Complete guide: Set of 50 Light Blue Plastic Caps 12mm
This product is a set of 50 plastic ink caps (cups) for tattoo ink, with a diameter of Ø12 mm, in a decorative skull shape, light blue color. The ink caps serve to hold the pigment while you work, and their small diameter makes them suitable for small amounts of ink — fine lines, details, touch-ups, or colors used sparingly. Being a consumable, they are designed for single use, after which they are discarded.
How to use
- Prepare the work station with protective barriers on the surfaces where you place the ink caps.
- Secure the ink caps either in a dedicated ink cap stand or stuck on adhesive tape/a stable surface, so they do not tip over during work.
- Pour into each ink cap only the amount of ink you need for that session — given the small diameter (Ø12mm), they are suitable for small volumes.
- If you mix or dilute the color, do so directly in the ink cap, according to the recommendations of the ink manufacturer used.
- Dip the needle/tube into the ink cap to pick up pigment as you work, avoiding direct contact of the handle with the edge of the ink cap.
- At the end of a session with a client, dispose of the used ink cap — it is not kept for the next client.
- Throw away the remaining ink and the used ink cap in the waste container, according to the hygiene procedures of the studio.
Tips from us
- Pour a little ink at a time; it's easier to add later than to throw away excess from a 12mm ink cap.
- Use an ink cap stand for stability — reduces the risk of spillage on the work table.
- Allocate a separate ink cap for each color, even if working on the same client, to avoid unwanted mixing of shades.
- Keep the set in a dry and clean place, away from dust, until use.
- Quickly check each ink cap before filling — if you notice cracks or deformations, do not use it.
Warning: The ink caps are SINGLE USE: they are discarded after each client/session and are not sterilized for reuse. Do not reuse the remaining ink in an already used ink cap for another client. Dispose of used ink caps according to the waste management regulations of the tattoo studio (they may come into contact with blood or other fluids). Do not keep the ink caps open with exposed ink longer than the duration of the session — prolonged exposure to air can dry out or contaminate the pigment.
Frequently asked questions
How many ink caps are in the set?▾
The set contains 50 pieces.
What size are the ink caps and what are they suitable for?▾
They have a diameter of Ø12mm, a small size suitable especially for small amounts of ink — fine lines, details, or colors used economically. For large volumes of ink, many artists prefer ink caps with a larger diameter, but information about other sizes is not part of this product.
Can the ink caps be washed and reused?▾
No. This product is marked as a single-use consumable — it is discarded after each session/client, not sterilized for reuse.
What material are they made of?▾
From plastic.
Do I also need a separate stand for the ink caps?▾
The product in this listing is the ink cap set itself. If you want additional stability on the work table, you can combine the set with an ink cap stand, available separately in the same category.
Why do they have a skull shape?▾
It is a decorative design (skull shape), without effect on the basic function of the ink cap to hold the ink — the choice is strictly based on the aesthetic preference of the artist or the studio.
