Welcome! My name is James Rader. I'm the owner and founder of Against The Grain Tattoo And Supply. We were founded in 2009, right here in the United States. I've spent the past few years buying my tattoo supplies from other companies on the web and locally from tattoo shops and found that the prices are just way to high. So I spent several months searching for great prouducts at a way cheaper price, and that I did find. I told myself maybe I should open up a retail shop so professional and new artist alike could save money on there supplies while still making good money slinging that ink and doing what they do best. So here we are, a small family owned business located in the beautiful Rocky Mountins of Colorado. Feel free to look through our supplies and if there is something you would like to see us carry that we don't, feel free to send us an email and I will personally do my best to stock those items. As our customer base grows so will we and we will stock more items and a larger variety. Customer service is always number one. If we are doing something right, tell your friends and us. If we are not please let me know and I will fix it. Thanks for taking the time for us to introduce ourselves. We hope to build a long standing relationship with you.
What drives us:
1st is the high prices other retailers charge. As long as they keep charging high prices I will keep looking for the best equipment at the lowest price.
Goal :
Our goal is to provide the Tattoo Professional with the highest quality products at the best rock bottom price, while providing the highest level of customer service.
We at Against The Grain believe in increasing awareness and doing our part for Breast cancer. This subject hits home. Recently 1 of our family members was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer and another one in our family found lumps and is going through the steps to find out if she has it. There is a saying ''When you do nothing, you feel overwhelmed and powerless. But when you get involved, you feel the sense of hope and accomplishment that comes from knowing you are working to make things better.'' So we have taken the time to mark items on our site with the pink ribbon. Every time you buy that item we will donate a $1.00 to the NBCF. Thanks for your support and time.
