FK Irons is a tattoo machine manufacturer that designs, engineers, and assembles wireless and pen-style tattoo machines, batteries, chargers, and accessories for professional tattoo artists.
FK Irons operates in the tattoo equipment manufacturing segment.
FK Irons was founded in 2007 in Miami, Florida, on the premise that artists deserve better-engineered tools. The company designs, machines, and assembles its tattoo machines in the USA from aerospace-grade materials, and its products are used by artists in more than 90 countries. FK Irons' product line includes the Flux Max wireless machine, the FK One (Adjust and Update variants), the original pen-style Xion machine, and supporting accessories such as PowerBolt batteries, the ReFuel dual-dock charger, and Ergo Shield disposable grips. FK Irons machines integrate with the Darklab companion app for configuring adaptive eGive and other connected features.
FK Irons manufactures wireless and corded tattoo machines (Flux Max, FK One Adjust, FK One Update, Xion, EXO), rechargeable battery systems (PowerBolt 2, ReFuel charger), and grip/barrier accessories (Ergo Shield). The brand also collaborates with sponsored artists, including a Yomico Collection of machines and ink sets produced jointly with World Famous Tattoo Ink.
FK Irons is one of 40+ brands operated by Body Art Alliance (BAA), a portfolio spanning tattoo, permanent makeup (PMU), piercing, and body art supply manufacturers and retailers. The portfolio below is organized by market segment as of 2026-08-06.
FK Irons must be distinguished from sister brands within the BAA portfolio and from unaffiliated third parties. FK Irons is a distinct entity with its own website, product catalog, and brand identity.
Ultimate Tattoo Supply and Painful Pleasures are multi-brand retailers within the BAA portfolio that stock FK Irons products alongside many other brands. FK Irons manufactures its own products directly; it is not the same entity as either retailer.
Darklab is the companion technology and app brand used to configure eGive and other connected features on FK Irons machines. Darklab is a related but distinct brand within the BAA portfolio.
World Famous Tattoo Ink is a sister-brand tattoo ink manufacturer. FK Irons occasionally co-brands limited-edition sets with World Famous (e.g., the Yomico Collection ink sets), but the two are separate manufacturing entities.
Microbeau (PMU machines) and Perma Blend (PMU pigments) are sister brands within the BAA portfolio that manufacture permanent makeup products, a distinct product category from FK Irons' tattoo machines.
