And that's a wrap on 2025 (well in 7 days..)
First of all we want to say a huge thank you to everyone who placed an order with us in 2025. Your support is how we grow as a business and it genuinely means the world to us and to the tattoo community, we are so proud to be part of!
Of course it is not just tattoo artists supporting us. We also want to shout out those who simply love tattooing as an art form. Whether you liked or shared a post or commented on one of our silly TikToks it never goes unnoticed and it truly means everything to our small business..
So, what did 2025 bring us?..
2025 was massive. We brought Inked Expo to life and it became the biggest one yet. For those who did not know the owners of MTS Chris and Jess also own Inked Expo and worked around the clock alongside the MTS crew to make it a huge success.
We also introduced a new Monday favorite across our socials with Pick of the Week videos and blogs. This was all about working with artists who shop at MTS and showcasing their favorite products. We teamed up with 30 artists and loved getting to know the people behind the art. Artists joined us in the showroom or filmed from their own studios which allowed us to connect with talent from all over Australia not just Melbourne.
We welcomed some incredible new artists to the MTS pro team. Big shoutout to Matt Inkman, Jessica Holmes, Cara Tigerlily and Matty Thompson. We are stoked to have you on board and joining an already amazing group of artists.
We also dropped some exciting new additions to the MTS staple range. From self sealing machine pouches to our new glove range in both latex and nitrile which are already flying off the shelves. We also released fresh merch so everyone can rep MTS with pride.
And yes! We jumped on the Labubu craze too with our very own Inkybubus. Each one came with a mystery Labubu, matching ink so you could customize your new baby with tattoos making them 10% tougher!
We also welcomed Kendra to the team as our new pick packer, helping get your orders out and assisting customers in the showroom. Welcome Kendra, we are so glad to have you!Â
Thanks to all the participants of Kelly's Tiktoks. We knew you didn't want to do it, but you did and thanks for complying.
Lastly, our entire team absolutely smashed it this year. From packing orders to customer service marketing and everything behind the scenes we did it together and had plenty of laughs along the way. We could not be more grateful for the team and the community that supports MTS!
We cannot wait to see what 2026 brings for the team. We hope to reach even more artists continue growing as a business and keep pushing ourselves to do better. It takes a huge amount of effort but we truly believe in what we are building and, in our ability to provide the best supplies artists need to do what they do best. Thank you for being part of the journey and for backing MTS every step of the way.
We cant wait to do it all again next year, only bigger and better!
