HIGGINS INK BLK W/P INDIA 1 OZ

Used for a stick and poke tattoo, hasn't infected or anything, looks great, would recommend.

Higgins is a classic ink brand that's been around since the 1880's. This India ink is nice and dark, and waterproof as well. I like to draw illustrations in this ink, then use watercolor over it, and this ink will not bleed, it's completely waterproof. It will not fade either. ***A very useful tip I've learned through much experimentation and research: - Pigment-based ink is waterproof, doesn't bleed or get blotchy. Best for clean lines, using with mixed-media (watercolors on top of it once it dries), and it's archival quality (meaning it won't fade over time). This India ink is pigment-based. - The other type of ink, dye-based ink, is NOT waterproof, it WILL fade with sun exposure, and it can get splotchy (unless there's a shellac mixed in to make it less splotchy and acts more like pigment-based in that sense). This ink is also good if you like to use a brush to paint it, as it spreads out like watercolor and you can dilute it for that effect as well. (Both types of ink have their benefits and different strokes for different folks. I use both depending on what I'm doing, so there's no right or wrong, just different characteristics depending on the artist.)

Ha llegado bien, es lo que esperaba. La esperaba un poco más grande pero poco da para mucho, con ganas de usarla.

i have looked a long tome for a substantial india ink. i used to use carters, and could never find anything of equal quality and viscosity. this will give a slight raised appearance as carters did, but not as glossy as carters. this is a really gorgeous deep black thick outlining or showcard ink. i am really pleased with it.

Muy buena tinta para mis plumas fuente, tiene un negro bastante profundo, no como otras que a contra-luz cambian de tonalidad.
