I use Kashoku for all colours and their lining black for all outlines. I use Talens black for solids eg Tribals most of the time, but Kashoku deep black is quite good aswell.
I also use Makkuro Sumi Gray tones for black & greys and shading, it comes as a 3 bottle set light, med and dark. I have only started tattooing a few months ago so haven't tried many different kinds of ink yet. However I went on a tattoo course in Dec and we used MOMS and Skin Candy which both seem good aswell so I guess it's just personal preference.
