Hildbrandt (Tier 3 - invite-only, get noticed first)

Wholesale pricing is advertised as factory-direct but has no published application (the wholesale page 404s), so trade terms go through direct contact: contact form or toll-free 1-888-944-8841, 8am-8pm PST, stated 24-hour email reply. Practical route: buy the Hildbrandt house line direct (Witcher and Weaver rotaries, .44 Winchester and .223 Remington coil shaders, power supplies, Everlast Colors ink), send portfolio photos for the credit, then ask about bulk terms by phone.

Official program page.
ACUS (Tier 3 - invite-only, get noticed first)
Tattoo Machines · HQ: Germany, Berlin
Direct in the US. Direct in Canada.ACUS lists a Pro Team and a Family section of artists on its site, but there is no application form and no stated criteria on those pages. In its own FAQ the brand answers the sponsorship question directly and says it is a two person start-up that cannot afford to give away machines or sign sponsorship contracts, and asks artists to buy one instead. So the roster is filled by the founders and there is nothing for an artist to apply to today. Machines ship from Berlin, with the lithium battery treated as dangerous goods, and US and Canadian shops such as Element Tattoo Supply, BAA Distribution and Maple Tattoo Supply also stock them.
CA Rotary (Tier 3 - invite-only, get noticed first)
Tattoo Machines · HQ: United States, Miami Beach, Florida
Direct in the US. Direct in Canada.CA Rotary is the house line of CA Tattoo Supply, a tattooer owned company founded by Emerson Forth that designs and builds rotary pens, coil machines and cartridges in the USA. The site keeps a sponsored artists roster but publishes no application form, no criteria and no benefits, so the only way in is contact. The programme that is open is for shops, not artists: a Become an Official Distributor link runs to their partner Alliance Tattoo Supply, and that is wholesale, not sponsorship. Artists buy direct from the site, or from named US distributors including Kingpin, Painful Pleasures, Razorblade, Lucky Supply, Bicknee, Salt Water and Pulse; no Canadian distributor is listed, and Canadian orders go through a shipping quote by phone.
Neebol (Tier 3 - invite-only, get noticed first)
Tattoo Machines · HQ: United States, Chino Hills, California
Direct in the US. Canada via distributors.Neebol sells its own machine, cartridge, ink and power lines direct from a California address, so an artist buys from the brand itself. The site names one artist as its brand ambassador and shows influencer reviews, but publishes no artist application page, no criteria and no benefits. The only published offers are a wholesale email contact for bulk packs of needles and consumables and a referral link that gives 15% off to both sides. An artist who wants an ambassador deal has to write to the company, because no form exists.
Ego Rotary (Tier 4 - no direct program)
Tattoo Machines · HQ: UK (Bez / Triplesix)
US via distributors. Canada via distributors.No direct program. Buy and get pro pricing through third-party distributors (Painful Pleasures, etc.), not from Ego. Official program page.
Axys Rotary (Tier 4 - no direct program)
Tattoo Machines · HQ: USA, Greensburg, Kentucky
Direct in the US. Canada via distributors.Axys Rotary sells its machines from its own online store and lists a Distributors page for shops that resell them. The whole public site is five pages, Distributors, Contact, User Manuals, FAQs and a thank-you page, and none of them offers an artist programme, sponsorship, ambassador roster or pro discount, so there is nothing for an artist to apply to. What the brand does publish is a warranty: machines are covered for one year from the date of purchase against manufacturing defects, with repairs handled at their US facility. Artists in the United States can order direct from the brand; in Canada the practical route is a Canadian stockist such as Maple Tattoo Supply, since no Canadian direct-shipping promise is published.
Legend Rotary (Tier 4 - no direct program)
Tattoo Machines · HQ: USA, Lake Elsinore, California
Direct in the US. Direct in Canada.Legend, sold under Legend by CAM Supply, makes rotary pens, coil machines, cartridges and disposable tubes and sells them from its own store, so an artist in the USA or Canada can order directly.

There is no artist application, no ambassador roster and no affiliate percentage published anywhere on the site. Any pro or bulk pricing figures are not published. Official program page.
Ai-Tenitas (Tier 4 - no direct program)
Tattoo Machines · HQ: China, Shenzhen
Direct in the US. Direct in Canada.Ai-Tenitas makes wireless rotary machines such as Prophet and Sketch Steam and sells them from its own store, which ships to the United States and Canada in a stated 7 to 12 business days and covers shipping on orders over 299 dollars. The site has no artist programme: its only partner page is a distributor list, and there is no application form, ambassador roster, affiliate link or published pro discount anywhere in its page list. In the United States it names B-Side, Painful Pleasures, The Needle Parlor and Worldwide as distributors, and in Canada Anarchy, Skintech, Source and Worldwide Canada, so an artist can also buy locally. Anything beyond the store price would have to be arranged by email, because no artist terms are published.
Lithuanian Irons (Tier 4 - no direct program)
Tattoo Machines · HQ: Lithuania, Pabrade
US via distributors. Direct in Canada.Lithuanian Irons is a machine and PMU equipment manufacturer that has built its own machines in Lithuania since 2009.

