A tattoo grip is the cylindrical sleeve that sits between the cartridge and your tattoo machine, giving you a steady, comfortable hold while you tattoo. Modern professional tattoo grips are disposable, individually wrapped and sterile, available in different diameters to suit your hand and style. True Gent disposable grips fit all standard cartridge tattoo machines and ship with free UK next-day delivery on orders over £99.

Professional tattoo artists use disposable grips on tattoo machines because they remove autoclave time, eliminate cross-contamination risk between clients and keep your station fully single-use. Disposable tattoo grips arrive sterile and pre-wrapped, snap onto any standard cartridge machine in seconds, and bin straight after the session alongside the cartridge, the modern hygiene standard in UK tattoo studios.

Most professional tattoo artists use a 25mm to 30mm disposable cartridge grip for general tattooing, with 35mm preferred by artists who want a chunkier hold for longer sessions or larger pieces. Memory foam, silicone and ribbed plastic finishes are all common, the right choice comes down to hand size, session length and personal feel. True Gent stocks the most popular pro grip sizes alongside disposable tattoo cartridges.

Choose a tattoo grip by matching diameter to your hand and style, thinner 22 to 25mm grips give fine control for liners and detail, thicker 30 to 35mm grips reduce hand fatigue on long colour and shading sessions. Make sure the grip is compatible with cartridge needle systems if you tattoo with cartridges, and confirm it is sterile, individually wrapped and disposable for full hygiene. All True Gent disposable grips fit standard professional tattoo machines.
