Elephant® Hygiene Products
Proper hygiene has always been the basis of the professional work of a tattoo artist. The Elephant® brand offers a number of hygiene products that will help you to maintain professional hygiene in the tattoo studio and protect both you and your clients.
The Elephant® skin and hand disinfection for you and your customers.
With Elephant® disinfection you can disinfect your hands and the skin of your customers hygienically.
The Elephant skin and hand disinfection is an alcohol-based, hygienic and surgical skin and hand disinfectant with a short exposure time. It is very skin-friendly and is ideally suited for use in tattooing.
For hygienic hand disinfection it is recommended to rub the hands with the solution and keep them moist for 30 seconds. This is the recommended standard method of the DGHM (German Society for Hygiene and Microbiology) and DIN EN 1500.
For the sake of completeness, you will find an overview of the different exposure times below:
- Hygienic hand disinfection according to EN 1500, VAH: Conc. 30 sec.

The Elephant® protective film protects your precious power supplies and hard-to-clean areas of your workplace.
You can apply the Elephant® protective film to all surfaces of your workplace. It is particularly suitable for use in areas that are difficult to clean or difficult to disinfect. Your precious tattoo power supplies, other devices and your tattoo work trolley are optimally protected from any kind of dirt with the Elephant® protective film.
But the Elephant® protection foil also serves your protection! When tattooing, an invisible spray mist is created, which consists of contaminated material, such as the smallest remains of paint, blood or wound fluids. This spray mist is also called spray contamination. The spray mist is slightly larger with coil tattoo machines than with the use of rotary tattoo machines. It is highly recommended to protect your working environment within a radius of up to 2m from spray contamination.
On one roll of Elephant® protective foil there are 1,200 self-adhesive foil sheets. The perforated foils measure 10 x 14.5 cm. To cover larger areas, we recommend overlapping the foils.
The protective film is much more robust and stable than the often used kitchen roll. And especially in terms of hygiene and potential contamination, no compromises should be made when tattooing.

The Elephant@ sleeves protect your tattoo machines and cables.
The Elephant® protective covers for machines protect your tattoo machines and small power supplies from dirt and contamination. Especially helpful are the protective covers for coil tattoo machines, because they are usually a bit more difficult to clean due to their open construction.
Very practical when packing your machine is the integrated elastic band. The elastic band can be easily attached to the grip and offers the possibility to bundle excess film. So that you can lead the cable of your tattoo machine through the protective foil, simply cut a small hole in the foil at the place suitable for you.
The Elephant® protective covers for machines are half transparent and black. So your tattoo machines and small power supplies are safely packed and still easy to see.
In a box, which serves as a practical dispenser, 100 machine protection covers are included.

The Elephant® Clip Cord protective sleeves provide optimal protection for your cables. Especially they protect against cross-contamination. Since the cord leads directly from the tattoo machine to the power supply unit, the cord is directly exposed to the already described spray mist during tattooing. In addition, it is not uncommon that the cable comes into contact with the skin of the customer during tattooing. For these reasons, the use of a clip cord protective cover is an absolute must when tattooing.
The Elephant® Clip Cord protective covers are black and made of sturdy material. They have a comfortable length of over 1.80m.
In a box, which also serves as a practical dispenser, are 100 machine protective covers included.

The Elephant® tattoo accessories products
Elephant® offers some tattoo accessories products that make your work as a professional tattoo artist much easier. The Elephant® cables are super light and hardly noticeable during tattooing. With the Elephant® Cartridge Foam Grips you can use needle cartridges with machines that are actually designed to use conventional needles. And the Elephant® needle cartridge holders help you to keep your workplace tidy and organized.
The Elephant® cables are light as a feather and available in many different designs.
The extremely light Elephant® cables are our top sellers among the cables. With their 29g they are as light as a feather and have an optimal length of 2.50m. They can withstand a tensile force of at least 20kg and inside the cables 40 high-quality copper conductors provide the perfect power for your tattoo machines.
Of course the Elephant® cables are suitable for all rotary and coil machines with cinch connection. The Elephant® cables are available with straight and angled cinch connectors. Which of the two connections is most comfortable for you when tattooing depends on your machine and your individual preference. Many customers prefer the angled connection, because the cable, directly from the tattoo machine, leads down. The Elephant cables are available in both straight and angled versions in the following 9 colors: Black, Clear, Red, White, Orange, Pink, Green, Light Blue, Matt Black.

The Elephant® Cartridge Foam Grips for the use of needle cartridges with tattoo machines designed for standard needles.
With the Elephant® Cartridge Foam Grips you have the possibility to use needle cartridges on tattoo machines that are actually designed for standard needles on needle bars. There are some tattoo artists who swear by coil machines for example. But in most cases, coil machines are designed for the use of standard needles and not for the use of needle cartridges. With the disposable grips from Elephant® this is no longer a problem. The tube of the Cartridge Foam Grips fits on every common tattoo machine. A corresponding drive rod is of course included in the delivery.
The foam absorbs slight vibrations and ensures comfortable and convenient working even during longer tattoo sessions.
With the Grips all common needle cartridges can be used. You also have the choice between the slightly thicker grip with a diameter of 1.5 inches or the thinner grip with a diameter of 1 inch. The disposable handle pieces are sterilized with EO gas and 24 pieces are included in a box.

The Elephant® needle cartridge holders help you to keep your workplace tidy and clear.
The Elephant® needle cartridge holders are especially helpful for color realistic motifs where a large number of different needle cartridges are used.
The Elephant® needle cartridge holders allow you to store your needle cartridges neatly and safely during work and prevent them from rolling around on your workstation. The simple click system allows you to attach as many needle cartridge holders as you like.
By the way, the integrated small bowl is suitable for filling in needle cleaner or tattoo ink - so you have everything at hand.
If you use several cartridges of one needle type, you can put the needle sizes of one needle type together in a bar. This way you have all the Liner, Shader and Soft Edge Magnums in one bar on your workstation.
One box contains 48 pieces.

The Elephant® Tattoo Derm protection film is the optimal first aid for fresh tattoos.
The tattoo protection film from Elephant® has semi-permeable properties and is used for optimal wound care of fresh tattoos. Semipermeable means that the protection film lets liquid through to the outside - but does not let any liquids get inside.
Within the first 3 to 4 days after tattooing, the skin tries to eliminate the tattoo ink during the cleansing phase, according to its natural protective mechanism. The Tattoo Derm Foil Dressing from Elephant® serves as a perfect wound care in the first days, as it ensures that the fresh tattoo can "breathe" and is still perfectly protected from dirt. Furthermore, the foil prevents a possible unhygienic care by the customer in the first days.
With healthy skin and a normal self-healing process, the outermost skin layer, the epidermis, is restored after four days. The foil can then be removed and the tattoo can be further cared for with a tattoo care.
The foil is breathable, waterproof, stretchable and very comfortable to wear. With small to medium-sized tattoos, sports and showers are therefore no problem.
The roll is 20cm wide and has a total length of 10m.
