Understanding Category 4326
The Tattooing Supplies category (ID 4326) covers professional equipment and consumables utilized by tattoo artists. It is a level-three category nested under Business & Industrial > Piercing & Tattooing within the Google product taxonomy.

What Belongs Elsewhere
Do not list items related to body piercing here, as these belong in the Piercing Supplies category. Additionally, specialized protective equipment or general health supplies should be mapped to their appropriate industrial or medical categories rather than this specific tattooing section. Ensure your items are strictly related to the act of tattooing and not general apparel or salon furniture.
Using Subcategories
Always opt for a more granular subcategory if available, such as Tattooing Needles, Tattooing Inks, Tattooing Machines, or Tattoo Cover-Ups, to ensure the most precise classification for your specific inventory items.
Feed Implementation
Include the google_product_category attribute using the ID 4326 or the full path Business & Industrial > Piercing & Tattooing > Tattooing Supplies. While optional, providing this value prevents Google from miscategorizing your products, and it is independent of your internal product_type mapping.
