Alpha Markers Chisel and Brush Tip - 2 Options

Freehand work lives or dies on control, and the Alpha Markers – Chisel & Brush Tip are built specifically for tattooing on skin. Developed with real shop feedback and years of refinement, these markers give artists the ability to sketch, flow, and adjust designs directly on the body with confidence.

Now fully alcohol-based, these markers lay down smooth, bold lines that stay crisp while still being workable during the design phase. The brush tip gives you fluid, organic strokes for curves and shading, while the chisel tip is made for bold lines, lettering, and clean structure. Different tip styles let you control line weight and style without switching tools mid-flow.

The updated formula is wetter for better ink flow, but still holds sharp edges, and the stencil ink is stronger than previous versions, setting firmly after a short dry time. Designed by artists like BJ Betts and Big Sleeps, these markers are built for real-world tattooing—where placement, flow, and readability matter more than anything.

ALPHAMARKERS 2.0 ARE HERE. 

We listened to your feedback and with 2 years extra of development time and your feedback we have come up with exciting new changes to the markers. 

1. No more watercolor markers. Many artists were confused by the process so we simplified and now all the markers are alcohol based. 
2. The Stencil Markers are now much stronger and when left to dry for 10 minutes they take real effort to remove. 
3. Chisel and Brush tips (Available separately) on BOTH of the ALPHA BETTS and BIG SLEEPS editions. 
4. Chisel XL. The evolution of freehand lettering for those who go huge. Gothic/Caligraphic fonts are now easy to lay out on the body and crisp lines await your touch. 
5. Even more juice! The markers are wetter than ever but still stay very crisp. 

Alpha Markers came to be by answering a basic question: why is there not a premium marker for creating great tattoos? 

By drawing on skin you can give the flow and fit to body or space. BJ Betts developed these with methods that have worked for him for the past 2 decades. He hopes to put these markers in your hands, to allow your work to shine.
