How we tattoo is changing, or at least the foreseeable future. We appreciate that PPE requirements will vary from province to province and most (if not all) of us still don’t know what those requirements will be.

We are dedicated to bringing you the best products available to us and we aim to do so at the best price possible. PPE is in high demand, and most manufacturers are currently only allocating supplies to front line medical workers. As a result, both materials and finished products are in short supply and get immediately allocated to government agencies and multi-national companies. In an effort to keep the cost of actual tattoo supplies as low as we can (in the face of increased prices of plastics and woven materials, and shipping) we will not currently be expanding into a full line of PPE.

Much love to all our friends and customers we saw last month at the 3rd annual Winnipeg Tattoo Show! This is an AMAZING event be sure to join us 2021!

2020 Upcoming Shows include: Edmonton April 24-26th 2020, Lethbridge Tattoo Show Sept 11-13th 2020, Calgary October 16 to 18th 2020, Victoria Tattoo Expo October 23-25th 2020.

Well we’ve hit the ground running in 2018…we’ve released a new machine (the Electric Tebori series of Tattoo Pens and Machines!), had a BLAST at the 1^st annual Winnipeg Tattoo Show, and we are now working on a WHOLE NEW LOOK for our website as well as a wicked new savings program.

We are overwhelmed with the new faces we meet at every show and the new shops and artists from across the great white north that seek us out and trust us with their needs. For all of you out there spreading the word..thank you. Your support is noticed 😊

We anticipate the launch of our new site in the 1^st week of April. We need our web-skin to match our insides, and we think the changes will be easier for you to navigate. We are also introducing a new member/rewards program to bring greater savings to our loyal customers.

Happy Inking!

See you there!

    Over the past couple of weeks, the Source Tattoo Supply Team have been busy visiting over 100 shops throughout Southern Alberta.

     We know tattoo artists are busy and don’t always have the spare time to check out up and coming supply companies who sell awesome quality products (ahem… us!) … so we decided to hit the pavement and go to them!

    Our first stop was our home base of Calgary, and the surrounding areas. We got the chances to see familiar supportive faces and meet many new ones. Most shops were already bustling by the time we popped in, but everyone gave a few minutes of their time to chat with us. A couple of shout outs to Larkin from Flipside even made sure to sit down for some one on one face time. Nikki from Electric Odyssey couldn’t help but pop out from the back to introduce herself while we were chatting with Danny up front. It took a few days, but we managed to hit most shops in Calgary, Airdrie, Strathmore and Chestemere.

    Second on the list was the Windy City to the south, Lethbridge. Now, let me tell you, Lethbridge is a friendly city! We started the day off with a warm welcome from Will at Peppermint Hippo Tattoo and it only continued from there. When we stopped in to Jaded Body Arts, Kurtis gave us the grand tour of his shop! By the end of the day we’ve decided that Lethbridge, we like you! See you in September ;)

    The city of Red Deer was next. Just as friendly as our neighbours to the south, we were charmed by this city. We needed an extra cup of coffee for this trip since most shops in Red Deer open between 9 – 11am. We managed to catch the crew at Electric Tattoos before they opened for the day, and caught the guys at Dark Days and Native Arts for a brief moment in between clients. Overall, it was a busy day for all the shop in Red Deer, but we managed to sneak in to say ‘Hello’!

    Finally, we spent a couple of days touring around our provincial capital, Edmonton. We started our day by being welcomed to ‘crash’ the afternoon Tattoo Artist meeting at Pure Artistry Hair and Tattoo. It was great to be able to meet all the artists at once. We would find ourselves admiring all the gorgeous shops in the city. From Bombshells Tattoo Galerias taxidermy to Lucky Strikes cozy atmosphere. Shane at Shades of Grey was incredibly welcoming as we chatted about their recent success with their booth at the Calgary Comic Expo. As we made our way around the city, each shop became more and more welcoming and we found ourselves hanging out to chat a little longer each time. However, we finally had to pull ourselves away, call it a day and head home.

 Overall, the response from our Southern Alberta tour was overwhelmingly supportive. Shout out to everyone we’ve met along the way! We are feelin’ the love! Keep it up Alberta and we will keep sending the love back!

Welcome to Source Tattoo Supply! Thank you so much for taking the time to check us out..we hope our selection and pricing will keep your attention.

It’s been a long crazy year pulling together and polishing STS, and just as we approached the ‘finish line’, the carpet was seemingly yanked out from under a lot of us creating financial turmoil for many of our clients, fellow shop owners and us.  So, does the industry need another Tattoo Supplier?

YES. The single realization that spurned the creation of this company is more important today than it was the day I had it: we are being overcharged and under-serviced by people who don’t even like tattoos.

We need a trusted source for supplies. We need to be able to ask specific questions about products and have them answered by people who not only tattoo, but have actually used the item you’re asking about. We need to know that the people selling us our supplies feel as invested in the success of individual shops as the owners themselves do. We need selection and good pricing on the products we use today (and have used for the last 20+yrs) and frankly, we need to stop re-inventing every part of the wheel with pricey gadgets and magical solutions designed by people in the business of making money instead of making tattoos better and safer for you and your clients.

We’re gonna try damn hard to be the latter.

Drop us a line anytime at: sourcetattoosupply@mail.com

Tell us where the ball has been dropped, and we will fix it. Tell us what you want and need, and we’ll find it.

And check out ‘CONSIGNED’ under the products tab. If you make machines, designer foot pedals/clipcords, create sketchbooks of tattoo art etc. CONSIGNED is an awesome way to get your products out there to everybody we reach.

Have a happy and SAFE new year

2016 is gonna rock!
