About us

Nexus® Cartridges was founded in 2021, from the desire of creating a product that would not only be of high quality, but also create value for each tattoo artist in the form of a reliable tool for their work.

At Nexus® Cartridges we are passionate about delivering top-quality tattoo cartridges to artists worldwide. Our commitment to excellence drives us to create innovative products that enhance the tattooing experience. We embarked on a journey with a clear mission : to deliver needles that not only impress with advanced technology but also ensure consistent quality.

Every Nexus® cartridge is engineered under ISO 9001-certified manufacturing standards, ensuring controlled, repeatable production across every batch.

At its core, the system relies on premium-grade Japanese 304 stainless steel, paired with U.S. FDA-certified safety membranes designed to maintain stability under continuous use. Lead-free soldering, EO sterilization, and integrated stabilizers are not treated as upgrades — but as baseline requirements.

Because in professional tattooing, reliability is not a feature. It is infrastructure.

Needle grouping geometry is calibrated for consistency under vibration, ensuring that stroke behavior remains stable even during long sessions. Ergonomic grips and balanced internal construction are designed to reduce fatigue and preserve control when precision matters most — especially during extended work on large-scale or high-detail pieces.

The goal is simple: remove friction from the artist’s execution.

In 2024, Nexus® Cartridges earned top recognition in one of Europe’s most comprehensive independent cartridge evaluations, conducted by the artist @lakytattoo. The test was led by Maksim Zotovs, who approached the process with strict neutrality and no brand affiliations.

Spanning a six-month period, the study assessed a broad spectrum of cartridge brands, systematically categorized into three tiers: entry-level, mid-range, and high-end. Each product was evaluated based on key performance indicators, including precision, consistency, durability, and overall user experience. Nexus® Cartridges placed at the top of the high-end category.

Innovation also plays a central role in the brand’s identity. Nexus® offers a wide range of cartridges, with product development strongly driven by feedback from tattoo artists themselves. A notable example is the introduction of a new ergonomic grip in fall 2025. With its convex shape and soft material, it provides optimal comfort and control. This unique design has been recognized as a true innovation and has received design protection in both the EU, USA and the UK. The Design is registered No. DM/247322.

Packaging systems are designed for speed and clarity during active work. Boxes open and close smoothly under studio conditions. Labeling is duplicated on multiple sides to prevent orientation errors during storage. Color-coded identification systems allow artists to distinguish configurations instantly — reducing cognitive interruption in fast-paced environments.

Even inventory management was considered. Integrated barcodes support studios and distributors handling high-volume stock, streamlining organization without disrupting workflow.

While Nexus® operates with a focused engineering mindset, its adoption has expanded internationally through studios, distributors, and artists working across Europe and the United States.

Today, Nexus® products are distributed across Europe and the United States, supporting a growing network of professional tattoo artists and studios who rely on consistent performance in daily practice. In the U.S., distribution is supported through selected professional supply partners.

We strive for excellence, good old fashion customer service, where every customer is heard and treated with respect.
