We are pleased to announce that from now on, all our stainless steel tattoo grips, tattoo tips and backstems are made from the very best 316 stainless steel. We have recently upgraded from 304 stainless steel, as 316 stainless steel is a much tougher material and will last far longer when putting through your autoclave. Please be aware of cheaper equipment from other tattoo supplies sites, which will either rust or break down and be unusable after literally a couple of uses. In the current economic environment, you won’t want to be throwing your money down the drain!
