Disposable grips and tubes have several advantages, such as saving time on autoclaving, fostering client trust since you are using fresh tubes on them, and saving money on autoclave supplies and sterilization pouches.

The practice's stainless-steel tubes are hand washable. To get rid of lingering ink, use a cleaning brush set designed for tattoo tips. Before using stainless steel tubes for skin work, they MUST undergo autoclaving.
Disposable Tattoo Tube Grips
Disposable tattoo tube grips are single-piece sets that include the grip, tip, and tube. They are pre-sterilized in tattoo supply. The most practical and easy way to make sure your tube grip is sterile is to use a disposable one. In a three-piece tube, grip, and tip setup, there is always a chance that one of the pieces will become contaminated. With a single sterile piece ready for use, disposable tube grips remove that concern.
Various Metal Grips and Stainless Steel Grips
Stainless steel, copper, aluminum, plastic, and numerous other metals are used to make grips. Typically, grips include a stem or tube. The tattoo artist uses the grip as a handle to hold the tattoo machine. The tube tip inserts into a hole in the base of the grip. Using the base's tightening screw, you tighten the tip. The top stem is the same. Before they are suitable to use for tattooing, grips need to be autoclaved.
