Dynamic for me. Absolutely love their ink for the flow, pigment load, fair prices & the amount of progress I’ve seen in my work since switching to only Dynamic.
Ironclad Tattoo ink for all my black and grey, and super dark blacks! You should check them out. It’s made by actual tattoo artists too!
Fantasia has and will always be my favorite. Eternal and Fusion were both modeled after this! I feel it’s way better than them both!!! Been using it since 1997!!!!
My go to is Eternal and Fusion but interested in trying other brands
