Complete guide: Set of 100 modular ink caps - hive caps
The 100-piece set of modular "hive caps" is a single-use consumable used as a support for ink, pigment, or adhesive during tattoo, micropigmentation, microblading, or eyelash extension sessions. The hexagonal design allows the caps to be interlocked with each other, directly on the work surface, eliminating the need for a separate holder or adhesive tape. Each cap can be detached and used individually for pigment, adhesive, remover, or primer, and at the end of the session, they are disposed of according to medical waste protocols.
How to use
- Determine how many colors or products (pigment, adhesive, remover, primer) you will use in the session and detach the corresponding number of caps from the set.
- Interlock the hexagonal caps laterally by gently pressing them next to each other until you achieve the stable configuration you need on your work surface.
- Pour the required amount of ink, pigment, adhesive, remover, or primer into each cap, keeping the pigment caps separate from the remover/primer ones.
- Position the cap structure in an easily accessible area of your workstation, within reach throughout the procedure.
- If you need to move or replace a cap, detach it individually from the structure without disturbing the rest of the configuration.
- At the end of the session, dispose of all used caps — they are not reusable — according to your studio's medical waste protocol.
Tips from us
- Prepare the number of caps needed for the session in advance, depending on how many colors or products you use, so you don't have to interrupt your work to detach more.
- Take advantage of the modular interlocking to build the structure in the shape and size that are most comfortable on your work surface, without an additional holder.
- Use the contrast provided by the light gray color of the caps to quickly identify ink shades, especially in multi-color projects.
- Clearly separate, within the same structure, the pigment caps from those with remover or primer to avoid accidental mixing.
- Carefully detach a cap from the structure when you want to move or remove it, so you don't shift the rest of the configuration or spill the contents.
Warning: The caps are single-use and cannot be reused — reusing them increases the risk of cross-contamination between clients or sessions. After each procedure, dispose of used caps according to your studio's medical/biological waste protocol, just like any other consumable that has come into contact with ink, pigment, or potentially bodily fluids.
Frequently asked questions
What are modular 'hive caps' and what are they used for?▾
They are single-use caps with a hexagonal design, used as a support for ink, pigment, adhesive, remover, or primer in tattoo, micropigmentation, microblading, or eyelash extension procedures. They interlock modularly, forming a stable structure on the work surface without requiring a separate holder.
How do the caps interlock with each other?▾
The caps have hexagonal edges that snap together with gentle lateral pressure, one next to another. The interlocking keeps the structure stable on the table, but each cap can be individually detached whenever you need to move or remove it from the configuration.
Do I need a separate holder for the caps?▾
No. The advantage of the modular system is precisely that the interlocked cap structure creates its own stable base on the work surface, without adhesive tape or additional holders.
Can the caps be reused after a session?▾
No — they are single-use consumables. After each session, they are disposed of according to medical waste protocols, just like any other consumable that comes into contact with ink or pigment. Reuse increases the risk of cross-contamination.
What products are the caps compatible with — only ink?▾
Each cap can be used for ink/pigment, adhesive, remover, or primer. Choose how many caps you detach from the set based on how many different products you use in the same session.
What are the dimensions of an individual cap?▾
Each cap has a height of 19.3 mm and an inner diameter of 14.85 mm — suitable dimensions for the volume of ink or pigment used during a typical session.

How do Hive Caps interlock with each other? Hive Caps feature a hexagonal design with profiled edges that allow interlocking by simply pressing two adjacent caps together laterally. The connection is firm enough to maintain a stable structure but flexible enough to allow easy detachment of individual caps when needed. Do Hive Caps require additional support?
