Tattoo machines, needles, ink and supplies, with safety first. Contaminated ink has caused infections and the FDA has had many tattoo ink recalls, so check the FDA recall and safety alert list before you buy ink, use only sterile, single-use needles, and never dilute ink with tap or non-sterile water (CDC). Most cities and states license tattoo artists and shops, so check with your local health department. Shops below are commercial.
