Tattooing is medical work disguised as art. Every product we build starts from that premise — and works backwards to make the long session easier on the hand holding the machine.
Four things
we won't move on.
Most of the industry was built on “good enough” supply bought in bulk from the nearest distributor. We rejected that default the day we started.
- 01 /
Medical grade
Every product in our catalogue is held to medical-grade standards — not tattoo-shop standards. The industry inherited us, not the other way around.
- 02 /
Chemo & fentanyl rated
Our nitrile formula is rated for chemo and fentanyl exposure. That rating didn't happen by accident — it's what the real work needed.
- 03 /
Built in Florida
Warehouse, packing, shipping — all from Ft. Lauderdale. Orders placed before 2pm ship the same day, no drop-shipping middle layer.
- 04 /
Made for the long session
Near-zero resistance, textured grip, extreme elasticity. If you can feel it on your hand by hour four, it's the wrong glove.
From zero to now.

Blackwork Supply founded
Started in South Florida with one goal: medical-grade protection purpose-built for tattooers, not repackaged from dental or industrial suppliers.

Black Nitrile formula goes public
Patented ultra-elastic black nitrile ships. Chemo & fentanyl rated, 1.5 AQL, near-zero resistance — the spec sheet every supplier said was impossible.
- 2022
Cartridge System launches
Round liners, curved mags, bugpin and bold traditional sizes. Built to fit any modern rotary and hold a line through a full back-piece.
