Workhorse Large O-Rings

Ideal for use on the rear of an Armature Bar to dampen the hit and remove excess chatter. Softer than standard Buna-N O-rings for a better seal in low-pressure applications, these are also resilient and offer excellent tear resistance. They resist hydraulic oils and motor oil. These O-rings have a round profile and are suitable for a wide range of static and dynamic sealing applications.

3/8 ID, 9/16 OD. 50A Soft Durometer.

Available in 10 packs or 100 packs.

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!
