Cryptic Tattoo and Social Gallery was SO excited this week waiting for our big 70 Color Set from Industry Inks to arrive! Our artists had been using 7 different major brands for color inks but we’ve all agreed we’re making the switch - Industry Inks are our favorites for a beautiful palette and a clean heal!!
We aren’t being paid to say this…if you’re a tattoo artist you should check them out!
