Metal tips made of surgical steel are the robust alternative to disposable products and impress with their durability and precision. These high-quality tattoo tips offer you maximum control and are ideal for professional tattoo work.
The advantages of surgical steel metal tips
Surgical steel metal tips have established themselves as indispensable tools in the tattoo industry. The high-quality medical stainless steel guarantees absolute corrosion resistance and a smooth surface that can be sterilized optimally. Compared to disposable tips, metal tips offer significantly better weight balance, which is particularly advantageous during longer tattoo sessions. The precise workmanship ensures a perfect fit for the tattoo needles and minimizes vibrations during work.
Perfect fit for various grips
The metal tattoo tip made of surgical steel is available in various sizes and fits most common grips. The standardized threads ensure a secure connection and prevent unintentional loosening during work. The advantages of the stable metal construction are particularly evident when used with high-quality tattoo machines.
Hygiene and care of metal tips made of surgical steel
Hygienic preparation is particularly important for surgical steel metal tips. After each use, the tips must be thoroughly cleaned and sterilized. The medical-grade stainless steel allows sterilization in autoclaves at high temperatures without damaging the material. For daily cleaning, we recommend using ultrasonic devices in combination with special cleaning solutions.
Proper storage for long shelf life
After sterilization, the metal tips should be stored in a dry place protected from dust. Sterile packaging or special storage boxes protect against contamination and maintain the quality of the material. At Body Cult, you will find the right accessories for the professional storage of your high-quality tattoo tools.
Choosing the right metal tip
Various factors play a role in choosing the right surgical steel metal tip. The length of the tip affects the visibility of the needle tip and thus the precision of your work. Shorter tips are particularly suitable for detailed work, while longer versions offer advantages for large-scale work. The weight of the metal tattoo tip should match the machine used and your personal working style.
