Just buy it and thank me later

Best all around black. I've gotten 3/5 artists at my shop to switch. It goes in just like Dynamic only it doesn't splatter all over the place. The regular Allegory healed darker than Dynamic triple black. It's the only black I use now.

THE BEST

Only black I will use. Smooth, consistent, and dark when it heals. I do a lot of blackwork and stippling, and I have never had an issue with this ink going in and staying in.

Great consistency

I've used almost every black on the market and Allegory Blak is hands down my favorite. It heals super black without that blue hue. It mixes down for gray wash very consistently.

Nice, deep, black as my soul

I've been trying a few different brands to find my favorite black. This is a top contender. The saturation is awesome and even after healing, it looks beautiful. Very happy with this one.

Best all purpose Black Ink on the market

Allegory ink is my favorite by far! I've tried Silverback, Dynamic, Zuper, etc. And Allegory is hands down my favorite. Goes in easy and heals BLACK AF! You can't go wrong.

Warm, dark black. No blue tint.

Very nice color, ages well. Looks and applies fantastic on darker skin tones. Perfect for saturation. The ink is so potent it's easy to over pigment if you're not careful. Definitely recommended!

My new go-to straight out

I was sketchy about this ink before trying it. I've been at a feel good spot with Dynamic for a while. Gave this a try and I might have found my new go-to. The ink packs into skin like butter. Healing is the main accolade. Looks fresh and stays fresh.

Heals BLACK! Definitely recommend!

This has been the best, darkest healing ink! Allegory Ink is better than Zuper Black, Suma Ink, Mom's Black, Tribal, and any other black ink I have used!

SUPER LINES AND SHADING!

Since Kuro Sumi Outlining ink this is one of the best! Tried almost all outlining inks. Super black ideal for lines also shading. Strong solid and super flow on skin, goes and stays black. Good on all skin types, specially on dark skin.
