KYŌDAI FLEX-TIP Brush Pen 

The Kyodai Brush Pen, also known as a fudepen (筆ペン), combines surgical-grade pigment with the flow and control of traditional fudepens. Its brush-like tip glides effortlessly across skin, giving artists smoother ink flow, better coverage, and precise control for calligraphy, freehand stencils, or detailed linework.

The FLEX-TIP brush pen mimics the flexibility and versatility of an artist's paintbrush. Its tapered, flexible bristles make it responsive to pressure variations allowing for varying line widths and expressive strokes. Popular among tattooers for calligraphy, illustrating, and stylized dynamic lines. The brush tip's adaptability enables both fine details and broader lines, providing artists with a versatile tool for creative expression.

New DK Swift Tip System!  

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! 

• 1" Brass Grip for use with DK Swift Tips

• Simply bag grip with designated bag and click Swift Tip into bagged grip for an improved tattoo experience

• 95% Less Plastic Waste than Disposable Plastic Tubes

• If bagged properly there is no reason to autoclave the grip

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)
