Tattoo Conventions: A Global Journey
This year, INKin Tattoo Supply attended a number of prestigious tattoo conventions, focused on tattoo equipment and supplies as well as events where talented tattoo artists could showcase their craft. Our key product for promotion across all these shows was the REVO cartridge needles, a revolutionary innovation in tattooing technology designed for precision, comfort, and durability. Along with our REVO cartridge needles, we also brought a variety of other products, including our tattoo machines, accessories, banners, posters, and promotional materials to make a lasting impression.
