Checking their site and they got reallllly good prices.
Are they safe? I heard some worries about their needles.

Gil- stop being cheap. 
Plan on spending $100 on your inks initially. If you don't have that in budget...wait. Trust me. I bought a big box of Prizm. I threw 70% of it away. It wasn't toxic, or dangerous...it just wasn't as brilliant as the Intenze I bought and put next to it. so I ended up covering ALL the tattoos I did with prizm with Intenze.
For $50 you can buy a 1/2oz starter kit of Eternals. Go spend it...go now!!!!

with these colors you can make about 100 colors with a little bit of blending knowledge. Best part is you KNOW you are using quality inks...so the whole "my ink sucks" excuse is out the window when you f' up a tattoo. LOL.

Really?
I thought Eternal was like $100 for a starter? That's why I didn't go that route.
I mean, I can stay with the Radiants that come from Hildbrandt but trying to up it a bit - even thought only the pig will benefit, haha

What about Starbrite? Cheap, American made and sterile. Will probably be my next set of ink.

Just switch the size to 1/2 ounce. honestly, this is the BEST deal out there. You have a proven ink full of asskickery...yes, it's a word. There is a reason so many great artists use it...it's that good.
Dammit...now I have to go buy the 1/2oz set...crap. :icon_twisted:

Actually that's the ink my artist uses too.

I use Mom's from WWTS. I don't know what the problem is. They are a licensed dealer. Prolly not THE best ink available, but I have no complaints.

I have said it a bunch of times always try to purchase your inks direct from the manufacturer if you can. If not buy from a reliable supplier. Now a days there is a lot of scam's going on, and the market is flooded with fake inks. So even though a supplier is a licensed distributor, that still does not mean you are getting the real deal.

I order a lowexfordm world wide, and everything is great but the needles.
Thy hav awesome disposable grips and good prices. I do not recommend buying scream ink
or any other cheap inks. I use intense and starbriteinks only certain colors
from each company and I use the kokkaisumi grey wash. And you don't have
to buy a big kit of inks. Just buy a few at a time and a 1/2 ounce goes a long ways.

Here is the deal with colours. Dont buy sets, or starter kits when starting out.
Buy Blue, Red, Yellow, Green and a very small white. As well as your outline Black.
This small amount will cost next to nothing in a good branded product. How many colours and shades can you make with those primary colours? Hundreds!
There are enough discussions on here regarding ink, to come to the conclusion that there are around half a dozen brands of colours to use and thats it! Why even risk any others?
Cheap ink is exactly that and is probably 99% true it isnt tested or steralized. Go to a trusted tattoo equipment retailer and you will never risk it again, once you see the quality difference.
Cutting corners is exactly why we get put straight in the firing line for a scratchers slanging match! :icon_twisted:

Very very well put Dave. It's tough enough making
it and not being called a scratcher without people causing
major issues buying bad ink, or any other supplies.

I started as a "scratcher" using cheap inks and I learned the hard way. Bought some bloodline inks and they were so much better. I now work in a busy professional studio and use Eternal inks and Fusion inks and I must say, I've tried loads of brands and my boss tried even more than me, Fusion Inks kick ass! So easy to use, colours are bold and bright. Awesome inks. Boss is thinking of using Fusions only now.
