Want to know what "Powered By Eikon" means to US?
Yes, we design and make power supplies - that’s what most people know us for. What you might not know is that at our core, Eikon's purpose has always been to “power” artists in as many ways as possible.
In fact that purpose is what’s been powering us for 27 years! emPOWERing artists to be able to do their best work...
How have we been doing that?
Knowledge is Power: We created the first metered tattoo power supply in the world - so artists could see how their machines were running. We published and shared in-depth research with artists. We also published Machinegun Magazine which was a quirky and informative resource for many artists. Today we’re bringing you Point to Point interviews where we take you behind the needle and share artists’ personal journeys. Drawing inspiration, spreading respect, sharing the love.
The Power to Choose: We offer a curated selection of thousands of high quality products, from trusted brands, for every need you may have in the shop. We also offer several convenient payment options, local pickup for area artists, and more ways to reach our super Customer Service team, with chat, phone and email options available in both English and French.
“SuperPower” We obsess about logistics and shipping so we can deliver your supplies safely and quickly to your shop's door every day, this includes placing heat packs in your ink order every winter so it doesn’t freeze. Our Customer Service team receives regular product knowledge training so they can assist you with purchasing decisions and provide you with the best support possible.
That's what “Powered By Eikon” means to us! We can't wait to see what it means to you!

The judging panel will count for 75% of the artwork’s final grade, and the popular vote will count for 25%.
The entries with the highest combined scores will determine the prize winners.
