Today we're introducing the German-made "Cheyenne Cartridge Needle". As one of the most famous manufacturers in the industry, it is very popular both in Japan and overseas due to its high quality and the convenience of its cartridges.
This time, we'll introduce the diverse lineup of "Cheyenne Cartridge Needles," including the popular "Safety Cartridges," the transparent "Clear Craft Version," and the latest "Capillary Variant."
What are "Cheyenne Safety Cartridges"?
Introduced in 2007, "Cheyenne Safety Cartridges" form the foundation of all tattoo needle cartridge systems and revolutionized the tattoo industry. Traditionally, artists would have needed to prepare a separate coil or rotary machine for each tattooing style, but with the advent of cartridges, this became unnecessary.
The biggest advantage is that a single tattoo machine can handle various styles, including liner, power liner, shader, magnum, soft edge magnum, and flat.
While making it easy to change these needles, Cheyenne also implemented a mechanism to 'prevent ink and blood contained in the cartridge from adhering to the grip or machine.'
Cheyenne's Endeavor
Cheyenne donates a portion of the revenue from each box of 20 Safety Cartridges sold to Sea Shepherd, a non-profit organization.
Cheyenne Clear Craft Cartridges
"Cheyenne Clear Craft Cartridges" are simple yet transparent, with a luxurious finish. They are easy to use cartridge needles that are simple to change.
What sets "Craft" apart from "Safety" is its simple and sophisticated design, crafted from medical-grade plastic.
Designed to withstand continuous needle movement within the tip, they prevent plastic fragments from breaking off and being released into the client's skin.
Cheyenne Capillary Cartridges
Cheyenne Capillary Cartridges are products that have been improved upon "Craft" and "Safety" by renowned tattoo artists.
The inside of the tip features a thin tube with an ink reservoir. This allows it to absorb and hold more tattoo ink than conventional products. As a result, the ink flow lasts up to 10 times longer than usual, enabling you to concentrate on finishing your best work.
Even with a large magnum configuration, the tattoo ink is designed to be evenly distributed to all individual needles. This ensures reliable and faster filling, resulting in less trauma to the skin.
Mixing Colors within the Cartridge
However, one concern is "color mixing within the cartridge." Cheyenne states that there are "no problems" and that it's "very easy to clean with just water."
Furthermore, an attractive feature is the colored caps, which make it easy to identify the needle configuration during the tattooing process.
