I think everyone will give you a different answer.
I have started using silverback stupid black and seems good so far.

I use bloodline and love it. Nice and dark. I have also used moms outlining black and it's really good.

silverback stupid black/insta black, dynamic black are by far the leading blacks

however different stuff works for different people

silverback heals dark as FUCK goes in super easy where it's so thin, lining is easy with it, blends smooth

Dynamic is good value for money lines fills and shades well if your on a budget I'd recommend it.
I also use Pantera inks they cost slightly more but I use two bottles Tribal and liner.
I've also got blacks by Eternal and fusion more expensive again and no real difference.
Hope that helps.

I use Dynamic for the reasons being it works as a great all rounder.
I use it for my lining, I mix it down with white or witch hazel for Grey's and my grey wash system plus it heals nice and dark for tribal. It goes into the skin smooth as he'll.
Can't grumble at 20 odd quid for 8oz and it lasts for ages.

I was going to order Kuro Sumi and when I saw the shipping i decided not to. The 12 oz. Kuro Sumi Outlining ink costs $26.50, and the shipping and handling to Puerto Rico costs $29.91!

i started with Kuro Sumi outlining and grey wash and still use it, it's a safe bet if you are not sure what to buy, you don't really need the grey wash you can just dilute the lining ink, one thing to remember, there are a lot of very good copies out there, the ink is crap but the bottle can fool a beginner into thinking they are buying the real deal so before you buy just ask if anyone has bought from the dealer you are thinking of buying from.

I have just sended a message to Kuro Sumi because I think the shipping price is just extremely high. I hope its an error or something. If they lower the shiping price I will definitely order Kuro Sumi Outlining ink. If they don't I have no idea, Im thinking about intenze Zuper Black but i'm not so sure.

12oz of tattoo ink is a pretty big bottle... shipping adds up when you think about the size/weight... once again 12oz is a hell of a lot of ink for anyone if you aren't making grey washes from it or painting tattoo flash...
