Why Hens Teeth
We don’t cluck around with quality
“The 8 hollow was super nice to tattoo with”
“So glad I stumbled upon these bad boys!”
Built from premium 316 stainless steel, tough enough for the daily grind of a busy studio, while gliding through skin as smooth as silk.

Designed by tattooers
The range exists because we needed it. Every grouping was specced and tested in a working studio before it went on sale.
One supplier, whole bench
Needles, tubes, stencil gel and aftercare from a single order, so your artists aren’t chasing four invoices.
Local stock, local shipping
Held and dispatched in Australia. No six-week wait on an overseas order that turns up bent.
