We charge a restocking fee for unfounded returns made with no specific reason or concern. In addition, if the returned product requires repackaging due to the packaging being opened or damaged, we will charge a repackaging fee.

Please note any returns for Stigma-Rotary (Greece) and Dan Kubin (USA) are handled directly by the manufacturer themselves. These companies have declared they will take care of all the technical issues with their products directly as this ensures you will get the fastest and best possible service if there is any issues.

If a product with a warranty is sent back to us for repair but it is found the product's function has no issue the customer is responsible for any return and new shipping costs.


Order and product error

If the delivered product is damaged during the warranty period, you can inform us via e-mail or telephone. If the product has a manufacturing defect which is discovered during the warranty period, the manufacturer will primarily offer repair of the product. Products will be sent to the manufacturer for inspection and if the issue is warranty covered the manufacturer will repair the product or replace it. Generally repair times are 2-8 weeks depending on the manufacturer in question. If the issue is warranty covered but the manufacturer cannot repair or replace the product a refund for the product's value will be issued.

The warranty does not cover possible equipment failures due to external factors, such as dropping tattoo machines, over-greasing, engine oiling, or ink leakage inside the machine if you use needles without a membrane.

If a warranty is applicable for your product, this is mentioned in the product description or the invoice.

If the return is due to the customer's own fault (incorrect size, etc.), the customer pays additional delivery costs. We will not refund the original shipping costs.

The aforementioned legitimate interest of the register keeper is based on a meaningful and appropriate relationship between the data subject and controller as a result of the data subject being a customer of the controller and the processing being conducted for purposes that the data subject can have reasonably anticipated at the time of collecting the personal data and in the context of the appropriate relationship.
