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 - Polished Brass
Regular price$740.00 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. It is ergonomic, 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. The Mojobox is a great deliberate shader and can also be tuned for your lining needs.
Highlights:
Polished Brass Frame
Deluxe Blackened Hardware
Marked stroke dial so you can easily play with the stroke without fear of losing that sweet spot. There are three lines on the stroke wheel…shortest line is for shortest stroke / smaller groupings, the 3/4 line is middle of the road for medium stroke / medium to large groupings, full line is long stroke for large grouping work. You can’t make it too long or too short, play with it and find the right setting for the work you are doing.
Specifications:
Normal operating range: 5.3 - 6 volts for lining, 4 - 5.5 volts for shading. It is not recommended to exceed 7.
Excellent for fine line, black and grey, color packing.

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.

"Since working with Workhorse Irons, I have been given the opportunity to remaster my Revival machine, but being able to merge it into the platform of Adam Ciferri’s Ghostdog.
There have been many things I’ve learned from the original Revival, along with many more years experience with the compression spring/bearing pivot. Combine that with a superior magnetic circuit that Adam and Workhorse have dialed in, and you get something quite magical. We are very pleased with the performance, versatility, and ergonomics of this machine.
It’s functional voltage range starts at around 4.5 volts and keeps going up without chatter or excessive heat. With the engineering that went into the spring setup, the user does not have to settle for squishy nipples to prevent their springs from breaking.
This machine comes stock as a strong, medium speed liner (or fast shader) at around 105-110 cps loaded (about 125-130 cps unloaded). Because of the large voltage range, it is capable of all size needle groupings. (*the contact screw can be backed out to run in the 90 cps range as well). For a slappier, punchier hit, the backer spring under the contact spring can be removed.
I have put much attention into the weight distribution, to put the weight forward and low, providing superior stability, and preventing wrist fatigue.

Love the swift tip set up
Love the swift tip set up, works great. Stable and comfortable, plus easy clean up and less waste. I didn’t realize how much I missed the weight of a metal grip until I started using this system.
