Killer Ink Stellar Cartridges

The Killer Ink Stellar Needle Cartridges are high-quality cartridges that contain precision soldered needles at a great price.

The needles within the Stellar Cartridges are enclosed in a single capsule, made from a super strong polycarbonate material, which allows the needles to effortlessly glide without causing wear and tear. In addition, the housings of the cartridges are transparent, offering maximum visibility of the needles and ink flow within.

Each Killer Ink Stellar Cartridge comes fitted with a secure membrane to ensure that no ink or blood can leak through into the grip.

Killer Ink Stellar Needle Cartridges are available in various configurations, including Round Liners, Round Shaders, Magnums, Soft-Edge Magnums, and Flats. The Round Liners and Round Shaders are fitted with a special stabiliser to stop the needles from wobbling, making them perfect for stable, accurate work.

Make sure to also whip your tattoos into shape with the Killer Ink Stellar Whip Shading Magnums! These clever cartridges are comprised of groups of 3 RL in configurations of 3 or 6, complete with a special stabiliser to prevent the needle from wobbling and making them ideal for techniques such as whip shading and stippling.

You can also go big or go home with the Killer Ink Stellar Large Magnum Cartridges! Our very own high-quality needle cartridges with precision-soldered needles now come in needle groupings between 29 and 49 pins in both Soft Edge and Weaved Magnum configurations.

PEAK Triton Cartridges

Orange is the new black with the range of PEAK Triton needle cartridges!

Utilising its US-patented linear technology, PEAK has created high-quality tattoo cartridges that feature a unique plunger ball to help stabilise the needles within and prevent wobbling. This makes them perfect for crisp bold outlines and saturated colour packing alike.

Super-sharp, 316L surgical steel needles are housed within a bright orange, medical-grade plastic housing (so you won’t lose them on your workstation!) and come with a full safety membrane to prevent backflow.

Cheyenne Capillary Cartridges

Cheyenne cartridges are some of the best and most widely-used in the tattooing industry and now the German manufacturer has taken the evolution of its needle cartridges one step further.

Introducing the Cheyenne Capillary Cartridges, have all the qualities that you have come to expect from Cheyenne, while offering tattoo artists a new and improved working experience.

Inside the tip of the cartridge are capillaries with ink reservoirs, which allow these Cheyenne cartridges to absorb and hold more tattoo ink than conventional cartridges. The result is an ink flow that lasts up to 10 times longer than usual before needing to be dipped into your ink cap.

The Cheyenne Capillary Cartridges ensure that tattoo ink is evenly distributed on all individual needles, even in large magnum configurations. This ensures better tattooing results and less trauma to the skin, as surfaces are filled consistently, reliably and more quickly.

Cheyenne’s Capillary Cartridges are available to order in the following configurations: Liner, Shader, Magnum, Soft-Edge Magnum, Open Liner, and Power Liner.

Cheyenne Clear Craft Cartridges

The Cheyenne Clear Craft Cartridges have been updated by the brand to now feature a colourless, transparent housing for a clearer view of the ink flow within.

In addition, Cheyenne has slightly adapted the shape of its Clear Craft Cartridges with grooves and a sleeker shape to support handling when changing cartridges and during tattooing.

What sets the Cheyenne Clear Crafts apart from other needle cartridges is the simplified design. The tips are made from a single mould of medical-grade plastic and are designed to withstand the continuous movement of the needles, ensuring that they will not break up and release small bits of plastic into your client's skin.

Cheyenne’s Clear Craft Cartridges also feature an internal safety membrane that will protect your machine and client by stopping any fluids moving up and down the tip.

The Clear Craft Cartridges are compatible with cartridge grips and machines that accept Cheyenne-type needle cartridges and come in one of four configurations: Liner, Shader, Magnum, and Soft-Edge Magnum.
