Tattoo Cartridge
Category: art
A disposable, self-contained needle unit that snaps onto a rotary tattoo machine.
Cartridges have revolutionized studio safety. They contain a built-in safety membrane that prevents blood and ink from flowing back into the tattoo machine, reducing the risk of cross-contamination compared to older tube-and-bar needle systems.
Common Examples
- Using an all-in-one tattoo cartridge system ensures that each client receives a fresh, sterilized needle setup for every session.
- The internal membrane in the tattoo cartridge acts as a safety barrier against potential blood-borne pathogen backflow.
