Can anyone give me an address for tattoo suppliers in Canada, preferably on the West Coast (but any info is appreciated)? I’ve got a friend who’s been an artist for quite a few years, fell on some hard times (lost his shop) and is really wanting to get back into it seriously. I know he’s got the name of some suppliers on the East Coast, but I was hoping to find something a little closer for him. Any leads on used equipment would be appreciated also. Thanks.

I think he mentioned that one… and there was another one in Ontario (OK, that’s east coast to me 
). Thanks for the link. check out bme’s links, naturally.

This is my first time posting to this NG. I live in Massachusetts, and tattooing is not allowed here. What I would like to know is how would I go about getting My own equipment (personal use only). I have used homemade tattoo guns for years but would like to get a little more detailed and I just can’t seem to get what i need with what i have fabricated. I appreciate any info that anyone could offer…ie; cost, reputable places to deal with, how do i get it, anyone with used stuff that they would be willing to send COD… I thank you for any help you can offer BIG MONTE "YE AS I WALK THROUGH THE SHADOWS OF VALLEY OF DEATH I SHALL FEAR NO EVIL FOR I AM TRAINING TO BE THE BIGGEST MAN IN THE VALLEY"
B I live in Massachusetts, and tattooing is not allowed here. What I would like B to know is how would I go about getting My own equipment (personal use only). here’s an idea: save the money on buying a professional rig & use it for gas money to drive yourself a state or two over. you can’t tell me HAVING tattoos is illegal in massachusetts. so have them done elsewhere. lish 28.6% / 32

You seem to be missing my point I would like to do this for myself. I could very easily go down the road and get one in the next state, but I would like to have art that i can look at and say "I DID IT MYSELF". So understand now? thanks anyway though BIG MONTE "YE AS I WALK THROUGH THE SHADOWS OF VALLEY OF DEATH I SHALL FEAR NO EVIL FOR I AM TRAINING TO BE THE BIGGEST MAN IN THE VALLEY"

I don’t know you, so I can’t judge your ability to do your own tattoos correctly; but I would think it would be cheaper to drive or get a ride to New Hampshire or Rhode Island. =Narnia= http://www.velvet.net

They will be glad to ship anything to you. Be advised, tattooing is a felony in Massachusetts whether or not you do it for profit. Few people are convicted but the law is on the books. Geoffrey

Let Lord God Darwin take care of this. Give ‘em some information if you like, give them all the information (such as I did in giving him Huck Spauldings web address) and then let evolution go to work. I would agree that someone who has not heard of spaulding and rogers with their ubiquitous advertising, yet thinks they are ready to tattoo is an interesting thought.

Do you understand how difficult it is to tattoo? Do you know how expensive it is to cover up the crap "you did yourself"? I do I tattoos for a living…It took me two years in a formal apprentiship to learn how to use the equiptment properly. It’ not somthing you just pick up an do well. Believe me if you "do it your self" you won’t have to tell any one, they will know by looking at it! I cover up home done jobs all the time, there is alot more to it than picking up a needle and poking. Also to get enough equiptment to do one tattoo on yourself, you will spend more money than if you just went and had it professionally done in the first place. Good quality machines start at $150 for that you could get an hour and a half of tattooing. That dosent even include the power unit, needles, tubes, ink, and steralization unit. Autocalves start out at over $900. None of this is meant to flame you, most people don’t realize how expensive and difficult it is to tattoo. Misha #

Believe me the apprenticeship is the easy way I have spent close to 8 years suffering and busting my ass with the help of a number of very kind artists to learn it on my own. If I could do it again I would have taken the time and expense to do an apprenticeship as it stands it has cost me more, taken a lot longer, and I still am not where I really want to be. It’ not somthing you just pick up an do well. Believe me if you "do it your self" you won’t have to tell any one, they will know by looking at it! I cover up home done jobs all the time, there is alot more to it than picking up a needle and poking.
Too true I have a couple I am looking to get covered, some of my early work. Also to get enough equiptment to do one tattoo on yourself, you will spend more money than if you just went and had it professionally done in the first place. Good quality machines start at $150 for that you could get an hour and a half of tattooing. That dosent even include the power unit, needles, tubes, ink, and steralization unit. Autocalves start out at over $900.
And this is the short list. You can easily get in over 3000.00 or more and this is just startup to do it right. The other thing she didn’t mention is when you get the machine it won’t be running right you will have to tune it and tweak it not to mention break it in properly. Also you can’t use that little plug in adapter that you have for your "jailhouse" rig chances are it is a 6 to 12VDC 6 watt most coil machines run at close to 2 amps so expect to shell out for at least $180.00 for your power supply. Also the needles you get are not Sterile you will have to sterilize what you get from the manufacturer, so you have to get your autoclave (By far preferred) or bare minimum a dry heat sterilizer. Chalk up 900.00 to 1200.00 for low end clave 300.00 to 400.00 for dry heat. :::::::: just to underscore misha’s statements:::::::: in addition to that list you have ink caps, grommets, your various chems sprays ect, clip cord, foot pedal, gloves, and on and on and on. Also you will need to know how to use all this. For some reason I just don’t buy that after all that expense you are just going to be tattooing yourself. Hell for that matter even with your jailhouse rig I think you have probably tattooed your buddies ect. No loss to me since I make a good buck on cover-up and rework. Thought I hate to think how it would feel to know you gave your buddy Hep B or you got Hep B from your friend. To be honest your best method would likely be travel out of state and get some work done. Stay in contact with that artist and make friends with them. Then when the time comes you want to do your piece then you may be able to use their facilities and he may even help you out with pointers ect. The other option is move to a more tattoo friendly state and work with an artist there. If you are still intent on your current course of action the do a search for tattoo supplies you will find a number of venders on line. Be warned though many of the better suppliers only sell to professionals. — JSin The Lost Generation Custom Tattoo and Design http://www.bigfoot.com/~lostgen "My right arm reaches out for her love only, But my left arm still embraces a life of Sin" – The Reverend Horton Heat

