Tattoo Industry Manufacturers Alliance is the nonprofit trade association for tattoo ink, PMU pigment, aftercare, device, and supply manufacturers.We exist to protect, educate, and represent the businesses powering the tattoo industry.
WHY WE EXIST
• FDA, OSHA, EPA, ISO, and EU REACH regulations are advancing fast—and our industry is often ignored, misunderstood, or excluded.• Major cosmetic and pharmaceutical trade groups do not allow tattoo-related companies to join.• Regulatory groups and other trade groups often ignore the needs of manufacturers and companies involved in the tattoo industry.• Without a unified trade voice, manufacturers face rising enforcement without representation.
WHAT WE OFFER
• Lobbying, Legal assistance & Advocacy (Congress, FDA, ISO, States): We’re a unified shield during critical moments.• MoCRA, GMP, ISO, and OSHA Readiness: VIP access to documentation, consulting, and training.• Public-Facing Education via Inktegrity: Outreach and bilingual compliance tools for all stakeholders.• Voting Power & Governance: Members shape standards, policy, and the future of our industry.
