This is a disposable ergonomic grip from the FK Irons Gorilla series, with a diameter of 39 mm at its widest point—the largest diameter available in this series. It is specially designed for FK Irons Spektra Xion (including the Stealth variant) machines, with a 3 mm central bore compatible with machines that have a built-in drive bar. It suits artists with larger hands or those working long sessions with constant pressure—shading, color packing, extensive fills—where a more substantial grip helps reduce hand fatigue. It comes sterile, sterilized with EO gas (ethylene oxide) and individually packaged, ready to mount directly on the machine.
Does the Gorilla 39mm grip fit any tattoo machine?▾
No. It is specifically designed for FK Irons Spektra Xion (and Spektra Xion Stealth), with a 3 mm central bore compatible with machines that have a built-in drive bar. It is not a universal grip—it does not fit machines from other brands or FK Irons generations with a different mounting system. If you have another machine, check compatibility before ordering.
Why choose 39mm over a slimmer diameter?▾
39 mm is the thickest diameter available in the Gorilla series and is designed for artists with large hands or for styles with constant pressure and long sessions—shading, color packing, extensive fills—where a more substantial grip reduces hand fatigue. For fine lining or detail work, a slimmer diameter (e.g., the 21 mm Slim variant from the same series) is usually more suitable. The choice remains largely a matter of personal comfort.
How many pieces come in the pack and what do I do with it after use?▾
The box contains 24 grips, each individually packaged and sterilized with EO gas (ethylene oxide). Being disposable, each grip is discarded after a single client, directly into a sharps medical waste container—it is not re-sterilized or reused.
How do I adjust the needle depth on this grip?▾
The grip has a depth adjustment system between 0 and 4 mm, locked with a Ratchet Disc that prevents the cartridge from rotating unintentionally during work, even on heavier machines. Adjust it before starting the session, depending on the style and cartridge used.
Do I need to sterilize it before first use?▾
No. It comes already sterile from the factory, sterilized with EO gas and individually blister-packaged—open it directly before mounting on the machine, without autoclaving or any other additional procedures. Just check the packaging integrity upon opening.
Does it fit any hand size?▾
It is ergonomically designed with a grooved pattern for index finger support, intended to be comfortable for various hand sizes. However, being the thickest diameter in the series (39 mm), it is recommended especially for artists with large hands or those who prefer a more substantial grip.
