IF YOU KNOW OUR HISTORY / YOU KNOW THE TRUTH (PAPILLON STUDIO, SUPPLY & MFG.) Established 1992
Published by Carl Basile on Jun 11th 2025
We have been busy for more than 35 years making the ink that put us on the map and keeping it old school as it should be, Pure Uncut Pigment Dispersion is our way and keeping it Vegan friendly. If you think were not here anymore your wrong and we are not going away any time soon! We work for the Tattoo Artist, not the others that think they know who we are or what we stand for.
Starburst Tattoo Ink is the new name but, the same old school recipe used by the true legend Michael Nicholson (AKA PAPILLON), BEST WHITE INK & Colors worldwide known for our quality BOLD COLORS & Designer Kits but love the fact that it is still made here in the USA.
I get calls from confused artists that request info on what happened with our brands or why their distributors won't carry some of our colors? I let them know that we decided to go in our own direction and change the name only, NOT THE RECIPE & it made some distributors nervous that they couldn't make enough money instead of supporting us like we have them for many years. But loyalty & honesty has disapeared in this industry and is rare but we have many World known Artists & suppliers that are in it to win it like, UNIMAX TATTOO SUPPLIES https://www.unimaxsupply.com/ , KINGPIN TATTOO SUPPLIES www.kingpintattoosupply.com , SUNSHINE SHOP https://www.yelp.com/biz/sunshine-shoppe-garden-city San Diego Tattoo Supply https://www.sdtattoosupply.com/ Nuclear Tattoo Supply https://store.nucleartattoo.com/ Just to name a few loyal good suppliers that keep the industry honest and respect this industry,
We are proud of all our products made here and continue to serve the tattoo industry as we always have!
