Stevens Wooden Junior/Senior Tongue Depressor

Stevens Wooden Tongue Depressors — Junior / Senior, 6-inch, 500 per box

Smooth, splinter-free hardwood spatulas made from Grade A wood, sold by the box of 500. For tattoo artists, they are a simple, clean way to scoop glide or butter out of the jar without contaminating it, to mix pigments, or to steady ink caps on the workstation. Single use and non-sterile: one stick per client, then into the bin.

What you get

• Grade A hardwood, odourless, with smooth, splinter-free edges
• 6-inch length, 500 depressors per box
• Two sizes: Junior 6 Inches (the narrower profile) or Senior 6 Inches (the wider profile)
• Single use, non-sterile

Keep a box within reach of the station. Use a fresh depressor each time you take ointment, glide or butter from a shared jar, so the jar stays clean between clients. The flat blade is also handy for mixing or blending pigments in a cap, spreading ointment on the skin during the session, and propping ink caps so they stay level. Junior suits small caps and precise amounts; Senior moves more product in one pass. They pair naturally with the glides, butters and ink caps carried by BNG.
