Did a black ink test using 10 top brands blindly tattooing 10 silhouette butterfly’s on in the same area on the same person. Intenze Zuper, Nocturnal, Dynamic, Gorilla Stupid Black, Eternal Maxx Black, Allegory, Kuro Sumi, Solid Black Label, and Moms, Big Meas. Scored them in 3 categories Workability, Darkness, and Healing 2 years later Allegory is still the darkest and it scored a 9/10 in workability and a 9/10. Intenze Zuper scored 2nd and Solid 3rd
It's sad that you don't have that on a video. Would have been really helpful.. Has there been any new addition to that list of yours?? Adding Dynamic TB to that list would be of more help, because it's probably the most famous (extra black) Ink.
I think my favourate is intenze zuper black, how ever when i line i usually add a few drops of dynamic triple black and the line seem to come out consistant most of the time.
definitely panthera ink man XXX Tribal is dope af and their Liner is dark too my clients been tellin me, that they have been geting compliments on all their work lookin like its fresh when its over a year old
I just ordered a small bottle of killer bee ink after watching this. I've been using Zuper Black- love how dark it is but not the best for lining and is very goopy. PLEASE do a video sometime reviewing colored inks🙂
I use dynamic triple black for all of my line work and dynamic for shading and or straight color packing works really well for my style of tattooing as I do a lot of like neo traditional and kind of old school work and I don't use colors I mainly stick to just black inks so yeah works well for me...
Dynamic...and Indian ink are the same ...too liquid... But with right amount of Vaseline or butter and the right voltage it's working.. zupaaa black ...not that black like dynamic blue label... deepness of the needle... And needless itself curved Magnum 27... 0.25mm .. different from a liner or round shader..the tip of the needle makes a lot.. long tip vs regular. . Place on the body..type of skin and so on ...I use dynamic... with a bit of glicerol for to make it thick...but all of us using different techniques angle of the the needle how hard you stretch the skin voltage ... tattooing it's and art on constantly progress and development.. thank for the review and for to take your time for make the video and share your experience.. bless
Hey i am going to make my first tatoo this year can you sugget me best black and colour ink for indian skin please. My one side of hand is wheatish and other is ok fair. Please suggest me one intense black and one colour ink best for indian skin tone please
@@claudiosaldivia5646 i heard some word quantum is best? What is his quantum ? And which one is best in zooper, intense and dynamic? My hand is one side wheatish so need darkest black.
Hey 7th, have you tried allegory. Litteraly the best black I've personally tried. My healed linework is darker than some of the people in my areas fresh tattoos.
@@brianjennings261 i bought the big sleeps ink to try it and I don’t like it. Seems a bit thicker than allegory. It also doesn’t seem to wipe away real easily.
Nice review and good unbiased approach. What about the standard options such us Dynamic black, Panthera black ink etc.? From the newer blacks there seem to be good opinions about Sacred black and Formula 23 by Intenze. Another surprisingly good one imho is Harajuku Outlining Sumi. Keep it up!
I was going to order dynamic but then that whole recall thing happened so I didnt. And formula 23 was my next purchase if I didnt like this one. I still might try it out. But as of right now I'm happy with the ones I have. What one do you use
I have tryed a number of black inks some good some not so good i have also tryed formula 23 and it is a good dark back heals nice only problem is whenever u wipe the ink it seem to be very hard to come awy from the skin and can remove the stencil so thats why im trying big sleep ink from that reason
in Spain the only inks which are approved by the Spanish government are Panthera & Skin colors everything else is not allowed , my personal favourite black lining ink was Mario Barths Gold Label lining black or Intenze's dimension black & sculpting black depending on what i need it for
@@ThatTattooGuyOfficial in Spain when the environmental health come to you tattoo studio it's not really to see how clean you are it's to test your ink to make sure you're only using government approved inks but these rules don't apply if your doing a tattoo convention
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I just Freaking love you.. I can't with you. Def. Talented and just hilarious. I love that you don't take yourself too seriously with these videos. The more I see, the more I wanna watch you 😂. Need to meet you one day.. ,😜
I have been using Kuro Sumi since i first started and then switch to Dynamic. Another artist in the shop just got some inks from Xtreme Inks. So far there Super Black is working with me. It goes in easy and stays dark and solid. Ended up getting my own bottle of super black and tried out there basic set. There Blue is bright and vibrant and the white pops in my clients skin.
I’m an apprentice for a very well known artist. I’d recommend dynamic black for lining and dynamic triple black for those darkest shades. I wouldn’t use triple black in a gray wash.
I have line work done of an anchor ⚓ don't ask me why I got an anchor I'm not even in the navy but I got it of zuper black and it was just the line work of the anchor but I got it on that little soft tissue on the neck that when you press on it you can feel a little crater. That's where I got it at . I feel it is to thick for an area like that . I actually like the thinner black inks due to carcinogens .
The liner black specifically is very smooth and very black, heals are allways great. Makes for a great gray wash system as well. Honestly I can't find anything that heals more black then this
Hey! Where do you purchase the allegory black ink? I was looking on Amazon but a little skeptical cause reviews are saying that the product comes in damaged\leaking
@@LTV23 I got it from a local supplier here in Portland, OR. Coalition tattoo supply. You can also get it from them directly on their website, Tatsoul sells it as well. A few other reputable places sell it
@@slottedpig2253 thank you so much! I am getting into doing fine line tattoos and I made a rookie mistake of trying out moms brand of black from Amazon and the healed results look super faded 🥲 thanks for bringing up allegory! I just ordered it !
could not agree more bout the silverback - its hard to get it in there even packin straight black , makin own wash is just not happening . but they are supposed to heal with a little silver white shine in the grey so that tone looks kinda cool . but it takes forever to get it in for sure . zuper black by intenze is a tripple black so outlines are not the way to go , even have to water it down little if packin and it still heals sold dark black . BUT had no idea it was good for greywash ? have you tried out the brand solid ink ?
Can you do a comparison of dynamic black and dynamic triple black. Or has anyone used both. Which would u say is darker. I do know that dynamic is known for it being thin but really dark
Oh gooooddd sooo yesterday i finished a mandala on myself using Intenze and the linining was sooo tricky, had to go over them again and it just doubled the process. It's so thick I called the seller and complained that something was wrong with it when I first bought it!😂 Clogs the tip as well ugh... It's black but too tricky for me
I am very disappointed with the Intenze Zuper Black ink, the result is a bluish black. I wish I had known before I bought it, because it is published as the deepest black in intense and it is not like that. Even Eternal Ink Linning results in a darker black.
Ive been a fan of zuper black for many many years, recently I tried the dynamic since I see lots of people using it and i put it in the garbage, I dont know how this people are even using that ink.
You hit that on the head with the silver back i bought the black thirteen greywash kit and i wasnt impressed with the dark and black thirteen it was watery couldnt pack with it very messy runny
Have you tried nocternal lining black yet. So far my favorite, but my big sleeps just came in today actually so havent got to use ill update either tonight or tomorrow night and let you know I got the pelican bay and killer bee with the blue magic set. But that nocternal flows amazing goes in the skin great and stays dark
@@ThatTattooGuyOfficial love it, its almost like the skin was pulling it in, it went in so well lining and color packing. I added a few drops of thay blue magic, guess its supposed to add a silver hue to the tattoo when it heals. Looking forward to seeing this healed. Also id like to say thanks for the content you share one here.
I have black onyx ink and it looks like how puddles look after rain. Oil slick type look in the ink. Like something isn’t mixed right. Shook the container and everything. Is the ink okay to use?
I would like some help I have an eyebrow tattoo I used starbrite tattoo ink and it turned green after a while... I'm in search for a black ink that doesn't turn green .. and recommendations??
couldn't I just take the zuper black and thin it out with something to make it easier for lining? Also, thank you so, so, so much for your content. I'm a learning artist and just bought the Valhalla with my covid check.
so u best recommend the intenze super black for black and gray most than for linning....i have done a couple tattoos using that super black and it doesnt heal as the color u put it in as u said it does...when its heals it stays way lighter why u think so????
Dorian Chi zuper black is not a super great lining black. It’s very thick. And I’m not sure why it healed different I would have to look at it to get a better idea of what happened
where do u buy that killer bee i k i saw there website but they onky have the golden sticker one i am looking for that exact black and white one bottle ?
It depends what color of skin are you tattooing..for us brownys every black ink will turn up within few years kind of green..because if you mix black with brown of course it will turn kind of green and with white people mostly will turn up blue within the years...have you look at some tribal work from the 90s early 2000..all of them are kind of blueshis!!
Thanks for the info haha u doing great 😬 u convinced me to go 100 % to become gay!!! 🤣 By d way can u suggest what best brand for color Inks has very good quality??
The killer bee black is great and dark... but the zuper black is even blacker I think. The only thing is zuper black is thick so it will take longer to fill large areas of black. They are both awesome tho!

