About Ghost

2019 - The growth

With Originals and Holy Ghost maintaining steady popularity in Europe, we set out to bring the community something unique. Still stacked with a safety membrane, HEX offered users something no other needle cartridge had at the time, a silicone fore-grip system. This fore-grip was the first on the market and acted as a supportive extension to the artist's machine grip - which allowed optimum precision in their work like never before. HEX boasted a new visual chapter for Ghost, with a striking green cartridge and loud packaging that stood out in every tattoo studio.

After 3 established cartridge ranges, we then made it our goal to provide artists with both the smallest and biggest cartridge sizes - Nano and Blackout were born. There was limited availability for Blackout artists, having to revert to traditional needles on the bar for blackout work. We stepped up to fill the void and provided these artists with the biggest cartridge sizes they'd ever seen.

On the opposite side of the scale, we observed fine-line artists required more versatility in needle groupings and gauges from single to seven liners. We reached out to some of the industry's leading fine-line and SMP artists and agreed that a needle finer than an industry-standard bugpin would broaden their potential.

2023 - Here & Now

2023 was a huge year, introducing bulk buy options for studios, as well as launching our first company collaboration with the game-changing tattoo furniture inventors; Ghost Tattoo Co.

With our current cartridges interior being tried and tested, we set out to improve the casing from our predecessors whilst complimenting the GTC branding. Thus came the highly anticipated Pink Ghost Cartridge. The Pink Ghost Cartridge was demanded globally from its launch, and since then Ghost has entered new markets such as North and South America. With a new generation of artist & standard moving the industry forward, we joined them.

Disposable grips were being used a lot less due to the trend of pen machines rising, so we decided to merge our Ghost Originals & Holy Ghost Cartridges to make Ghost Black - the beginning of our rebrand. Our rebrand was massively inspired by Tattooing's love for horror - and our love for vintage comics.

We reached out to our Brazilian friend Joao, who specialises in vintage comic illustrations and crafted our new visual image. This leads us to now. A new look, improved product and ghostcartridges.com - a place to exclusively shop Ghost Cartridges.. globally. Stick around for what's ahead, we're just getting started!
