3. Bloodline All Around Black 4oz bottle

Check Price

Formerly known as Skin Candy Tattoo Ink, Bloodline began production in 1995. Skin Candy Tattoo Ink was featured on hit TV show Miami Ink, but in 2010 the premium Bloodline product was released, and the company re-branded.

Bloodline manufactures high quality vegan water-based inks in California, where regulations for top quality production are the most stringent in the world.

Bloodline ink uses distilled water to carry the pigment, meaning tattoos heal more quickly. Their black in and color products boast a shelf life of over two years and offer a range of sizes.

The all-around black is perfect for tribal and traditional tattoo or stick and poke straight out of the bottle, while some mixing is required for other methods.
