Subjective question. Use either Intenze Ink or Kuro Sumi Ink.
Yes.
White Kuro Sumi ink is usually regarded as some of the best in the world. As far as white goes i use Dynamic and it is the best i have found. Colors i use Eternal or Skin Candy you will be happy with either one.
Not totally sure about Intenze, but Star Brite Ink is completely vegan.
MOM'S Ink, Skin Candy, Intenze, and Kuri Sumi. These are the only tattoo inks I trust and are most popular. Use the wrong tattoo ink and you'll get a crappy faded tattoo.
Intenze true black holds good and solid for a long time.I find Kuro Sumi black to be great for outline and black/ grey shading, have tried others but always go back to it, as above, the intenze true black works well for tribal. Be carefull buying "ink" online, there has been a lot of fake intenze, starbrite and kuro sumi pigment getting around.
Get some Tattoo ink and put charcoal in it. An oldschool trick( i dont recomend using this) is to use a cloth wick in a jar of petrolium jelly, burn for 2 days, carbon from combustion mixes with the vaso. I recomend buying some kuro sumi, its carbon based.
I've actually used it on a few people....including myself and. Haven't had any problems ....except it doesn't take that well...other than that its all good...but i just got some prism ink and it seems to be a lot better i already have kuro sumi outline and shadeing ink and its awesome but the geijitsu ink works ok for beginning and practicing on practice skin
Kuro Sumi black ink is primarily made from a blend of natural ingredients, including black pigment derived from soot, water, and a binder such as gum arabic. It may also contain additives like glycerin to improve flow and consistency. The ink is known for its rich, deep black color and is often used in tattooing and calligraphy. Always check the specific product label, as formulations can vary by manufacturer.
This is a question that is more of a matter of personal opinion than anything, but the most highly regarded and most used inks on the market are Eternal Ink, Intenze Ink, as well as Star Brite Ink and Kuro Sumi Ink. There are a lot of inks on the market that are of poorer quality and don't go in so well or stay bright over time, but if your artist uses one of the aforementioned inks, you should not have any problems such as this.
it really depends some artists are different than others i have used it before it is ok but sometimes i make my own or i use kabuki. some grey washes have different shades than others try making your own grey wash and try that if u don't like it then try kuro sumi or kabuki or silverback or whatever those so many brands out there oh and by the way if u don't know how to make greywash u shouldn't even be around a tattoo gun ______________________________________________________________________________ ahhh, and if you call it a tattoo GUN, you shouldn't be giving people advice about tattooing
