Frequently Asked Questions
Are these foam cups suitable for cleaning any type of tattoo needle?
Yes. Disposable foam cups are designed for all types of needles, including cartridges, traditional needles, liners, shaders, and magnums. The foam adapts easily to the tip and allows for effective cleaning without damaging the needle or altering its performance during the session.
Is the foam pre-sterilized and safe for professional use in a tattoo studio?
Yes. The foam is hypoallergenic, safe, and suitable for professional use, ideal for tattoo studios that follow good hygiene practices. Being disposable, it drastically reduces the risk of cross-contamination and helps maintain a more controlled and clean work environment.
Do I need to use water, green soap, or another liquid in the lather?
Yes, it is recommended to moisten the foam with sterilized water, green soap, or another common cleaning liquid. The combination of liquid and foam allows for quick and even removal of paint residue, without splashing or the need for spraying.
Do these cups really help prevent color mixing during tattooing?
They help a lot. The foam effectively absorbs residual ink from the needle, allowing for cleaner and more precise color changes. This reduces errors, saves time, and improves control over the final result, especially in multi-color or gradient work.
