too slim for long sessions?▾
It can become more tiring in very long sessions (over 6 hours), especially with predominant shading, because a slim diameter requires a firmer grip. The good grip of the rubber partially compensates for this, but for long sessions focused on shading, a thicker diameter might be more comfortable.

Frequently Asked Questions What makes rubber material different from foam or plastic? Rubber provides firm grip and distinct tactile feedback without being too rigid or too soft. Unlike foam, it does not compress significantly under pressure, maintaining consistent diameter. Compared to plastic, it offers more natural grip without fatiguing the hand. It is ideal for artists wanting maximum control. Is Slim Flux S 28mm suitable for PMU? Yes, the compact 28mm diameter makes it excellent for PMU procedures requiring precise wrist control. It is suitable for eyebrow, lip, and eyeliner micropigmentation. The rubber provides the additional grip needed for the fine, controlled movements required by these delicate techniques. Can I alternate between Slim Flux 28mm and Ergo Shield 40mm in the same day? Absolutely, many professional artists keep stock of multiple sizes and alternate them depending on the work phase. Slim Flux 28mm for lines and details, Ergo Shield 40mm for shading and filling. Quick changeover between grips is one of the great advantages of the FK Irons disposable system. Does the rubber cause latex allergies? FK Irons Slim Flux S rubber material is manufactured from synthetic rubber, without natural latex. It is hypoallergenic and tested for biocompatibility. People with latex allergies can safely use this grip. Always check packaging information for exact composition. Is 28mm too thin for long sessions? The 28mm diameter may cause faster fatigue in very long sessions for some artists, as it requires a firmer grip. The rubber partially compensates through superior adherence that reduces gripping effort. For sessions over 6 hours predominantly with shading, a larger diameter would be more comfortable. How do I clean ink from the rubber surface? Being single-use, cleaning is neither necessary nor recommended. Use a new grip for each client. During a session, you can wipe the surface with a damp cloth if ink accumulates excessively. Do not use aggressive solvents that could damage the rubber surface. Which FK Irons machines are best suited for Slim Flux S? Slim Flux S 28mm is compatible with FK Irons pen machines that accept grips from the Flux range. It is particularly popular in combination with more compact and lightweight FK Irons models, creating a slim and agile assembly. Check machine specifications for Slim Flux range compatibility. Does the grip have texture on the rubber surface? Yes, the rubber surface features a subtle texture that improves grip without being irritating to skin through gloves. The texture is calibrated to provide optimal grip with minimal squeezing effort. Rubber itself has natural adhesion properties that complement the mechanical texture. Is Slim Flux S available in other diameters? Slim Flux S at 28mm is the thinnest variant in the Flux range. FK Irons also offers Flux 33mm with Foam for artists preferring a slightly larger diameter. The complete FK Irons range covers diameters from 28mm to 60mm, ensuring every artist finds their ideal size. Is it worth investing in Slim Flux S if I work exclusively shading? If you work exclusively shading, a larger diameter grip like Ergo Shield 40mm or 55mm would be more suitable. Slim Flux S 28mm is optimized for detailed techniques and fine lines. However, if you prefer the feel of thin grips and rubber as material, it can be a viable option for shading on small areas too.
