Hails folks! I own a underground tattoo salon in Los Angeles. Since 2002 I've been purchasing all tattoo equipment at wholesale prices but my supplier killed himself (believe it or not) so I'm trying to find a good tattoo supply firm (preferable online) to buy tattoo stuff from. Here is an example of what I need: Tattoo Ink. Thank you very much in advance for any information guys! PM me or drop me some lines at: triple6tattoo@hotmail.com
