In our new article Differences Between Tattoo Ink Brands, we talk about key factors to consider when choosing the best tattoo ink for you and your clients. We cover everything from where inks are made to what they're made of, whether they're stable pigment-based inks or pre-dispersed inks, price, color options, and which brands are considered innovators in the industry. We've compiled those details into the two convenient charts below to give you an at-a-glance view of our findings; they show the general differences between tattoo ink brands as well as a detailed price comparison.

Note: Our price comparisons were made primarily based on the price of a 1 oz. bottle from each brand, since that's the only size that all brands in this comparison consistently offer. All prices are based on the prices found in Painful Pleasures' Wholesale store, minus sales, bulk price breaks and other deals.

For additional information about each of the brands listed here, including their company histories and the key benefits their inks have to offer, please read over our Top Brands in the Golden Age of Tattoo Inks article.
