Ink Color: Black Outlining Ink
This ink specifically is slightly runnier than other inks I’ve used but it sticks really good and it’s one of the best black inks I’ve seen so far

  • Great Ink
Ink Color: Outlining Black
I am a beginner and still have a lot to learn, but I used this ink for the line work of my first tattoo. It works beautifully. I was a little worried because I have very sensitive skin but it didn't cause any irritation at all. As it's healed, it hasn't faded either. This is a good sized bottle that will last a long time too. ... show more

  • This is OLD SCHOOL
Ink Color: Black Outlining Ink
Kuro Sumi has been around for YEARS! This is a tried-and-true pigment for lining!!! However, we do not use it for filling in tribal tattoos or for super heavy blacks. This ink is somewhat thin/watery and not recommended for filling large areas of black. Our studio will dilute this pigment 1:1 with Dynamic Black ink to create a thicker outlining ink that can also be used for tribals and heavy blacks. Otherwise, use alone for clean outlines that will stay crisp when applied correctly. ... show more