I'm gonna pick (pantera tribal)
Triple black vs allegory ultra… testing this as soon as it arrives at the shop!
I use Dynamic for lining and zuper black for shading/black work. Good combo that’s worked great for years. Going to have to try big sleeps now though
I tried big sleeps is for me really great...runs good stays blacks...diluted for really light graywashes it works great
I think my favourate is intenze zuper black, how ever when i line i usually add a few drops of dynamic triple black and the line seem to come out consistant most of the time.
Bro I actually use black pearl black. I hate mom's colors never used them but the black has a real smoothness and goes in easy..imo , i subbed also
Nocturnal ink lining and shading 👍🏽👍🏽👌🏽👌🏽
I would highly recommend Allegory InK! It’s worth trying in your rotation for sure.
Allegory is deeper than intenze? No?
Big Sleeps killing it! Best black I’ve used so far!
For sure!
Bought me a set of that!!!
definitely panthera ink man XXX Tribal is dope af and their Liner is dark too

Zuper is not for lining with.

@@ThatTattooGuyOfficial one of my favorite blacks allegory
DYNAMIC for sure the best for me I have tried all the blacks you showed and DYNAMIC is for me.
Intenze zuperblack!!!! Thers no better black ink but its very high pigmented and hard to work with
Pantera XXX triple black and lining black is solid too
My girlfriend ordered Killer Bee Black for me and it’s definitely been my go to since
I use allegory blak its pretty good but I wanna try the big sleeps ink. Those dudes do some crazy lettering work.
Did a test using 10 top inks two years ago and two years later allegory is the clear winner
@@brianjennings261 i bought the big sleeps ink to try it and I don’t like it. Seems a bit thicker than allegory. It also doesn’t seem to wipe away real easily.

Can’t believe dynamic triple black or world famous blackout didn’t make the list
Mix your zuper black with Alil intenze black Sumi. It'll flow smooth for the lining process.
I like dynamic triple black and empire for gray wash
High contrast and fast and clean working for sure
You give the best reviews bro
Thank you!
in Spain the only inks which are approved by the Spanish government are Panthera & Skin colors everything else is not allowed , my personal favourite black lining ink was Mario Barths Gold Label lining black or Intenze's dimension black & sculpting black depending on what i need it for
