Kwadron - Tattoo Cartridge - Magnum - Long Taper

€31,49 *

Hustle Butter Deluxe Tub Tattoo Care

€26,39 *

(€22,18 excl. VAT)

Why FON uses it

“I use it during the session to soften the skin and minimise the damage the needle does when it hits the skin. It gives me a lot of smoothness while tattooing, brings the swelling down, and I really like the smell.”

FON uses · Deluxe, 150 ml tub

Tip · “What I do that you don't see much: when the tattoo is done, I put on a generous amount and cover it with cling film. Leave it about ten minutes. It takes the redness down a lot, so I get a good photo of my work.”

Cheyenne - SOL Nova Unlimited II

€909,64 *

(€764,40 excl. VAT)

Why FON uses it

“I like the Cheyenne machines a lot too. If it's a portrait, I use the Cheyenne a lot. The Sol Nova.”

Bishop - Power Wand Full Set

€1.498,56 *

(€1.259,29 excl. VAT)

Why FON uses it

“Right now I'm working a lot with Bishop. I can use either machine, it depends on the tattoo: for culture themes, animals, I like the Bishop a bit more. I use the Packer.”

FON uses · Packer 4.2

#2 The New Artist

Starting out

Patience first, then quality materials.

Starting out from all artists

Advice for new artists

Be patient, everything comes in time, and put all the love you can into every piece. Buy quality materials. Spend your time drawing, studying, training, and analysing every tattoo you like.

When I started there wasn't much information online, it was a closed world. Today there are seminars, courses, drawing courses. Any of them is valid.

#3 The Studio Owner

In the studio

A clean space and a fully stocked table.

In the studio from all artists

Advice for studio owners

Almost everything is essential: ink, needles, machines, disinfectant, arm rests. A good work table matters most to me. To feel comfortable, my table has to have every kind of material on it.

My secret in the studio is keeping the space perfectly clean and the client care impeccable. Anyone running a studio should put their money into quality products.
