Pick of the Week 4th August 2025
ALLEGORY BLAK
This week, Pete from Tanuki Tattoo in Hawthorn has chosen a crowd favorite that continues to raise the bar for black tattoo ink: Allegory Ink, Blak.
Why Allegory Blak?
At its core, Allegory Ink is driven by a deep passion for black tattoo inks. The brand is dedicated to creating a product that tattoo artists can rely on, especially during those high-pressure, deadline-driven sessions. Allegory understands that quality doesn’t need to come with a premium price tag but achieving the perfect balance between performance and pigment load is no small task. That balance is exactly what the team behind Allegory set out to master.
Their goal was to develop an affordable ink that artists could trust day in and day out, without ever compromising on quality. Sometimes, the simplest products are the most effective and Allegory Blak proves that. This dark, premium black ink contains zero purple or blue undertones. It’s bold, clean, and uncompromising.
That unwavering commitment to quality, consistency, and simplicity is what has earned Allegory its place as the top choice among world-renowned tattoo artists. Trusted in studios around the globe and proudly crafted in the USA, Allegory inks are safe for all skin types and designed for professionals who expect nothing but the best.
Pete’s Take: A Solid All-Rounder
Pete from Tanuki Tattoo swears by Allegory Blak, and here’s why:
“I do a lot of black and grey realism and I make all of my greywash with Allegory Blak. I really like the finish. Its almost an opaque finish when it heals"
