Frequently Asked Questions

How do cartridge grips help with tattooing?

Cartridge grips are an essential tool for tattoo artists of all types. They add convenience for the artist while also making the tattooing process safer for everyone involved. Using a grip gives the artist a larger area to hold the machine, which means a more secure grip and better control over their lines. It also means less strain on the hand, including from vibration, allowing the artist to tattoo for longer with less fatigue.Cartridge grips make cartridge swapping simple while minimizing the risk of cross-contamination and backflow of both blood and ink. 

Are cartridge grips reusable?

Sometimes, yes. Both reusable and single-use cartridge grips are commonly used by artists today. Both are great options, though they have different uses. Reusable grips are cost-effective over time, as a single grip can last for hundreds of hours of tattooing. However, they also need to be meticulously cleaned, usually with an autoclave or an ultrasonic machine. On the other hand, single-use, disposable grips are convenient and guarantee sterility, as they come in sterile packaging and don't need to be handled or cleaned before use. 

Do cartridge grips fit every machine?

Many cartridge grips are designed to fit a wide variety of tattoo machines on today's market. However, grips are not universal, and some companies' grips are intended for use only with specific machines. If you're not sure about compatibility with your tattoo machine, look at the machine's documentation or verify compatibility on the manufacturer's website. Sometimes, even universal grips fit better on some machines than others, so test each grip on your desired machine before starting a session to ensure a quality fit. 

What is the difference between cartridge grips and tubes?

Tubes are used with traditional needle setups, where the needle bar threads through the tube, which channels ink flow and attaches to a separate grip for comfort and control. Cartridge grips, on the other hand, are designed for cartridge-compatible machines, where the cartridge clicks directly into the grip as a single self-contained unit. No separate tube is needed.

How do I choose what size cartridge grip I should use?

The ideal size of a cartridge grip depends almost entirely on an artist's preferences and what they find most comfortable. Choosing the right grip is important because it helps minimize fatigue and discomfort throughout an artist's day. They can range from 20mm on the smaller side to 35mm on the larger side. Consider hand size when deciding. Smaller grips are suited for smaller hands and are a great option for fine lines and other detailed work. Medium grips are versatile and can be used for both shading and linework. The largest grips are typically reserved for color-packing.
