1. BlackoutOpens a new window
Blackout is an all-around black without glycerin, providing the absolute thinnest consistency. Not only is it easy to work with, but it's also super opaque. This allows for strong, fast-moving saturation into the skin. We recommend this ink for black and white portraits, and just about everything else.
Customer Review
“Blackout is the must have ink for all your work. It's easy to work with and super opaque, perfect for strong and fast saturation on the skin.”
– Mario C.

2. Triple Blackout Opens a new window
One of our darkest blacks, Triple Blackout has a high pigment load but no glycerin. The result is an extremely thin consistency that's easy to work with. We highly recommend this bold pigment for shading.
Customer Review
“I really enjoy the consistency of this ink. Some inks make it seem impossible to work with, but this sun is really great quality. It enters the skin super smooth. Super effective and the color retention is insane.”

3. Legendary OutlineOpens a new window
Our Legendary Outline ink is GOATed for a reason, and more than deserves its iconic name. It is THE black ink for World Famous, and our favorite outlining ink for artists because of its thin consistency and lower viscosity.
Customer Review
“I love the heal-out on this ink. Great consistency for linework and solid black packing, along with making a super soft gradient for grey washes.”
4. True BlackOpens a new window
No lies told. Our True Black is a fantastic all-purpose black that falls between Legendary Ink and Pitch Black. With a high pigment load and an outstanding flow rate, we recommend artists use this ink for super dark lining and shading.
Customer Review
“Great ink, perfect shade of black, holds very well.”

5. Pitch BlackOpens a new window
Who turned off the lights? It’s Pitch Black, undoubtedly the darkest of our black pigments. It’s got a high pigment load, heavy concentration, and a gorgeous dark look best for a deep fill. We recommend it for color packing for tribal designs.
Customer Review
“Excellent product and pigment, safe ink.”
