Frequently Asked Questions
What are biodegradable tattoo ink cups made from?
These cups are made from a plant-based wheat straw material designed to reduce reliance on traditional plastics.
Are biodegradable ink cups as strong as plastic ones?
Yes, they are firm and stable enough for everyday professional use, with a solid base to help prevent tipping or collapsing.
Which size should I choose, 15 mm or 27 mm?
The 15 mm large cups are ideal for smaller amounts of colour, fine line work or small pieces, while the 27 mm extra large cups are better for large-scale work or heavy black and grey sessions.
Do these cups work with standard ink cup holders?
Yes, the base fits most standard ink cup holders and can also be used directly on a flat, covered workstation surface.
How should I dispose of biodegradable tattoo ink cups?
Dispose of used cups with your usual contaminated waste according to local regulations; the material is designed to break down more readily than conventional plastic once processed.
Can I mix different colours in the same cup?
For best results and hygiene, it is recommended to use separate cups for each colour and replace them as needed during the session.
