Anyone who is trying to get into the tattooing field and run their own parlor will need to take the time to find a supplier. As with any other store you will constantly need to be restocking and it is vital to find a supplier you can stick with for the long-term. Not only is this going to make record keeping and inventory lists easier on you but will also ensure you get the best deals in the long run. A good supplier is willing to offer discounts and deals for their loyal customers.

Start by researching the different pieces of equipment you need. Tattoo guns, ink, chairs, display counters and lights are just a few of the most important pieces of tattoo equipment. Sterilization equipment is some of the most important inventory you will ever buy. This is what keeps your clients safe and ensures their tattoos do not become infected.

Depending on whether you will be offering piercings at your shop as well you would then need to add on piercing needles, body jewelry, kits jewelry tubes, stencils and more.

Looking online is likely to be your best bet to find the right supplier. To make things easier on yourself you may want to write out the names of the different suppliers that catch your eye. The great thing about using company’s websites to do research is that it is basically just like walking right into their store in person. You are able to see firsthand all the different pieces of equipment they have and prices they are asking.

To get the lowest price it is wise to only go shopping at certain times of the year. Holidays like Boxing Day and blowout sales are great ways to save. Once you have a good supplier for tattoo equipment you know you can rely on them every time you need to restock. It is well worth putting in the effort in the beginning to find a reliable supplier you can stick with.
