Disposable Tubes

3 messages · last activity 4/23/2007

Hello all.. just had a question about disposables..... At the shop I currently work in we use stainless tubes...although im concerned about the difference in materials and weight I have been thinking of getting into disposables because if I were to travel I would prefer them over stainless because of the obvious advantages, I have had a few fellow artists recommend TTS' Lexan disposables, I was wondering if anyone had any experience with these or any for that matter....pros...cons? thanks for your time
Eternal tattoo supply sells some pretty decent disposable tubes some with large 1" grips and they are fairly inexpensive. Takes a while to get used to them but they are handy especially for travelling.
Pros: you dispose them after every tattoo. Good for applying white. Less risk of needle damage. Cons: lack of quality, weight, ugly or different sound, later or sooner you need to re order, they will occupy a lot of space if you are a busy shop.
