• After each tattooing session, safely remove the used grip and cartridge needle from the machine.
• Dispose of the used grip and needle according to local regulations for biohazardous waste.
• Do not attempt to clean, re-sterilize, or reuse disposable grips.

7. Troubleshooting

7.1 Cartridge Needle Not Seating Properly or Getting Stuck

• Ensure you are using a compatible cartridge needle.
• Verify the grip is correctly and fully attached to the tattoo machine.
