For Tattooers Who Do It Different

Welcome to Maverick Supply Co., a tattooer-owned tattoo supply brand built for artists who break the mold. We make professional-grade tattoo cartridge needles, patented hand poke tools, and quality gear designed around the way tattooers work.

In the studio or on the road, you deserve tools that work as hard as you do.

Maverick by Name. Penguin by Spirit.

MAV·ER·ICK /ˈmav(ə)rik/
noun: An independent thinker. A rebel. A leader who refuses to follow the herd.

That independent spirit drives us, but community keeps us going. Our penguin mascot represents unity, loyalty, and strength in sticking together. Tattooers don't thrive alone. We thrive together.

Everything we do comes back to connection, quality, and culture.

Tools Built for Working Artists

Precision Tattoo Cartridges

Our tattoo cartridge needles are built with your daily workflow in mind, with a protective silicone membrane, medical-grade plastic and stainless steel, and EO gas sterilization. Our #12 long taper polished needles (.35 mm) are designed for consistent ink flow and precision.

Find the configuration that fits your work:

Tight Round Liners (TRL) for precision linework and fine details.
Loose Round Liners (LRL) for bold outlines and small shading.
Curved Open Magnums (COM) for smooth shading and realism.
Curved Closed Magnums (CCM) for distraction-free shading.
Flat Open Magnums (FOM) for bold color packing.
Bugpin Magnums for delicate black and grey work.
Hollow Round Liners (HRL) for consistent, bold linework.

Patented Hand Poke Tools

Our patented hand poke tattoo tool (Patent #12220552) features a proprietary cartridge-locking system designed specifically for Maverick cartridges. Available in aluminized brass and lightweight aluminum, our tools are precision-machined in the USA.

Reliable, precise, and sharp as hell. And yes, the packaging looks good too.
