Just a question what Pigment is everyone using for my self have been using kokki sumi black for outlining and shading (very black) and kuro sumi for colours and was thinking of trying out millium mums anyone using it already?

i did use scream to start with but found to many problems with it colour fading and reactions to it

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.
