Flag Tattoo Supply offers all the supplies needed for tattoo procedures, ranging from needles and cartridges, to machines, inks, and hygiene products.
FLAG is also characterized by carrying multiple brands for the same purpose, such as pen-type machines and inks of the same color, to help customers find what suits their preferences.
Because of this, some customers may struggle to choose the right product. This article will help those struggling to choose by introducing what other artists are buying, what's being chosen among similar products, and what's popular at FLAG!
Needles and Cartridges
Flag's main product is the Grand RIZIN Cartridge, which is available in a total of 43 specifications. Among the four types: RL/RS/MG/SEM, the highly versatile RL is exceptionally popular.

【Must-see】Summary of Features of "RIZIN NEEDLE" Tattoo Cartridge Needles
Among RL needles of 0.25mm, 0.3mm, and 0.35mm, Flag's most popular is the 3003RL. This is followed by the 3505RL and 3503RL.
Needles with 3 to 9 pins are suitable for both designs and outlines, so they are used by many people, making their popularity well-deserved.
Please try RIZIN cartridges, which we can confidently recommend not only to professional artists but also to those who are just starting out in tattooing.
Pen-type Machines
In recent years, new tattoo machines have been released one after another, with an increasing number of high-performance and stylish machines. FLAG also offers an increasing variety of wireless and pen-type machines, while continuing to stock classic and coil machines. This time, we will introduce popular pen-type machines.
Bishop Rotary
The most popular is probably the classic Bishop machine. While more expensive than others, it's a reliable and powerful machine. Equipped with a powerful motor and made from lightweight aircraft-grade aluminum, Bishop machines are durable and can be used for a long time with few malfunctions.
Among them, The Power WAND Liner 5.0mm is more popular than the Wand Packer and Wand Shader, and is often out of stock. We will announce arrivals via LINE, so please purchase it as soon as possible.
Cheyenne SOL Nova
Next, the Cheyenne SOL Nova Unlimited Wireless is selling well. The SOL Nova Unlimited is available in 3.5mm, 4.0mm, and 5.0mm, but the most popular is 4.0mm. Like Bishop, this product is made by Cheyenne, a long-standing industry leader, so it is highly reliable and has stable demand. All operations can be performed with one button and motion control, and the needle depth can be widely adjusted. A feature of the Unlimited is its wide frequency range, which allows for dot work and realistic expressions, or strong lines, by adjusting the frequency.
Inkclaw
Finally, we recommend the Wireless Tiny Tattoo Pen from Inkclaw, a new brand that we started carrying in April 2023.
It is the world's smallest wireless pen-type tattoo machine, and because it is made of lightweight aluminum, it is both minimal and ultra-light. The built-in power pack is replaceable, allowing the main unit to be used for a long time. With a maximum rotation speed of 10,000 rpm, it can also accommodate large cartridge needles.
Although this was its first arrival, all in-stock items have already sold out, and it is expected to be a popular product in the future. When it is restocked, please purchase it before it sells out again.
Ink
FLAG handles nearly 500 ink-related products. We consistently stock 5-6 brands, including Solid Ink, Radiant, and World Famous. Since we can't introduce all of them, this time we will focus on the most common black inks and introduce the best-selling products.
Radiant HARAJUKU OUTLINING＜Black＞
Radiant inks are well-balanced products with good color development and uniform pigmentation. Among them, the popular black color is HARAJUKU OUTLINING 8OZ. Because it has little color variation and is affordable, it is not uncommon for people to purchase multiple bottles at once. The same series also includes HARAJUKU SHADING.
SOLID INK Black Label | Heavy Black ＜Black＞
Among the many black inks, Solid Ink's Heavy Black is consistently popular. We offer sizes from 2OZ to 8OZ, and it sells steadily regardless of size. Solid Ink is made entirely of organic pigments, free of carcinogens and preservatives. Its greatest feature is its high concentration and long-lasting vivid primary colors, which prevents fading.
Intenze Ink Zuper Black
This is a black ink product that FLAG recommends. A common inquiry we receive is about which black ink is the darkest. Intenze Ink Zuper Black is a product designed to be the darkest and most intense black among all blacks. Among the products we carry, this is probably the darkest black. If you are looking for a dense and deep black, please try this product.
Aftercare
FLAG offers a wide range of aftercare products including soaps, creams, bubbles, ointments, and film tapes, to suit various situations.
INK-EEZE Green Glide 16oz
FLAG's most popular product is INKEEZE Green Glide 16oz. Hustle Butter is also similarly popular, but its popularity is distributed across various individual sales, box sets, and sizes. In contrast, Green Glide 16oz is often purchased due to its cost-effectiveness at ¥4,180 and its convenience, as it can be used as a substitute for Vaseline during procedures and for aftercare.
BOKUSAI
Inked Gel
And, of course, the product we most recommend from FLAG is the BOKUSAI series. Inked Gel is a completely Japanese-made tattoo care gel, approved by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, in contrast to many overseas aftercare products. As you can see in the video, it is a gel type that spreads incredibly well and can be applied over a wide area. Half a year has passed since its launch, and thanks to your support, order numbers are increasing every month. You can order from 1 piece to 12 pieces with a display box, or even 24 pieces, so please give it a try!
We recommend the 12-piece set, which features a meticulously designed display!
BOKUSAI Murasaki Soap
Murasaki Soap was released as the second product in the BOKUSAI series. Although it has only been three months since its launch, it is already selling so well that it has become one of our main products. Murasaki Soap is a must-have soap, as a large amount is used in one procedure. It can be diluted up to 10 times, meaning one bottle can be used as 5 liters of soap. Additionally, we often receive feedback that its citrus scent is pleasant.