There is no artist programme on the site: no application form, no ambassador roster, no published artist discount or affiliate percentage. The About page and the whole menu carry no sponsorship terms, so an artist buys either from the US distributor or direct from the brand shop at listed prices.

An artist who wants a relationship here starts by ordering a machine or writing to the shop, not by filling in a programme form.
Shagbuilt (Tier 4 - no direct program)
Tattoo Machines · HQ: USA, state not stated on the site
Direct in the US. Direct in Canada.Shagbuilt is the one person shop of Mike Kruse, who builds rotary and coil machines and sells them directly from his own store. There is no artist programme: no sponsorship page, no pro team, no ambassador roster, no affiliate scheme and no application form anywhere on the site. The only relationship described is informal feedback from tattooer friends before a product launch. To get a machine you order it and wait: the FAQ asks for two weeks from payment, shipping is UPS only, and buyers outside the country carry import fees and duties themselves.
Q Tattoo Machines (Tier 4 - no direct program)
Tattoo Machines · HQ: Switzerland, Schaffhausen
Direct in the US. Direct in Canada.There is no artist programme on this site. Q Tattoo Machines is a one person build shop in Schaffhausen, selling its own motor and frame directly through a cart on the site, priced in Swiss francs.

No North American distributor is named on the site. There is no artist programme of any kind on the pages: no application form, no ambassador or pro team page, and no published artist or trade discount, so pricing is the public price.
Blood Money Irons (Tier 4 - no direct program)
Tattoo Machines · HQ: United States, Canton, Ohio
Direct in the US. Canada via distributors.Blood Money Irons builds coil machines by Rich Helton and Tommy Haley, the A/R Volt Pen rotary, Heavy Hand grips, needles and power supplies, and sells them from its own site. There is no artist programme published anywhere on the site: no application, no pro team page, no ambassador or affiliate terms, and no discount tier for artists. What the site does offer is a custom order form for a personal build, priced on the page at $450.00, and a Special Guest Machine Builder section, which is a collaboration with a builder rather than a sponsorship track for artists. Some models are sold only through Kingpin Tattoo Supply, so if you want those you buy from that shop rather than from the brand.
Iron Inx (Tier 4 - no direct program)
Tattoo Machines · HQ: Not published; the machines are built by hand by Jon Moniz and listed by Hildbrandt Tattoo Supply in Burnaby, British Columbia
US via distributors. Canada via distributors.Iron Inx is a one builder coil machine line made by Jon Moniz and sold through Hildbrandt Tattoo Supply.

Inkstar (Tier 4 - no direct program)
Tattoo Machines · HQ: Not published on any Inkstar page of its own; the line is sold from Hildbrandt Tattoo Supply in Burnaby, British Columbia
US via distributors. Canada via distributors.Inkstar is the entry level machine and kit line carried by Hildbrandt Tattoo Supply, not a brand with a storefront of its own. The domain inkstar.com returns no content, so there is no brand site, no artist page and no application form to open.

No pro team, ambassador roster, affiliate payout or artist discount is published anywhere on the pages that carry the line.

The site has only Shop, About and Contact, and none of these pages mentions a sponsored artist roster, an ambassador team, pro pricing or an affiliate payout. There is no application of any kind to enter, so an artist simply buys at list price from the brand store. In Canada the route is Eikon, whose catalogue lists the Betty V2 under rotary machines.
Dankbuilt (Tier 4 - no direct program)
Tattoo Machines · HQ: Not stated on the site, described only as the back of the builder's own tattoo shop
US via distributors. Canada via distributors.Dankbuilt is one builder making coil machines to order, with a stated wait of 6 to 8 weeks on built to order and custom work. The site sets one condition for buyers, that you are a working professional tattooer, and it offers no sponsorship, no pro team and no application form. The ordering and contact pages linked in the menu return 404 at the time of reading, so the practical route in the United States is buying stocked Dankbuilt machines from a supply shop such as Needlejig. No Canadian route is published on the builder's own site.
