Black Claw is proud to be the new home of Afterlife,
the industry leader in independent tattoo publishing
showcasing the artist, art and philosophy of tattooing
with visionary curation and exploration.
1/2mm thin wall design provides unmatched precision, feels like the needle is directly connected to your hand
Molded cork grip helps absorb vibration and serves as a renewable resource over plastic.
Includes a cork shelf off the back end for additional hand support. It serves to bridge the gap between grip and machine, providing comfort & control, keeping the weight more forward with less effort exerted to keep the machine balanced.
Shelf is pre-cut for easy removal, should it not sit well on your machine, which occured with some rotaries we tested.
Memory foam grips provide unmatched comfort and will not become slippery when wet.
We have designed the tubes to err on the larger side of fitting the corresponding grouping as we feel ink flow is paramount.
Great!!!!

The best needles and the best disposable tubes.
I like them very much

I like them very much . I just wish the cork extender on the back of the tube was a little shorter. The way it sits now it's too long on my tube now and when I snap it off it makes the barrel sit too far off my machine so it feels as if the machine is hoovering above my hand. But that is just a personal preference. All and all though I like them better than my plastic tubes.
Love them!

Bought these for my 9mag bugpins, definitely should have bought 9M tubes, but these work well for true 7mag needles. Buying more ASAP!

Just tried the new Real Steel tubes, they're definitely a game changer for sure! Love the feel of a super light grip with the steadiness of steel! Amazing!!
FULL TILT, NO GUILT

I’ve toyed with the idea of disposable tubes over the past year but I couldn’t bring myself to toss more plastic at the earth. This is the solution this industry has needed for a very long time. Steel tubes that allow you to run your machines like you would with autoclavable stainless tubes. Yet feel all right about disposing of them knowing that you’re not creating an intense amount of unnecessary, non-biodegradable waste.
Bombastic tube styles!

Man I can’t believe how great these tubes are. Superior ink flow, super comfortable grips, insanely consistent. I don’t want ever want to use those cheap ass plastic tubes again. Thank you guys for caring so much about tattooing and making my job easier.
