Ordering & Trade Accounts
Who can buy from The Tattoo Warehouse?
We're a trade supplier for the tattoo industry — most of our range is intended for professionals and apprentices working at studios. That said, our aftercare and cleaning products are available to everyone, no matter who you are.
Do I need to create an account to order?
No — you can order as a guest at checkout. Creating an account is optional, it just makes reordering quicker and lets you track your order history.
How do you verify I'm a professional artist?
On your first order, we check that it's being shipped to a tattoo studio to confirm you're a working professional. If your first order goes to a home address instead, keep an eye on your inbox — we'll email you asking for studio verification before it's processed.
Shipping & Delivery
How much does shipping cost?
If you're in the Perth metro area, it's a flat $17 — that's for the whole order, no matter how much you buy, not calculated on weight or size. Outside Perth and to New Zealand, shipping is calculated at checkout based on your order and location.
How fast will my order arrive?
Perth metro: next business day as standard, or same-day if your order's in before 8:30am. Rest of Australia: we dispatch same or next business day and it typically lands within 2–4 business days via Express Post or courier. New Zealand: usually within a week of dispatch.
There are a few shipping options at checkout — which one should I pick?
Checkout shows each option with its estimated delivery time, so go by the timeframe rather than just the price — the cheapest option isn't always the fastest way to get your order.
Do you ship outside Australia and New Zealand?
We ship across Australia and to New Zealand as standard. If you're further afield, get in touch and we'll see what we can work out.
What kind of packaging do you use?
We use biodegradable packaging wherever we can and reuse boxes where possible, so don't be surprised if your order turns up in a repurposed box.
Returns, Refunds & Warranty
Can I return something if I've changed my mind?
Yes — if you've changed your mind, get in touch and we can sort out a return. You'll be responsible for the cost of shipping the item back to us.
What if my order arrives faulty, wrong, or never turns up?
Get in touch straight away. We'll give a full refund or replacement if the item is genuinely faulty, doesn't match what was on the website, or didn't arrive because of an error on our end. For faulty claims, we may ask you to send the item back at your cost while we inspect it, and we'll sort you out once that's confirmed.
Is there a warranty on machines and equipment?
Equipment carries whatever warranty the manufacturer offers. On top of that, your rights under Australian Consumer Law always apply, no matter what.
Payment
When do I need to pay, and what currency are prices in?
Payment is due when you place your order, unless we've agreed otherwise in writing. All prices are in Australian dollars and include GST. Card surcharges may apply.
Products
What ink brands do you stock?
We carry the brands studios actually ask for — including World Famous, Solid, Dynamic, and Dark Horse — alongside a full range of other trusted names.
What else do you sell besides ink?
Pretty much everything a studio needs: tattoo machines (coil and pen), needles and cartridges, tubes, grips and tips, stencil products, power supplies, medical and sterilisation supplies (gloves, sharps containers, chemicals), aftercare products, studio furniture, plus a dedicated range for PMU and SMP work.
Do you have a restocking program for studios?
Yes — it's designed to keep studios stocked up on the consumables you go through fastest, without you having to remember to reorder. Check out our Restocking Program page or give us a call to get set up.
