Complete guide: Set of 250 Killer Ink black silicone caps 12mm
The set of 250 Killer Ink ink caps, made of black silicone with a diameter of 12mm, is a professional consumable for managing tattoo ink during sessions. The flexible silicone base naturally adheres to flat surfaces, reducing the risk of tipping and ink waste, while the black color helps in accurately assessing the shade and consistency of the ink before application. The 12mm size is considered 'universal' — spacious enough for moderate amounts of ink yet compact enough for precision work. It suits both experienced artists and beginners organizing their workstation.
How to use
- Place the caps on a flat, stable surface (work table or a dedicated ink cap holder) — the silicone base adheres better to smooth surfaces.
- Pour into each cap only the amount of ink you need for that color, without overfilling.
- Use a separate cap for each ink color or shade to avoid accidental mixing.
- Visually check the color and consistency of the ink against the black background of the cap before starting work on the skin.
- During the session, extract the ink directly from the cap with the machine needle, without touching the edges of the cap.
- At the end, used caps are discarded — they are single-use consumables, not cleaned for reuse.
- Dispose of used caps according to the studio's waste management protocol.
Tips from us
- Choose 12mm as an 'all-around' size if you're unsure which size to order first — Killer Ink also offers other sizes (10, 14, 16, 20, 30mm) for specific style or ink quantity needs.
- Place the caps on as flat a surface as possible; the silicone base does not adhere as well to uneven surfaces or those covered with wrinkled foil.
- Pour ink gradually, in small amounts — you can always add more, but excess poured and unused ink is wasted.
- For extra safety during long sessions, use a dedicated ink cap holder in addition to positioning on the work table.
- Order the 250-piece set if you have a steady studio activity — the cost per piece decreases and you won't risk running out of stock mid-session.
- Check the ink shade directly in the cap against the black background before starting work — color differences are more noticeable than on light surfaces.
Frequently asked questions
Why is 12mm considered a universal size?▾
Because it offers a balance between capacity and compactness: it's large enough for moderate amounts of ink but doesn't take up excessive workspace. Many artists use it as their primary size, regardless of style.
How many ink caps are used on average per session?▾
Depending on the number of colors and the complexity of the work, between 3 and 8 12mm ink caps are typically used per session — fewer for monochrome work, more for color work. The 250-piece set thus covers dozens of sessions.
Can they be used with any type of tattoo ink?▾
Yes. Silicone does not chemically react with pigments and does not alter the properties of the ink, making it suitable for standard tattoo ink formulations (water-based, glycerin-based, etc.).
Can I reuse a cap for multiple sessions to save money?▾
No. The caps are designed as single-use products — they are discarded after each session to avoid cross-contamination between clients. Savings are achieved by purchasing in a large set (250 pcs), not by reusing.
Why silicone and not regular rigid plastic?▾
The silicone base naturally adheres to flat surfaces, providing better stability and reducing the risk of ink tipping compared to a rigid plastic cap. The flexible material also helps recover ink remaining at the bottom of the cap.
Does Killer Ink have other sizes of ink caps?▾
Yes — in addition to 12mm, sizes of 10mm, 14mm, 16mm, 20mm, and 30mm are also available, each suitable for different amounts of ink or working styles. Choose based on how much ink you typically use per color.
