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

  1. 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.
  2. Place the cap on the holder or directly on the work surface — the ribbed base provides sufficient stability even without a holder.
  3. Pour ink up to a maximum of two-thirds of the cap's height to prevent spillage when dipping the needle.
  4. Use the 12mm diameter for lining, moderate shading, or detail work; for large fill areas, a larger diameter may be needed.
  5. Monitor the ink level and shade through the translucent walls of the cap, even though the base is black.
  6. If working with multiple ink colors simultaneously, you can combine caps of different colors to quickly distinguish them on the station.
  7. At the end, discard each used cap — it is not reused or sterilized for another client.
  8. 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.
Warning: The caps are single-use consumables: they are used for one client/one session and discarded immediately afterwards, regardless of how much ink remains — they are not washed or sterilized for reuse. Dispose of them according to your studio's waste protocol, respecting local hygiene regulations for materials that have been in contact with ink.

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.

Product description

50 pieces of 12mm caps Size: Ø12mm The 50-piece Skeleton plastic ink cap set in 12mm black combines elegant professional design with the superior stability provided by the skeleton-type ribbed base. The classic black color integrates perfectly into any professional tattoo studio aesthetic, providing a clean, sophisticated workstation appearance. The skeleton base with stabilization ribs firmly anchors each cap, virtually eliminating the risk of accidental ink tipping on the workstation. The 12mm diameter offers the complete versatility needed for lining, moderate shading and details, being the most used size in the industry. Upper walls allow ink color viewing through contrast with the black base. Quality plastic is chemically inert and compatible with all professional tattoo ink types. The 50-piece set ensures comfortable stock for multiple sessions. The choice of professionals who appreciate both the superior functionality of the skeleton design and the elegant aesthetics of the black color. The skeleton design was developed as a response to one of the most frequent frustrations of professional tattoo artists: accidental tipping of ink caps on the workstation, causing ink loss, session interruption and the need to clean the work surface. The stabilization ribs at the base increase contact surface with the work surface by up to 50%, and the geometry is calculated to maximize resistance to lateral forces. The plastic material is selected for mechanical strength and chemical inertness, ensuring it doesn't react with any type of professional tattoo ink including vegan, organic and REACH-compliant formulas. Frequently Asked Questions What's the difference between black and purple skeleton caps? The only difference is color. Technical specifications, material, size and skeleton design are identical. Color choice is purely aesthetic and personal preference. Doesn't the black color make ink viewing difficult? No, only the base is black. Upper walls are translucent, allowing ink color viewing. In fact, the contrast with the black base can make colors easier to identify. Are they suitable for studio photography? Yes, black skeleton caps look exceptionally good in studio photos and on social media. The professional, elegant appearance makes them popular among artists showcasing their work setup. Does the black material discolor during use? No, the black pigment in the plastic is stable and doesn't discolor in contact with inks or solutions. The cap maintains its color throughout use. Can they be combined with other skeleton cap colors? Yes, many artists combine black, purple and green skeleton caps to color-code different ink types or techniques. For example, black for black ink, purple for grey, green for colors. Do the skeleton ribs break after a while? No, the ribs are integrated into the cap structure and are as strong as the walls. The design has no weak points and maintains stability throughout use. Can they be used with silicone cap holders? Yes, but check that the holder holes are large enough for the skeleton base. Alternatively, skeleton caps stand excellently directly on the work surface thanks to the stabilized base. What ink quantity is recommended in the 12mm cap? Filling to maximum two-thirds height is recommended. This prevents spilling during needle dipping and allows uniform loading without contact with the edges. Is the 50-piece set enough for a convention weekend? Depends on session count. At 4-5 clients per day and an average of 3-4 caps per session, the 50-piece set covers 3-4 days of intensive work. Are they safe for use with vegan inks? Yes, the inert plastic doesn't react with any ink type including vegan, organic or REACH formulas. Universal compatibility is guaranteed by the material's chemical neutrality.
