Favourite New Products of 2024

2024 has been one hell of a year, and we’ve been doing our best to keep up with the latest great tattoo supplies that you’ve been asking for!

From apprentices to old masters, every tattoo artist working today can benefit from the innovations that are constantly happening in our machines, power supplies, and - perhaps most notably thanks to EU REACH regulations - our tattoo inks.

Here are just a few of the new products we got in stock this year, and why you’ve loved them!

Dynamic BLKOUT

Anyone who knows Killer Ink will know we’re big fans of Dynamic Ink - but when REACH regulations came into effect, it became a scramble for the company to create their most-loved inks with a new formulation.

This year, Dynamic added to their incredible roster with BLKOUT, their blackest black ink yet! Featuring a high concentration of premium black pigments, with a balanced viscosity that both flies into the skin and creates a long-lasting, highly opaque black for striking, high-contrast designs.

As blackout and blastover tattoos continue to rise in popularity, we’re sure more and more of you will be reaching for bottles of Dynamic BLKOUT!

Hustle Butter Rejuvenating Lotion

Fans of the classic Hustle Butter Deluxe or Hustle Bubbles Wash, your dreams have come true! Hustle Butter’s new Rejuvenating Lotion features the same signature scent as the original line of products, now in a formula that’s perfect for healed tattoos.

Rejuvenating Lotion is totally petroleum-free, vegan-friendly, and made from naturally-derived ingredients. Use yourself to make your healed tattoos pop, or recommend to your customers with dull, dry skin and tattoos.

Hustle Butter Revitalizing Stick

Another treat for your healed tattoos with the incredible tropical smell of Hustle Butter, this Revitalizing Stick is an on-the-go formulation of naturally-derived, vegan and cruelty-free ingredients.

This is essentially Hustle Butter in stick form, and it’s ideal for an instant facelift of your and your customer’s tattoos. Only for healed skin, this small stick can fit in your handbag or car glove box, and is suitable for air travel on most airlines - just make sure to double check before you fly!

FK Irons Ergo Shield Disposable Foam Grips

Disposable grips for tattoo machines have been getting smarter and smarter, but we were still really impressed by FK Irons’ latest innovation, the Ergo Shield grip.

Combining an ergonomic foam grip in three different sizes with an incredibly easy-to-use barrier wrap, we’ve put FK’s claims of a 10 second setup to the test and found that yes, it is that fast!

Replace your machine grip with this foam option, and use the tab to pull the barrier film up and over the battery pack before sticking it down with the resealable sticker tab. The grip itself is made with fatigue-reducing foam in an ergonomic design, available in a range of diameters from 40 mm up to 65 mm.

Worried about adjusting your stroke length with this combined grip and wrap? The free-spinning spline means you’ll have no trouble making the necessary adjustments without having to remove the grip, and the barrier film is strong enough to be sturdy but thin enough for easy access.

Watch the video for our best time attempts at wrapping an FK Irons machine, with an explanation of how these clever grips work!

FK Irons Darklab Refuel Charging Dock

We love FK Irons and their rechargeable PowerBolt battery packs, but with the Refuel Charging Dock they’ve made these wireless batteries more convenient to use than ever!

While you can charge all versions of the PowerBolt via USB-C, this charging dock streamlines the process, allowing you to charge two at once from a mains power supply in just 2-3 hours. The sturdy dock has a magnetic anti-skid base and glowing LED underlights to let you know your battery’s charging status.

Perhaps the biggest reason to switch from using a cable to the Refuel Charging Dock is the built-in battery protection that switches off the charger once all PowerBolts are fully charged.

We’ve got all you need to know in our video on the Refuel Charging Dock!

Musotoku Rover R-1 Wireless Battery Pack

The wireless battery pack we’ve all been waiting for! Musotoku’s power supplies are legendary in the tattoo industry, and we were thrilled to see them adapt that same incredible power for a wireless battery pack with the Rover R-1.

With 5-12 Volts of power adjustable in 0.1 V increments, Musotoku’s NITRO jumpstart feature and over 1000 health checks per second to protect your machine, you can run your machine reliably and keep an eye on your battery consumption to avoid unexpected delays.

Like many new battery packs, the Rover R-1 is powered by 18350 lithium-ion batteries, allowing you to buy a replacement easily and at your own convenience when the battery reaches the end of its life.

The Rover R-1 comes with an RCA or 3.5 mm Cheyenne-compatible connection, or get a little extra power with the Dan Kubin Extended Volt pack with a huge voltage range of 2.5 - 12 V.

Hornet HoneyStencil Solution

It looks like honey. It smells like honey.

It’s not honey.

Watch your customer do a double take as they spot this squeezable package of stencil honey on your workstation - then, create a clear, defined tattoo stencil and see how well it holds throughout the appointment!

Crybaby Stencil Bond

This stencil primer from the team at Crybaby might just be your new favourite way to make stencils!

The unique formula dries fast to eliminate downtime in your appointment, and as it’s made from just a few select ingredients, it’s a reliable solution for all your clients.

Forget bleeding lines, long waits to dry and scrubbed-off stencils half way through your appointment when you use Crybaby Stencil Bond - also available in the Gothbaby design, which is the same great product with a darker twist and a 2% donation toward breast cancer awareness charities.

Cheyenne Unlimited II

We’re huge fans of Cheyenne products, so when we saw that they were bringing out a sequel to the much-loved Unlimited, we knew we had to get our hands on it!

The Unlimited II uses the same rechargeable lithium-ion batteries and a slightly wider frequency range of 25 - 150 Hz. The innovative new design sees the machine separated out into an operating unit and drive unit, which means you can get drive units in your choice of stroke length and use the same operating unit.

This is the first Cheyenne machine to feature a built-in display, which makes it easy to select your Voltage or Hertz, and try out the three responsive modes that automatically adjust the hardness of the hit based on how you work.

Like most Cheyenne tattoo machines, the Unlimited II is super quiet with very low vibration, which makes for a more comfortable experience, both for artist and customer.

Of course, we have a video for that too!
