CAN I OUTLINE WITH TRUE TUBES?

Yes you can! True Tube is the easiest disposable tube out there to line with.

Relying on it’s metal tip to reduce friction and allow your tattoo machine to run at the intended speed you wish to line at.

No plastic to slow your needle down results in a perfect line!



WILL TRUE TUBES MAKE MY MACHINE RUN ANY DIFFERENT?

True Tube’s metal tips are sealed tightly into the high quality plastic grip and do not twist, turn or move in any way.

Your needles and machines work at their “True” speed because of the lack of friction with the metal tip.

 

Stronger, thicker backstem allows no flex in backstem while tattooing.

 

WHAT IS 304L STAINLESS STEEL?

Finally a disposable tube that runs like a steel tube!

304L stainless steel has a high resistance to corrosion and lends itself to many types of fabrication, making it one of the safest and most widely used forms of stainless steel used today.

304L stainless steel is what True Tube uses for all of it's metal tips, the highest quality metal.

WHAT MAKES TRUE TUBES THE MOST WELL BALANCED DISPOSABLE TUBE?

True Tube fulcrum point is centered more towards the tip, creating a greater forward weight, therefore balancing the tattoo machine in the artists hand better.

The forward pivot point of Ture Tube results in a better balanced tube allowing the tattoo artist to have more overall control.

I DON'T HAVE TO TATTOO PLASTICS INTO THE SKIN ANY LONGER?

Deep grooves in steel tips are created by needle movement and friction making it evident that a softer plastic surface will wear down even faster.

The result is that small amounts of plastic are shaved away with tattoo needles and are injected into the skin.



WHAT ARE THE 1" TEXTURED BLACK GRIPS MADE OF?

True Tube grips are made of high quality ABS compressed black polymers.

Black textured grips are comfortable in the artists hands.

Grips are 1" in diameter, textured and easy to handle.

DISPOSING OF YOUR TRUE TUBES PROPERLY:

You can find a recycling company near your studio here.

You can find sharps removal companies near you here.

 

Unfortunately, there are many items that a tattoo artist uses daily during a single tattoo procedure that are considered to be somewhat unfriendly to the earth and environmentally unsafe. This is definitely a concern for generations of tattoo artists to come. Many of these items like plastic cups, plastic/ nylon caps, machine bags and bottle covers, clip cord covers, excessive inks, rubber bands, petroleum ointments and medical tape to name just a few. There are many other items used everyday in tattoo studios that are eco-unfriendly as well including, latex gloves, used needles and needle bars, cold sterilization spray chemicals for counter tops that get disposed of in the trash, tube sterilization bags with plastic fronts, steel and plastic from razor blades each client, not to mention the tools and chemicals that are used in a studio’s sterilization rooms that are typically poured down the drain and back into the environment, also the cardboard packaging all of these materials arrive in are considered bi-product waste.

Disposing of True Tubes and other disposable tubes should be done properly as stated on the packaging and our website under FAQ's. Some artists are more environmentally aware and others are more concerned about tossing dirty materials in the trash, either way it's every artist’s duty to handle their practices professionally and responsibly, not matter what tools, chemicals or bi-products are used. It's up to each and every tattoo artist to maintain their personal level of safety, awareness and proper handling of their used instruments.

 

If one is concerned about recycling their True Tubes and they do not want to throw away metal and plastic in the trash, then their best option would be to contact the recommended recycling company below to have the disposable tattoo tubes removed and/or recycled. There are numerous companies that provide these services worldwide.

If an artist is more concerned with disposing of the tubes in a sterile manner, there are many waste management companies that service thousands of studios worldwide. Not only is it a good practice for any studio to have a professional sharps removal company, it’s easy to include your used True Tubes into your sharps container as all sharps materials are Recycled Medical Waste anyways. Be sure to contact the recommended waste removal company below or contact a local company to you to have your disposable tattoo tubes removed properly as with other disposable materials around your studio..
