DK Swift Tips - 5 to 11 Round (Box of 24 Tips)
Regular price$28.00 USD
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!
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)

Stencil Stuff® was developed in 2005 by Professional Tattoo Artists who knew there had to be a better way to apply detailed, precision stencils and achieve longer lasting stencil artwork.
Stencil Stuff® is a creamy lotion that has been laboratory formulated and tested to be Non-Toxic and Safe for most skins!
Stencil Stuff® makes the transfer crisper, cleaner and sharper than using all other traditional methods and eliminates the possibility of cross-contamination.
Stencil Stuff® eliminates the need to bloodline or gray line. It also works exceptionally well if outlining is needed or desired.
If there is a need to remove the tattoo stencil for repositioning, it can be removed with our newest product Prep Stuff™ which is also a Skin Sanitizer to be used before you tattoo. Prep Stuff™ is a revolutionizing new product for prepping the skin prior to tattooing! It kills 99.9% of germs and microbes including staph without removing vital skin oils!
The original thermal copy tattoo stencil can be reapplied many times without the worry of using damaged stencils or having to make another.
One 8 oz. (236 ml) Bottle of Stencil Stuff® is $20.00 and will last approximately 4 - 6 months...only pennies per application.

Saniderm
Saniderm Tattoo Adhesive Film is a flexible, breathable, protective layer that allows for your tattoo to heal properly, while simultaneously eliminating the need to constantly avoid water, apply lotions, etc. With Saniderm, your client can go about her/his usual routine and still expect to have a sharp, vibrant, and fully healed tattoo.
Tips for Saniderm Tattoo Aftercare:
For maximum comfort, ensure skin is in a neutral position when applying Saniderm. When applying to elbows and knees, the joint should be in a neutral position — neither straight nor completely bent.
Shave, shave, shave. Peeling Saniderm off of hair is unpleasant. Shave the entire area, plus an additional inch all the way around the site of the tattoo.
Practice before you apply. If it's your first time using Saniderm, it may be a little tricky to work with. It doesn't hurt to practice with a small section first, just make sure you shave the area.
When cutting the bandage for application, remember that rounded corners provide the best adhesion.
It's okay, when using multiple Saniderm bandages, to overlap them by 1/2 inch (1 cm).
If using a glycerin soap, such as green soap, be sure to rinse thoroughly, as any residue will react with the adhesives and can cause binding and irritation. Avoid loofahs or scratchy wash cloths.
