Complete guide: Set of 100 individually wrapped ink caps 8mm
Dappen dishes are small, disposable containers into which you pour ink, pigment or adhesive right next to the work station. This set contains 100 pieces with a diameter of Ø8mm, each individually packaged in a sealed bag. The small diameter makes them especially suitable for small amounts, and the transparent plastic helps you see the color and quantity. They are useful for tattoo artists and micropigmentation, microblading or eyelash extension technicians.
How to use
- Prepare your clean station and place the stand on which you fix the dappen dishes within reach.
- Tear open the individual packaging at the pre-marked corner and remove the dappen dish without touching its interior.
- Fix the dappen dish on the stand designed for dappen dishes, so it stays stable during work.
- Pour into it only the necessary amount of ink, pigment, adhesive, primer or remover.
- Use the transparent plastic as a reference for color and how much is left; top up if needed.
- When changing clients or at the end of the session, discard the used dappen dish together with the remaining ink.
- Open a new individual packaging only when you need it.
Tips from us
- Pour a little and more often — the 8mm diameter is designed for small amounts, suitable for fineline, single needle, dotwork and microrealism.
- Use separate dappen dishes for different colors to avoid unwanted mixing.
- Keep a few individual bags in your portable kit for conventions and guest spots, where storage conditions are less controlled.
- Open the packaging only just before use to maintain the hygiene of the dappen dish until the last moment.
- The same type of dappen dish can serve you for adhesive or primer in PMU, microblading and eyelash extensions, not just for ink.
Warning: Dappen dishes are SINGLE-USE: one per client, discarded after the session together with any remaining ink or pigment. Do not reuse them and do not refill ink from a dappen dish already used on another person — you risk cross-contamination. Discard used dappen dishes according to the regulations for managing contaminated waste in your activity. Open the individual packaging only immediately before use.
Frequently asked questions
How many dappen dishes does the set contain and what size are they?▾
The set contains 100 pieces, each with a diameter of Ø8mm, individually packaged in sealed bags.
What type of work is the 8mm diameter suitable for?▾
For small amounts of ink — fineline, single needle, dotwork, microrealism and fine details — and for micropigmentation (PMU) pigments, which are anyway used in small quantities.
Can I reuse a dappen dish from one client to another?▾
No. They are single-use and are discarded after each client, along with any remaining ink or pigment. Reusing them poses a risk of cross-contamination.
Do I need a separate stand for them?▾
Dappen dishes are placed on a stand specially designed for them, which keeps them stable on the station. The stand is not included in this set — here you receive only the 100 dappen dishes.
Can I use them for anything else besides ink?▾
Yes. They can be used as a container for pigment, adhesive, remover or primer, so they are useful for micropigmentation, microblading or eyelash extensions, not just for tattooing.
Why are they individually packaged and not in bulk?▾
Each dappen dish remains individually sealed until the moment it is opened, which reduces the risk of contamination compared to dappen dishes kept in bulk. It is also practical for transport in a portable kit, at conventions or guest spots.

Frequently Asked Questions Why are individually packaged caps better? Individual packaging guarantees each cap's sterility until use.

Individual packaging ensures hygiene even in less controlled working conditions, and the compact set is easy to transport in the portable kit. How is the individual packaging opened? Each pouch has a pre-marked corner for easy tearing. Open by pulling with a quick motion, releasing the sterile cap ready for use. Are they more expensive than non-individually packaged ones? Yes, the per-unit price is higher due to the individual sterile packaging. The price difference is an investment in safety and hygiene that is fully justified. Can they be used for PMU too? Yes, the 8mm size is perfect for PMU pigments used in very small quantities. Sterile packaging is particularly important in micropigmentation. How is the 100-piece set stored?
