Bamboo is renowned as one of the world’s most renewable and environmentally friendly plants. It is the fastest-growing woody plant in the world. Astonishingly it can grow up to a metre a day. Bamboo is a naturally renewable tree-like grass. An extremely efficient plant to cultivate, Bamboo does not need pesticides and herbicides to flourish and has minimal water needs.
Revolutionise your hygiene and health routine!
Bamboo hand towels from Holdfast Tattoo Supplies are not only incredibly soft and luxurious, but they also possess unique properties that make them ideal for maintaining hygiene and promoting good health.
Eco Friendly Bamboo fibres have natural antimicrobial properties, meaning they naturally resist the growth of bacteria, mildew and other microbes. This makes bamboo towels an excellent choice for reducing the risk of skin infections and allergies.
Super Absorbent
Additionally, bamboo towels are highly absorbent outperforming traditional cotton towels. This means they can effectively wick away moisture from your hands, keeping them dry and fresh throughout the day. Using soft natural fibre Bamboo Hand Towels can, with soft gentle pats, efficiently dry your hands and face very quickly.
Super Hygienic
Say goodbye to unpleasant odours! Bamboo towels have excellent natural odour-resistance capabilities ensuring that they stay fresher for longer periods. No more worrying about that damp towel smell! Bamboo hand towels don’t contain any chemical compounds so worry free drying.
The Healthiest Choice in Hand Care
Suffering from allergies or sensitive to fabrics that are synthetic? Bamboo Fibre is a perfect alternative to consider. Bamboo Fibre Towels will absolutely provide you with a softer and superior drying experience and be kinder to your skin. Additionally, having a luxurious feel and being considerably lighter in weight than cotton, better qualifies bamboo fibre hand towels as a natural choice.
Treat Them Nice
Machine wash your Bamboo Fibre towels separately in warm water on the gentle cycle. We highly recommend Lemon Scented with Eucalyptus & Rosemary Koala Eco Natural Laundry Washing Liquid. This amazing Laundry Liquid combines two of nature’s best 100% natural antibacterial agents in one powerful, aromatic formula. The biodegradable and eco-friendly plant-based formula effortlessly delivers a thorough and effective wash. And importantly without the use of harsh chemicals! Koala Eco Natural Laundry Washing Liquid is totally safe for sensitive skin. It is Grey Water and Septic tank friendly too! Please don’t use bleach or fabric softeners in the washing process. Tumble dry on an extremely low heat if you need. Prolonged exposure to direct heat from the sun can damage bamboo fibres.
Make a change today
For all the reasons you should, consider a swap to Bamboo Natural Fibre. A completely natural fibre that takes minimal resource to grow and process. Support very worthwhile efforts towards sustainability which is great for the planet. Provide soft, comfortable and complete drying comfort for your hands and face. Like our lovely customers, we too enjoy all the benefits of using our Luxurious Bamboo Fibre Hand Towels. By choosing all natural fibre, eco-friendly bamboo hand towels, you’re not only making a truly beneficial change for your own benefit, but also contributing to a positive impact on the environment.

We are navigating difficult times at the moment as business owners. The world has changed from the ‘Covid Experience’ we have all endured. Some sadly did not survive this devastating event and lost their businesses. The price was very high to include mental trauma and considerable distress.
The Current Situation
So where are we today? The price of everything is on the increase as we come to grips with the dreaded ‘inflation’ which puts all costs and subsequent spending completely out of whack. Of course there are mechanisms put in place to counteract this situation but these will take time to actually work. In the meantime there will undoubtedly be pain and disruption.
It Affects Us All
No one is immune to the world wide phenomenon of price increases. Holdfast Tattoo Supplies has taken some heavy increases not only in product cost but also the cost of International Freight. It seems every time we place an order, product prices have increased and added to that the freight costs are significant too.
The Exchange Rate
To add to the mix, every product imported into Australia is paid for in US Dollars. Given the volatility with the exchange rate over the past year, and how low the Australian Dollar has been against the USD this just adds another dimension to the whole game. Just say the exchange rate is .65 then to purchase 1 US Dollar will cost $1.53. It’s tough out there.
Product Availability
This is also compounded by the fact that many products are in short supply. We all have to be mindful of this fact. We totally understand that without the products you use every day then you simply have no way of keeping your business viable.
A Classic Example
Spirit Transfer Paper is a classic example. As an approved distributer we have to wait anywhere between 4 – 6 months for our orders. This of course has a compounding effect on our stock availability.
We’re Doing Our Best
Holdfast Tattoo Supplies has been extraordinarily resourceful and has a relationship with suppliers in the US who have shared their stock. This fact has meant that we have only been out of stock a few times but only for a week maximum. Unfortunately this is reflected in the current cost.
Educating
We hope this blog helps you understand from a suppliers situation. We are all bound to the current economic climate we are all operating in. No one is immune to how we are effected.
Our Solution
Have a close look at your operating costs. Every business should be doing this as a priority. Break down the costs of doing a minimal tattoo and ask ‘is this worth it at this price – are we being adequately compensated’? For our part, we are doing our best to keep product in stock but being aware of all our costs to give the best service possible and remain viable. It’s a bit of a juggling act but that’s the game of being in business, longevity and being viable.
Its always wise to protect your cashflow. Holdfast Tattoo Supplies offers Wizpay to all our valued customers. Wizpay is a very user friendly payment platform where you can spread your payments. Conditions do apply.
All the very best to our clients for 2023. We appreciate you all and are grateful for the continued trust you have in Holdfast Tattoo Supplies.

Naturally of course, knowing this we encourage all users at all times to be compliant with regulations and all safety aspects when disposing of single use products.
