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 Swift Tips - 5 to 11 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 medium round needle groupings.
I prefer it for my straight 5 rounds up to straight 9RL, or a tight or bug pin 11 Round. (if using a traditional 11 Round, I recommend the 9-18 size)
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)
Dan Kubin Mojobox V2.2 - Black x Gold Featherweight
Regular price$850.00 USD
Dan Kubin Mojobox V2.2
Newly remastered, this is the 2nd variant of the 2nd generation of the Mojobox. New spring setup that enhances performance, punch, adjustability, and makes it more cartridge friendly!
Now with more versatility and ease of hit adjustment throughout the tattoo. It is more ergonomic, more reliable, and most of all, more performance focused than its predecessor. It is a punchy coil like machine with the reliability and ergonomics of a rotary.
Highlights:
Featherweight Aluminum Frame with Black HD Anodized Finish
24k Gold Plated Parts
Marked stroke dial so you can easily play with the stroke without fear of losing that sweet spot. You can’t make it too long or too short
Specifications:
Normal operating range: 5.3 - 6 volts for lining, 4 - 5.5 volts for shading.
Excellent for fine line, black and grey, color packing with any size mag.
Can drive 14 liners, if you prefer to “set the needle into the skin”
Intended for standard needle on bar. For cartridges, you may use a rubber band to negate the tension by pulling the rubber band over the top of the armature. Needle on bar will have more hit and cartridges will be slightly subdued and less aggressive, which is the nature of a cartridge.
Weight: 2.95 oz
Made in the USA!

A few words from Adam about this machine: "The Ghost Dog Liner is set up to make solid single pass outlines with ease. Weighing in at a mere 6 ounces, this is a machine that punches way above it's weight class. Perfect for tattooers who like the weight of a rotary machine but prefer the feel and performance of a coil machine" -Respectfully, Adam C.
Highlights:
CNC Cut Iron with the highest precision and care
Custom Olive Green 1" Keg Coil
Custom Plateau Green Powder Coat Finish
Deluxe Workhorse Blackened Hardware
Specifications:
Tuned for all-day, every-day street shop and/or custom tattooing
Medium/Quick Speed with a Solid hit that easily pushes 5's to 13's...also able to push very large groupings if you bump the volts up a bit
Step up your tattoo game with the new DK MCi – a plug-and-play remastered version of Dan's Mini Cranker from 2011. Updated and refined, it's designed for precision and ease of use, whether you're using a needle on bar or cartridges. With its wide range of versatility and solid hit, it's a must-have for any tattoo artist.
Highlights:
Steel Frame with 24k Gold Plated Frame and Hardware
Weighted Brass Armature
Deluxe Kubin Components including DK Thumbs and updated Slide Vise
Great for Lining and Shading with small to medium groupings, turn voltage up and down for speed and hit adjustment as needed
Higher voltage between 5 - 7 Volts for most Lining
Lower Voltage between 3.5 - 5 Volts for most Shading, Color Packing, and Stipple Work
Setup / Specifications:
Works well with Standard Needle on Bar AND with Cartridges
Possible to run with Cartridges without any adjustment or tricks, but if you pull your rubber band over the armature it will increase the snap at the tip
This machine is cartridge friendly, but best to use lower tension cartridges if going that route. (Workhorse Eco Carts and Non Membrane Carts work well with these machines)
Polarity is not crucial, but will run slightly more efficiently with Positive Down
The impact screw can be backed off all the way, but ideal to still have a little impact to reduce motor shaft strain
Turning the impact screw in too much will result in stalling the machine or putting too much strain on the motor.
Ideal impact is about 1/4-1/2 turn clockwise from the point of zero impact.
Use and Care:
Please refer to the MCi setup video on my YouTube channel for further clarification - See Link Below
After a few years, the bearings may dry up. You may use A SINGLE DROP of sewing machine oil on the bearings. DO NOT FILL THE MOTOR WITH OIL!!
Keep sterilants away from all moving and electrical components! Sterilants are corrosive and will damage your machine if used carelessly.

These are rad disposables
These are rad disposables. First couple of times seem a bit tedious. After you get comfy, they're super easy & efficient. The brass back stem is key. No unnatural flex. Highly recommend.
