Disposable pen grips

[joelhague]

About the best you can get with the hawk pen style ones is if you take it apart you can completely unscrew the orange part underneath the grip (its a bitch the first time might need some tools I used two pairs of vice grips with electrical tape to protect the metal) from the machine body then you can spray cavicide directly into it without worrying about it leaking into the motor. Use a q tip and swab it out submerege it in cavi. So you can atleast do a better job then just wiping it down it's not perfect but if you use the hawk pen I recommend disassembling the orange piece under the grip after every tattoo. But always use a cartridge with membrane and never touch the backside of the cartridge with dirty gloves . Use a disposable cart grip. Keep the cartridge needles in a separate area of the work space. Just take all of those steps and you will be ahead of a lot of other people . Or get something like the xion that is very easy to take apart and clean
