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 - 9 to 18 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 larger round needle groupings.
I prefer it for my traditional 9 rounds up to 14. (It still has more room for a larger grouping but would more than likely be for a tight grouping or bug pin if in that 18 Round size.)
If using a tight 9, or 11, or in a bug pin configuration, I recommend the 5-11 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)

"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.
Originally released years ago, this classic Adam Hathorn (Honky Konger) design returns with an updated monochromatic color palette, oversized back print, and left chest WHI monogram.
Known for his work as a tattooer, illustrator, and the unmistakable visual style behind Benchwarmers, Adam created this custom Workhorse boxing horse as a tribute to the hardworking spirit that has always been at the core of the brand.
Equal parts tattoo culture, cartooning, and classic Honky Konger humor, it's a design that has remained a favorite for years and one we're excited to bring back.
Printed on Comfort Colors 1717 heavyweight t-shirts.
Made from garment-dyed ring-spun cotton with a relaxed fit and broken-in feel from day one. Comfortable enough for long days in the shop, the road, or wherever tattooing takes you.
