DISPATCH AUSTRALIA-WIDE
SINCE 1990
BSTS is an artist-led institution founded by Brett Stewart. Every machine, every cartridge, every ink in our warehouse has been vetted by hands that have spent decades on the skin. We speak your language because we've lived your craft.
NOT A
WAREHOUSE.
A LEGACY.
Brett Stewart Tattoo Supplies was born in 1990, when tattoo culture was still underground and supply lines barely existed. Brett built this business from the ground up — sourcing, testing, and standing behind every product himself.
We're a team who understand deadline pressure in a busy studio, and who pick up the phone when you need us. Three decades later, that hasn't changed.
OUR MISSION
We don't stock everything. We stock the best. Every item is hand-selected based on performance, durability, and artist feedback.
Military-grade inspection on every shipment. We test for consistency, so you never had to worry about a faulty batch mid-session.
Real experts on the other end of the line. Technical advice and order support from people who actually know how the products work.

THE BSTS STORY
From Shop to Shop Across Australia, and Still Going After 35 Years
Brett Stewart didn't start this business from behind a desk. He started it riding shop to shop across Australia on a Harley trike and a multi-coloured Corolla, building trust with artists one conversation at a time. That was 1990.
A toolmaker by trade, Brett brought a craftsman's precision to every product decision. The brands and products you find on this site aren't here because they're easy to source. They're here because they perform when it counts, when your client is in the chair and you need your supplies to deliver.
35 years and thousands of artists later, that same standard still drives every single decision we make.
Tag your work with #bstattoosupplies or mention @bstattoosupplies and we might feature you right here. We celebrate artists who trust us with their craft.
A MESSAGE FROM THE FOUNDER
"In 1990, I started BSTS because I believed Australian tattoo artists deserved a proper supply partner — not a middleman who didn't know the craft. That belief hasn't changed in 35 years.
What has changed is the industry around us. The artistry, the techniques, the technology; it's extraordinary. And we've evolved every step of the way to make sure that when an artist sits down to work, their supplies are the last thing they have to worry about.
This business was built on trust. It's still run on trust. I'm proud of what we've built, and I'm proud of every artist we've had the privilege of supplying."
