Complete guide: Set of 50 Purple Plastic Caps 12mm
The set contains 50 plastic cups with a 12mm diameter, in purple, with a 'skeleton' base — a construction with stabilizing ribs that increases the contact surface with the work table and reduces the risk of an ink cup accidentally tipping over. The cups are disposable: you pour ink directly into them and use them for controlled dosing during the session. The 12mm diameter is a commonly used size for both lining and moderate shading, suitable for tattoo artists of any experience level.
How to use
- Disinfect the workstation surface and cover it with disposable protective film, according to your usual hygiene protocol.
- Remove from the packaging only as many cups as you estimate you will use in the session — the rest remain protected until needed.
- Place the cups on the work surface; the 'skeleton' ribbed base keeps them stable even during sudden movements or on slightly inclined surfaces.
- Pour the ink directly into the cup, a little at a time, as needed — the 12mm diameter is suitable for both lining and moderate shading.
- If working with multiple colors, use one cup for each — the purple base color helps you quickly identify them among others on the table.
- During the session, check the ink level through the translucent walls of the cup without lifting it from the table.
- At the end of the session, discard each used cup together with the residual ink inside — do not wash or reuse.
- Dispose of used cups according to medical waste regulations (yellow bag), separate from household waste.
Tips from us
- Choose the 12mm diameter if you frequently work on lining or moderate shading — it is the most commonly used size for these techniques.
- If you mix two ink colors, do so directly in a single 12mm cup, being careful not to exceed its usable volume.
- Use the purple base color as a visual reference to quickly organize your workstation when you have multiple ink colors open simultaneously.
- Check if your cup holder has holes wide enough for the 'skeleton' base — the 12mm top diameter fits standard holders, but the wider base may require a larger hole.
- Do not pour more ink than you need for the current session — since it is disposable, any surplus is discarded with the cup.
- A set of 50 pieces typically covers multiple sessions — calculate your needs based on how many ink colors you usually use per client.
Frequently asked questions
What does the 'skeleton' design at the base of the cups mean?▾
It is the basic type with stabilizing ribs, designed to increase the contact surface with the work table and reduce the risk of an ink cup accidentally tipping over during the session, compared to a classic flat base.
Does the plastic the cups are made of react with tattoo ink?▾
According to the manufacturer, the plastic material used is chosen for chemical inertness and does not react with professional tattoo inks, including vegan, organic, or REACH-compliant formulas. The upper walls remain translucent so you can see the color and ink level inside.
Do they fit in standard cup holders?▾
The 12mm top diameter fits standard cup holders. However, the 'skeleton' base is wider than regular flat cups, so if you use a holder with holes, check that they are wide enough for the base.
Can I mix two ink colors in the same cup?▾
Yes, the 12mm diameter provides enough space to mix two colors directly in the cup, using the needle or a mixing tool. The 'skeleton' base helps the cup stay stable during mixing.
How are the cups disposed of after use?▾
They are disposed of as medical waste (yellow bag), together with the residual ink inside — not in household trash and not recycled, as they are contaminated with ink.
Do the 'skeleton' cups come in colors other than purple?▾
Yes, according to the manufacturer's description, the 'skeleton' design is also available in black and green, in addition to the purple variant in this set, with the same base specifications and diameter.
