We are thrilled to have Dan Kubin on our team working with us on various collaborative projects. It is an honor to represent his brand, to sell his machines and parts, as well as build his licensed models. Dan's goals and quality match the Workhorse ethos, providing the best tools to the craft of tattooing.
This is a new and convenient way to use standard needles with a metal grip to maintain the rigid feel and counterweight of a steel tube. If setup correctly, this system allows for a proper barrier from cross contamination without use of an autoclave. It is still recommended to wipe the grip with a sterilant between uses as you would your workstation.
Quick and easy setup for standard needle on bar use with much less vibration than standard disposable tubes. Less vibration means less harm to your hands, tendons, and overall body stress for greater longevity and health.
Utilizing a metal grip and small click in plastic tips, this system creates much less waste...about 95% less plastic than most disposable grips!

DK Offset Cartridge Grip!
The offset helps put the machine over the top of the user’s hand, making it more ergonomic and easier to keep the machine upright when pulling those large square looking lines.
TWO Versions Available:
Heavy Weight 1.25" BRASS Grip and Stainless Steel backstem (8oz)
Feather Weight 1.25" ALUMINUM Grip and Stainless Steel backstem (2.75oz)
Brass is heavier but absorbs vibration more and offsets the pull of a clip cord and or any ass end tattoo machine weight, balancing more over the hand
Aluminum is much lighter and pairs well with use of a battery to reduce overall weight. Balance is a bit better with the Brass version, but it is a tradeoff for weight.
Offset for better balance and visibility
Made of naturally anti-microbial Brass
Each Grip Comes with 5 pack of Cartridge Drive Bars
Please cover with barrier film for extra protection!

DK Swift Tips - 1 to 5 Round - Box of 24 Tips (Grip Not Included)
*Must be used with DK Swift Tip Grip
These tips have great visibility and come to a nice point. The biggest benefit is being able to see more needle even when you don't have a lot of needle hanging out.
The shape of the round tips is in between a round and a diamond. That said, it is the best of both worlds. It allows for maximum versatility and stability for a wider range of sizes.
This tip configuration is for your smaller round needle groupings.
I prefer it for my singles to 5's, and even tight or bug pin 7's.
These tips are hydrophobic and have an antimicrobial additive in them. That said, you may need to check with your local health dept for protocol on single use plastic products used in the tattooing process. (such as ink caps)
*Blister packaged tips coming soon

The shape of the mag tip allows for mor visibility at the end of the tip. The side wall is beveled back so there is no excess material on the edges. This allows for getting a more precise "cut in" near lines and tight spaces.
Fits 7 mags.

Dan Kubin Perfect Nipples
The Black Half Hard Nipples are Dan's most recent version of these custom made grommets, designed to be a little softer to help combat spitting issues some folks have, yet still stronger than standard nipples to hold up to the aggressive nature of hard hitting machines such as his Sidewinder.
The Red Full Hard Nipples are the OG Dan Kubin custom grommets made from the most durable rubber Dan could find. They are extra rigid providing a little more hit PLUS the strength to withstand the aggressive nature of Dan's machines. We are bringing these back again now as many people have requested them and know how to tattoo well with them with no spitting issues.
Both versions are custom MADE IN THE USA. These are the only Tattoo Nipples we know of that are made in the USA. Plus Dan's Thickass Rubbers are the only tattoo rubber bands offered that are made in the USA. It costs more to do this, and it is a bit more challenging, but worth it!
