Tattoo Cartridges with Membrane for Hygiene and Backflow Prevention
R&G Bio manufactures membrane-equipped tattoo cartridges for distributors, studio chains and private-label brands worldwide. A medical-grade silicone membrane is built into every plunger, sealing the path between the needle and the machine grip — so ink, blood and tissue fluid never reach your customer’s equipment.
For B2B buyers, the membrane is no longer an option — it is the specification studios, health inspectors and regulators expect. Every R&G Bio configuration — round liners, round shaders, magnums, curved magnums, flats and PMU needles — is available membrane-equipped, so your entire cartridge line can standardize on one safety standard.
Every cartridge is EO gas sterilized, batch-coded for full traceability, and produced in ISO Class 7 cleanrooms under an ISO 13485 quality system. Review our certifications and compliance documents and see how we manufacture before you place a bulk order.
We support full OEM/ODM programs — housing colors, private labeling and custom packaging built around your brand, with factory-direct MOQs and tiered wholesale pricing.

Membrane vs. No-Membrane 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

Where Membrane Cartridges Work Best
Studios in Health-Inspected Markets
Membrane cartridges are the default specification for professional studios across the EU, UK and North America, where hygiene inspection standards make backflow protection non-negotiable.
PMU & Cosmetic Tattoo Work
In permanent makeup, pigment backflow into the grip is a real contamination path. The membrane seal protects both the client and the machine — essential for cosmetic procedures.
Academies & High-Turnover Studios
Where many artists share equipment every day, cross-contamination control must be built into every session. Membrane cartridges make that standard automatic, not optional.
