Tattoo Cartridges with Membrane for Hygiene and Backflow Prevention
Every R&G Bio cartridge comes with a silicone membrane built into the plunger. It seals the gap between the needle tip and your machine grip, so ink, blood, and tissue fluid can’t flow back into your equipment.
Membrane cartridges are the industry standard now for good reason. The seal keeps cross-contamination risk down and your machine internals stay cleaner over time. Less gunk in the grip means fewer repairs and a longer working life.
We build this into every type we make—round liners, round shaders, magnums, curved magnums, flats, and PMU needles. Same protection regardless of what you’re running. Every cartridge gets EO gas sterilized, carries a batch number for full traceability, and is manufactured in ISO Class 7 cleanrooms under ISO 13485.
We also support full OEM and ODM customization, including housing colors, private labeling, and packaging solutions tailored to your brand.

Membrane vs. Regular Cartridges
How the Safety Membrane Works
🔬 Membrane Structure
Inside each cartridge, there’s a silicone membrane built into the plunger. The needle moves up and down, the membrane flexes with it, and the seal stays intact the whole time.
That seal splits the cartridge into two sections. The front end is where the needle hits skin and ink lives. The back end connects to your machine grip. If any fluid tries to push back up the tube, the membrane catches it. Your equipment stays clean.
Why Membrane Cartridges Are Essential
Prevents Cross-Contamination: Blocks blood, ink, and tissue fluids from entering the machine grip and contacting subsequent clients
Protects Equipment: Prevents corrosive ink and biological fluids from damaging internal machine components
Reduces Cleaning Time: Machine grips stay cleaner, reducing post-session sterilization workload
Ensures Consistent Performance: Prevents ink buildup that can cause needle sticking or inconsistent flow
Meets Regulatory Standards: Required by health authorities in most jurisdictions for professional tattooing
Client Confidence: Demonstrates commitment to hygiene and safety best practices
