Latex and Nitrile Disposable Tattoo Gloves FAQs
What makes disposable gloves specifically made for tattooing different from medical gloves?
Disposable gloves specifically made for tattooing are different from standard medical gloves in several ways. Tattooing gloves are typically made from durable and puncture-resistant materials, such as nitrile, to withstand the rigors of the tattooing process. They are often textured for better grip and designed to provide tactile sensitivity, allowing artists to have precise control during tattooing. Tattooing gloves also come in a variety of sizes to ensure a proper fit for artists, reducing hand fatigue and promoting comfort during long sessions.
How much backstock of tattooing gloves should I have as a new tattoo artist?
As a new tattoo artist, it's recommended to have a sufficient backstock of tattooing gloves to ensure uninterrupted workflow. Aim to have at least a few boxes or packages of gloves readily available. The amount of backstock will depend on factors such as your client volume and how frequently you reorder supplies. Regularly monitor your glove usage and restock as needed to avoid running out. It's better to have a surplus initially to prevent any delays in your tattooing practice.
Which disposable gloves are best for PMU?
When it comes to choosing disposable gloves for permanent makeup (PMU), nitrile gloves are often recommended. Nitrile gloves are latex-free, reducing the risk of latex allergies for clients and artists. They provide a strong and durable barrier while offering excellent tactile sensitivity, allowing for precise and detailed work during PMU procedures. It's important to select high-quality nitrile gloves that fit well and provide a comfortable and secure fit to ensure optimal performance during PMU applications.
When should you not use nitrile gloves?
While nitrile gloves are commonly used in tattooing, there are some situations where they may not be the best choice. Nitrile gloves may not be suitable for individuals with known allergies or sensitivities to nitrile material. Additionally, in certain situations where extra dexterity or tactile sensitivity is required, such as intricate and detailed tattoo work, artists may opt for gloves made from alternative materials that provide better flexibility and sensitivity. It's important to consider the specific needs of the tattooing process and choose gloves accordingly.
Is there a big difference between nitrile & latex gloves?
Yes, nitrile and latex gloves are different. Nitrile gloves are made from a synthetic rubber material called nitrile, while latex gloves are made from natural rubber latex. Nitrile gloves are known for their durability, resistance to punctures, and suitability for individuals with latex allergies. Latex gloves provide excellent flexibility and sensitivity but can cause allergic reactions in those with latex sensitivities. The choice between nitrile and latex gloves depends on individual preferences and considerations such as allergies and intended use.
Are nitrile gloves good for sensitive skin?
Nitrile gloves are generally considered a good option for individuals with sensitive skin. They are latex-free, reducing the risk of allergic reactions for those with latex allergies. Nitrile gloves provide a barrier that protects the skin from direct contact with potential irritants or allergens. They are also less likely to cause irritation or dryness compared to certain other glove materials. However, it's important to note that sensitivity can vary from person to person, so it's always recommended to test the gloves and consult with a healthcare professional if you have specific concerns about skin sensitivity.
What can damage nitrile gloves?
Nitrile tattoo gloves can be damaged by various factors. Sharp objects, rough surfaces, or abrasive materials can puncture or tear the gloves. Certain chemicals, solvents, or oils can also degrade the integrity of nitrile gloves over time. Extended exposure to high temperatures or direct sunlight can cause the material to deteriorate. It's important to handle nitrile tattoo gloves with care, avoid contact with harmful substances, and follow proper storage guidelines to prevent damage and ensure their effectiveness during tattooing.
Do the Jet Black Supply disposable gloves have a textured surface?

The textured surface provides enhanced grip and improved tactile sensitivity, making it easier to handle tattooing and piercing instruments with precision. The texture helps to reduce slippage and ensures a secure grip, even when working with wet or slippery conditions.
