Shopping for tattoo supplies on eBay... Cheap chinese huh?

The big asked question, is it safe to buy tattoo supplies from eBay? And what about cheap chinese?

This all depends on the seller you plan to buy from. Yes there may be bad sellers with bad products and heaps of cheap nasty tattoo supplies on eBay but there are also many Professional tattoo suppliers like Monstersteel, painful pleasures, victorian tattoo supply, Bodymodking, cam tattoo supply, superior tattoo & more.

First know where the eBay seller is located, check the sellers feedback for customer ratings, confirm the item in the image is the correct product. Pay careful attention to photo's sometimes you may see an irregularity in the photo, require registered post ensuring packages arrive and use paypal to be protected against fraud. The sellers country can be found on their feedback page. See a feedback from a good supplier by clicking here. 

Many people say DON"T BUY CHINESE... That is silly. Yes there is alot of chinese tattoo supplies that are bad quality, some maybe even toxic, but there are good chinese suppliers. Did you know half the U.S.A sold tattoo machines, springs, contact screws etc is from china? Immortal tattoo ink who some claim to be made in the U.S.A is actually manufactured almost next door to tat2king who manufacture and supply 90% of the world with tattoo supplies. The most important factor to buying chinese is research, more research, then a whole heap more before you order. Check the company address supplied when searched in google return the same company, check phone numbers supplied by calling them, search complaints board for reviews, check for website name changes at whois.com, be very wary of super friendly emails and persistant contact a real professional will get straight to the point, without being rude.