lish advised: i know a couple people in this newsgroup have inked themselves using their regular tattooist’s machine. if you just want one piece, you might try that – it’d save you the money for the machine & other supplies, for one, & it’s likely to be a more sterile environment than your apartment or kitchen table or whatever, too.
i gotcha, no i will be doing more than one piece but thanks for the advice
Honestly, if you are only doing ONE piece, then the investment is hardly worth it. Lish’s advice was good. Well, or maybe you could buy a really nice machine and supplies, do your one tattoo and then sell the stuff to me cheap, since you won’t be needing it anymore ; iniquity
Be advised, tattooing is a felony in Massachusetts whether or not you do it for profit. Few people are convicted but the law is on the books. is this even if i only work on myself? i heard (you know how that goes) that for personal use it’s ok … but never on other people.
GENERAL LAWS OF MASSACHUSETTS Chapter 265: Section 34. Tattooing body of person by other than qualified physician; punishment. Section 34. Whoever, not being registered as a qualified physician under section two of chapter one hundred and twelve, or corresponding provisions of earlier laws, marks the body of any person by means of tattooing, shall be punished by a fine of not more than three hundred dollars or by imprisonment for not more than one year, or both. I believe that the phrase "any person" may be interpreted as including oneself. But i’m not a lawyer. iniquity
BIGMNTY wrote I live in Massachusetts, and tattooing is not allowed here. What I would like to know is how would I go about getting My own equipment (personal use only).
Depending on how much you want to tattoo, you may have to consider relocating for a proper apprenticeship. Finding the equipment isn’t hard with a Search Engine search. Learning the tricks of the trade, and getting proper sterilization equipment, might be better done under the direction of an expert. Good luck, ~ Rebekah (EMailed & posted) http://www.bmeworld.com/rebekah/reasked-home.html I doubt that age has much to do with the level of rudeness here, it’s more a genuine disregard for civility and caring about one’s fellow human beings. – Denise

In other words, the prosecutor might say (to the jury), "Hey, be reasonable they have this equipment for more than working on themselves." Even if this might not be true, it is a reasonable legal assertion. The defense lawyer would then be left attempting to prove a negative (which is hard). Although posession is not a crime, posession could be twisted into evidence the crime was committed, especially with physical evidence such as bloody needles, neighbor complaints or another crime such as drug posession. Needless to say, there are tons of people in Massachusetts who have equipment and have received it mail order and have not even been indicted. Still, care is always a good idea. A tattoo artist who was especially vocal and outspoken, got himself in the papers etc. was indicted a couple years ago. I think he got a suspended sentence, though he may have done some time.

All most excellent points, Geoff! I still vote for the "he buys it, uses it once and then sells it to me cheap" suggestion iniquity
Not for nothing I go to an artist in Boston. Because I am not going to name names you can all cut me up and say he is a hack. He is one of the best to ink me, and all of the power to him. On another note. I know someone who knows a little someone, and tattooing might be becoming legal in Boston! I am local to the area, so I would be getting the ear if it was in the works….. — "~LOBE

I’m interested in learning to do tattoos. A friend informed me the best way to get started is to get a kit which includes all the basic supplies and to practice A LOT on fruit and to start hanging out at the shop (where a different friend does tats) and observing. I’ve seen various offers from various tattoo supply companies for various "set-ups", but I can’t really tell the difference between most of them. If you know which companies are most reputable or if you know of a good kit for beginning tattoo artists please post a reply or email. thanks.
I would recomend Precision Tattoo Supply or Spaulding Enterprises. Both can be found in almost any tattoo magazine. I would also recomend getting an apprenticeship at a local shop. Simply "observing" will not give you enough information to actually do a tattoo. Things to consider are needle depth, needle types and their respective applications, etc. Remember, the tattoo you do on fruit isn’t close to what it will look like on a person, who will have to wear that tattoo the rest of their life.
