Jack Rudy and his peers revolutionized the genre of black and grey, fine-line tattooing making it one of the most popular styles found in today’s culture




During nearly 40 years of tattoo creation, Jack Rudy always felt, black & gray tattoo style need spend more effect, compare to color tattoo style. Color tattoo series can make different atmosphere with different colors, shading cooperatively, while black & gray need artists have well-knit grounding in art, grasp the object structure accurately, descript more details of the tattoo image, meanwhile use the high quality black ink, according to tattoo skill, also involved in tattoo maintain in the end. All these things should be considered into a whole work, so that make a good gray & black tattoo work. 




Jack Rudy makes tattoo work creation process, he still found there are some places that did not make well, even if he became famous, when he taught his students, he also found same questions during his students’ tattoo works, the reasons are from multiple aspects. 


For examples: making totem tattoo works

1. Pigment blackness is not enough, partial gray, not clear and poor anti-color effect

2. Black but not bright, no shine and poor effect of close look 

3. Appear turning green after a few period, special in the light, anti-color effect is poor, during the time passing





Making black & gray shade work

1. Pigment mixed uneven makes color effect poor

2. Pigment level uneven makes excessive unnatural, shade poor 

3. Pigment blackness are different during twice mixing times, results in appear obvious graded in the whole work, integrity not well




Jack Rude found all recent black pigment existed some issues, such as color cast, partial blue, grey, no one black pigment can be suited for the requirement of tattoo artists, therefore, he always feel very pity until he met Franco Vescovi (Franco Vescovi is the founder of Bishop supply, meanwhile he has over 20 years tattoo experience)




Jack Rudy discussed with Franco Vescovi about the problem of current black pigment, submit the improved method, he thought as one kind of black pigment, firstly, make sure it is safe, secondly is the blackness level, base above two points, make to improve black & gray shade graded. In order to solve the trouble of tattoo color, Jack Rudy though it is necessary to produce a kind of black pigment that has strict design, safe and efficient level black, in order to solve pigment uneven, black level uneven, different blackness between twice times, during tattoo works. 




Franco Vescovi was agreed with his idea, after their long time discussion and testing, we develop a new black pigment, named “Noctural”. After more than one hundred well-know tattoo artists tested, got all good feedback. So they issued “Noctural” series into marketing officially in the beginning of this year. “Noctural” series will be satisfied the requirement of black & gray pigment from tattoo artists.
