Types of tattoo ink. There are many, many companies out there. There are a lot of really
reputable companies. I love Eternal. It's a very good ink. I'm actually going to have
my own artist series of ink that should be coming out soon. Eternal is really good. There
are a lot of companies. There's really a huge market of ink. For blacks, I use a Katsumi
outlining black. There's Dynamic, there's Talons, there's old Pelican. A lot of people
do black and gray work and they use the old school Pelican. It's really hard to find now,
but that's what they learned with. That's what I learned with. I prefer Katsumi just
because it's versatile enough for me to be able to line and gray wash and it still be
really soft, because it breaks down really well. Some blacks don't break down a lot and
some have a little blue tone to it. They're all different. So, it's really a personal
touch, what you work with and what you get used to. Eternal has a really huge line of
colors and I use that. It's really a personal thing.
