ELITE Tattoo Supplies is now live on the Inky marketplace - and same disclosure as always up front: we partner with ELITE, so if you buy through our links we may earn a commission. That doesn't change the price you pay, and it doesn't change what follows. Better than that this time: our code INKY10 knocks an extra 10% off anything at checkout. Here's the company, the range and where the gear slots into your studio.
What ELITE is
Unlike most names on our marketplace shelf, ELITE doesn't sell aftercare - it sells the equipment you tattoo with. They've been manufacturing and supplying professional tattoo equipment since 2008: needle cartridges, tattoo machines and pens, stencil printers and transfer paper, derm shield, ink caps, plus the studio furniture in between. Strong presence in Europe and America, ships worldwide, and prices in USD.
The range
The essentials, with current pricing:
- ELITE 3 and ELITE INFINI needle cartridges - medical-grade tips, membrane-sealed and E.O. gas sterilised, 95 configurations from fine liners to curved magnums. Boxes of 20 from about $19.50, or try a $4.50 sample set of five before you commit.
- ELITE FIND wireless pen machine - $399 - battery-grip wireless pen for line work and shading, no power supply, no cable.
- ELITE POCKET S7 stencil printer - $269 - prints stencils over Bluetooth from Mac, Windows, phone or tablet, including straight from Procreate via the ELITE STENCIL app. 203 DPI, 120-160 prints per charge, CE and FCC certified, one-year warranty.
- Premium Derm Shield - from $26.90 a roll - the ultra-thin 0.01mm transparent matte film, latex-free, waterproof and breathable, with three peel points for easy backing removal. A 20cm × 10m roll covers months of wraps and pairs naturally with the second-skin films further down your shelf.
- Studio kit - the magnetic-locking ELITE tray ($119, smoke grey or hot pink), solid-steel multifunction armrests ($229-$249), thick-wall silicone ink caps (from $7.90 for 150), compostable PLA wide-base caps (from $4.90), and DIPFOAM ($17.90 for 24) - single-use foam dip cups that let you switch colours with a dry needle every time.
How it fits your session
That range reads like a studio setup list, in order:
- Print the stencil - POCKET S7 straight from your iPad over Bluetooth, or their thermal transfer paper as the manual fallback
- Set up - tray and armrest at height, ink caps down, cartridges in your grip
- Work - FIND pen machine on the battery, DIPFOAM cups for clean colour switches
- Wrap - premium derm shield straight over the fresh piece
- Heal - that's where our aftercare picks take over, Tojo cream and friends on the same page
One supplier from stencil to wrap - that's the pitch, and the range actually backs it up.
Why we put it on the marketplace
If you're an artist reading this: consumables you rebuy every week are exactly where a standing 10% code pays for itself - cartridges, caps, transfer paper and derm shield add up fast, and gear like the printer or a wireless machine is the same math on a bigger receipt. ELITE has been at it since 2008, and the sample sets make the needles an easy, low-risk try.
