The tattooing profession deserves
its own marketplace.
A place where you can resell a machine, equip yourself, discover a manufacturer, brand, or creator, or find a product truly designed for your daily professional life.
Because such a specific profession should not rely solely on generalist platforms, private groups, or the randomness of social networks.
The findings
The daily life of a tattoo artist does not boil down to just tattooing
Over the course of their practice, a tattoo professional buys, tests, replaces, resells, and evolves a large quantity of equipment and gear.
- Machines and power supplies that evolve with your practice
- Furniture and equipment to furnish a studio apartment
- Accessories, consumables, care products, and hygiene products
- Equipment that remains perfectly functional but no longer matches one's practice
- New products and solutions to discover as the profession evolves
Yet, these needs often remain scattered among specialized suppliers, social networks, private groups, generalist marketplaces, and professional recommendations.
The requirements
Tattooing is not a market like any other
Certain products used in tattooing are subject to specific technical, health, or regulatory constraints. Others simply must meet the very specific realities of a studio and daily practice.
- Health and safety requirements depending on the products
- Professionals responsible for the products they use or market
- Issues of traceability, sterility, or expiration depending on the categories
- Needs very different from those of the general public
That is why Solutat remains specialized: buyers belong to the professional tattooing community, and outside sellers are only welcomed when their products are truly relevant to this clientele.
The solution
To unite what has been scattered
Solutat was first created to provide a genuine framework for the second-hand tattoo equipment market. But this need revealed something broader: there was a lack of a specialized place where professionals could find various aspects of their equipment.
Without dedicated space
- Secondhand scattered
- Consumer platforms
- Hard-to-discover independent brands
- Purchases distributed across numerous channels
With Solutat
- New and used equipment
- Manufacturers, creators, brands, suppliers, and resellers
- Selected sellers and products
- Secure payment and transactions
Two forces
Circulate what exists. Uncover what is arriving.
Second-hand remains essential at Solutat. A machine that no longer suits one professional can become exactly the one another was looking for.
But the profession is also moving forward thanks to those who manufacture, imagine, and develop new products for tattoo artists.
- Give a second life to equipment that is still perfectly usable
- Enable professionals to better control their investments
- Discover selected manufacturers, builders, creators, brands, suppliers, and retailers
- Provide access to products selected for their real usefulness in the profession
- Bring together these different markets in a specialized environment
The vision
Build a reference for the profession
Solutat is not intended to become a general-purpose marketplace where anything can be sold.
The platform remains built around a professional tattoo clientele, with a selection of sellers and products consistent with its needs.
Used equipment, new hardware, furniture, accessories, equipment, treatments, manufacturers, independent creations, brands, specialized suppliers or resellers: the offering can evolve as long as it remains relevant to the profession.
The ambition of Solutat is simple: to become the place where tattoo professionals come to buy, sell, and discover what truly supports their practice.
