FINK Caps™ Expands Nationwide Distributor Network, Redefining Tattoo Workflow with Its Patented Slanted Oval Ink Cap

Created by 40-year tattoo OG Brad Fink, the USA-made innovation is rapidly gaining traction among professional artists and distributors worldwide.

FINK Caps™ (finkcaps.com), the patented slanted oval tattoo ink cap designed by legendary tattoo artist Brad Fink, is accelerating its expansion through a growing network of authorized distributors across the United States and international markets. Since its market release in February 2026, the product has quickly emerged as one of the most talked-about innovations in professional tattooing.

The concept traces back decades. In the late 1980s, Brad began using a soufflé cup set inside a slanted holder to improve his ink loading angle at the station. That hands-on improvisation evolved over 40 years of professional tattooing into a refined, patent-protected ink cap now trusted by artists seeking better control, efficiency, and ergonomics






The Product

Unlike traditional round tattoo ink caps, FINK Caps™ feature a forward-slanted oval design that aligns naturally with the artist’s wrist and workflow. The patented shape delivers measurable improvements across the tattooing process:

  • Smoother ink loading for both round and magnum needles

  • Improved ink visibility at the station

  • Reduced spills and ink waste

  • Less wrist fatigue during long sessions


Each cap is clean-room manufactured in the USA using high-grade materials and comes in perforated sheets of 48, allowing artists to tear off individual caps or use connected strips for a cleaner, more organized workstation.

Product Line & Upcoming Releases

The current FINK Caps™ lineup features The Originals, the brand’s standard white slanted oval cap. The summer 2026 release schedule introduces three new colorways:

  • Boss Pink (chrome pink)

  • OG FINK (metallic gold)

  • Jungle Pop (exotic)

Additional smaller size variations are also in development to meet growing artist demand for task-specific cap options.

Growing Distribution Network

FINK Caps™ are available through an expanding network of authorized distributors, including:

The brand continues to onboard new wholesale partners as demand increases across both domestic and international markets. To support this expansion, FINK Caps™ has launched its official platform at finkcaps.com, featuring a distributor locator, wholesale application portal, and product education for artists and suppliers transitioning from traditional ink caps.
