Precision .018"-Thick Tapered Blue Carbon Steel Tattoo Back Spring
Each of these tapered Precision brand tattoo back springs is made from .018" blue carbon steel and has pronged ends that allow for easy installation and removal. They have an innovative design that controls where the spring flexes within a working armature assembly. You can use these .018"-thick tapered steel tattoo back springs with any conventional armature bar.
Our Precision .018" thick tapered blue carbon steel tattoo back springs are sold flat to ensure that there's no loss of temper in the steel, yielding perfect springs every time.
