Complete guide: FK Irons Classic Xion 32mm Disposable Tattoo Grips
This is a disposable grip for the Spektra Xion tattoo machine, produced by FK Irons, with a diameter of 32 mm and a 'Classic' profile — a simple cylindrical shape, without special ergonomic contours. Thanks to the 3 mm center bore, it fits not only the Spektra Xion but any tattoo machine with an integrated drive bar. It comes sterile, individually packaged (ethylene oxide — EO sterilization), ready to use straight from the blister, with no additional cleaning or resterilization steps.
How to use
- Check the blister before opening: it must be intact, unopened, and without any signs of damage — if the packaging is compromised, do not use the grip.
- Wash your hands and put on disposable gloves before handling any sterile component.
- Open the blister only at the time of assembly, as close as possible to the start of the session, to maintain sterility.
- Mount the grip onto the body of the Spektra Xion machine (or onto another machine compatible with a drive bar and 3 mm bore).
- Insert the needle cartridge through the front opening of the grip.
- Adjust the needle depth using the click-wheel disc system, between 0 mm and 4 mm, until you achieve the desired needle projection.
- Visually and by touch, check that the adjustment disc is firmly locked with no play before starting the machine.
- After the session, dispose of the grip together with the used needle/cartridge directly into the sharps waste container — do not clean, resterilize, or reuse.
Tips from us
- It is strictly single-use — do not attempt to resterilize or reuse it for another session or another client.
- If you work with various styles (linework, shading, color) on the same day and prefer a single grip diameter, 32 mm is a middle-ground choice — neither the thinnest for maximum precision nor the thickest for maximum grip.
- Keep unopened blisters in a dry place, away from direct light and heat, until the moment of use.
- When changing the needle cartridge during the session, use aseptic technique — avoid touching the area that comes into contact with the client's skin with an ungloved hand.
- If you want to mount it on a machine other than the Spektra Xion, first check that it has an integrated drive bar and a compatible 3 mm bore.
Warning: This is a single-use, sterile product, sterilized with ethylene oxide (EO) — do not clean, disinfect, or resterilize for reuse. Do not use the grip if the blister is opened, damaged, or if the expiration date marked on the packaging has passed. Handle it only with clean hands/gloves, open the blister just before assembly, and dispose of it after the session in sharps waste containers, according to the studio's hygiene protocol.
Frequently asked questions
Which tattoo machines is this grip compatible with?▾
It is dedicated to the FK Irons Spektra Xion machine, but thanks to the 3 mm center bore, it is compatible with any tattoo machine that has an integrated drive bar (rotary with drive bar).
Can it be resterilized and reused on multiple clients?▾
No. It is a single-use product, factory-sterilized with ethylene oxide (EO) and individually packaged. After one session it is disposed of; it is not cleaned or resterilized for reuse.
What does the adjustment from 0 mm to 4 mm mean?▾
It is the adjustment range for the needle projection depth, controlled by a click-wheel disc system that locks into the chosen position, preventing involuntary rotation of the disc during work.
Is 32 mm a good diameter for a beginner artist?▾
32 mm is a middle diameter, neither very thin nor very thick. In general, thinner grips offer more fine control (suitable for linework), while thicker grips offer more palm support during long shading/color sessions. A medium diameter like this is a reasonable compromise if you work with varied techniques, but the final choice also depends on hand size and personal preference.
How do I properly dispose of it after use?▾
Together with the used needle/cartridge, it is thrown directly into the studio's sharps waste container — not in household trash and not kept for reuse.
