For Tattooers, By Tattooers

Black Claw was founded by career tattooer Grime, who has almost 30 years of experience working as an innovator in tattooing. We use what we create, which is why we lead in innovation & quality.

“My absolute favorite. The hella fine liners are unlike any other needles. Seriously dope, if you’re debating, no need - just buy them when you can, bc they can’t keep these in stock!”

Cecelia E.

“The only needles i’d ever use - there is a reason they’re the industry standard.”

Jack E.

“All of our artists swear these are the best needles we’ve ever used.”

Mark G

“GAME CHANGER. They weren’t kidding when they said these liners would lay in solid lines off the tip with no effort. I couldn’t believe how dense and flawless a line could be!"

Kristi W.

“Amazing ink flow, less skin trauma, faster, more solid healing, these needles are beyond compare!”

Sharon H

“They are the only needles that I will use for large scale black and gray shading. Not only does it give me comfort in knowing that they are the safest for my clients, being lead free and 316L surgical steel needles, but also they allow me to always easily apply smooth shading with great results.”
