This set contains 50 plastic caps, with a diameter of 12mm, in the shape of a skull and dark blue color — designed as disposable containers for tattoo ink. They are a basic consumable for any workstation: they are used to pour a small amount of ink directly from the bottle, as much as you need for a session, without repeatedly dipping the needle into the original bottle. Suitable for both experienced artists and those organizing their first work kit.
What exactly are these caps used for?▾
They are small, disposable containers into which you pour a small amount of ink from the original bottle, as much as you need for a session. This way you don't dip the needle directly into the large bottle, and the rest of the ink remains clean for future clients.
Can they be washed and reused?▾
No. They are designed as a single-use product — they are discarded after each session, along with the remaining ink. Reusing an already used cap carries a risk of cross-contamination, so it is not a recommended practice.
What does the 12mm diameter mean — is it a standard size?▾
12mm is the diameter of the cap opening, a small-medium size, suitable for small amounts of ink (fine lines, shading on small surfaces, or short sessions). For large pieces with high ink consumption, you may need to refill more often.
Why does the color (dark blue) and skull shape of the cap matter?▾
They are aesthetic/visual identification elements of the container itself and have nothing to do with the ink you pour into it — you can put any ink color in any cap, regardless of its color or shape.
How do I secure them on the workstation so they don't tip over?▾
The safest way is to attach them to a dedicated ink cap holder or to a stable adhesive tape/tray, positioned so they cannot tip over while you work.
How many pieces are in a set and how long do they last?▾
The set contains 50 caps. How many sessions they cover depends on how many colors you use and how often you refill ink during a session — for short sessions with 1-2 colors, one set can cover multiple appointments.
