Complete guide: Set of 50 Black Plastic Caps 12mm
This set contains 50 plastic ink caps, 12mm in diameter, with a 'skeleton' design — a ribbed stabilizing base that holds them firmly on the station, not just placed loosely. The black base color combines with translucent upper walls, so you see the ink inside even though the base is opaque. They are designed for artists working on lining, moderate shading, and details, where 12mm is the most commonly used diameter in the industry. Being consumables, they are used once and discarded after the session.
How to use
- Prepare the disinfected work station; if using a cap holder, check that its holes are wide enough for the skeleton base, which is wider than that of a simple cap.
- Place the cap on the holder or directly on the work surface — the ribbed base provides sufficient stability even without a holder.
- Pour ink up to a maximum of two-thirds of the cap's height to prevent spillage when dipping the needle.
- Use the 12mm diameter for lining, moderate shading, or detail work; for large fill areas, a larger diameter may be needed.
- Monitor the ink level and shade through the translucent walls of the cap, even though the base is black.
- If working with multiple ink colors simultaneously, you can combine caps of different colors to quickly distinguish them on the station.
- At the end, discard each used cap — it is not reused or sterilized for another client.
- Clean and disinfect the work surface after removing the caps.
Tips from us
- Choose the diameter suitable for your technique: 12mm covers lining, moderate shading, and details — the most versatile size in the range.
- Do not fill the cap beyond two-thirds of its height to avoid ink spilling on the station.
- Take advantage of the stable skeleton base even without a holder, if you work on a flat surface.
- Visually code inks by cap color if you frequently use multiple shades in the same session.
- Check the size of the silicone holder holes before using it with these caps, so the skeleton base fits well.
- Keep sufficient stock for scheduled sessions — a set of 50 typically covers a few days of work, depending on the number of clients and caps used per session.
Frequently asked questions
Can the ink caps be reused for multiple clients?▾
No — they are single-use consumables. They are used for one client/one session and discarded afterwards, regardless of how much ink remains, to comply with the studio's hygiene protocol.
Which diameter should I choose for my technique?▾
The 12mm ones in this set are the most commonly used size in the industry — suitable for lining, moderate shading, and detail work. For large areas or heavy shading on extended zones, a larger diameter cap may be needed.
Why are they black at the base, but I can still see the ink color?▾
Only the base of the cap is black; the upper walls are translucent, so you can see the ink level and shade through them. The contrast with the black base can even help quickly identify colors.
How much ink should I pour into a 12mm cap?▾
It is recommended to fill them to a maximum of two-thirds of the height. This prevents spillage when dipping the needles and ensures even loading without contact with the cap edges.
Do they fit in silicone cap holders?▾
Generally yes, but check beforehand that the support holes are wide enough for the skeleton base, which is wider than that of a simple cap. Alternatively, the ribbed base sits stable directly on the work surface without a holder.
Are they compatible with all types of ink, including vegan or organic ones?▾
Yes — the plastic used is chemically inert, so it does not react with professional tattoo inks, regardless of the formula.
