FAQ
What are the most important tattoo supplies to keep stocked?
Needles or cartridges, grips, stencil supplies, ink caps, barrier products, wipes, wash bottles, cohesive tape and station covers are the core items most studios use regularly.
Should I shop tattoo supplies by category or by brand?
Shop by category when you need to refill essentials. Shop by brand when you already know the exact product line you prefer, such as a specific cartridge, grip or stencil product.
What is the difference between needles, cartridges and traditional needles?
Cartridges are modular needle tips used with compatible machines and grips. Traditional needles are commonly used with tube setups. The right choice depends on your machine, workflow and preference.
Why are station supplies important?
Station supplies help keep the setup organized and efficient. Items like ink caps, bottle bags, drapes, covers and wipes support a cleaner workflow from stencil to final wipe down.
What should I buy for stencil prep?
A basic stencil setup usually includes stencil paper, transfer solution, skin markers and, when needed, stencil remover or a stencil printer.
