World Class Tattooists, John Montgomery and Joshua Carlton present new line of Professional Tattoo Pigments that focus on Quality, Workability, Permanence and Safety. -By Rev. Chad Wells Highly respected Tattoo Artists, John Montgomery (CA) and Joshua Carlton (IN) are proud to announce the launch of a brand new line of inks created for Tattoo Artists by Tattoo Artists. This Fall, Alla Prima Ink will introduce a full range of colors that contain all FDA approved, cosmetic grade ingredients of the highest possible quality. The pigments will be milled and dispersed under the direct supervision of Montgomery and Carlton in an inspected and approved laboratory using 100% food grade and medical grade equipment guaranteeing their quality, workability and cleanliness. Montgomery and Carlton, with the assistance of a coterie of scientists, cosmetic industry insiders and various advisors have meticulously researched and implemented the highest levels of quality and sanitary practices in regards to the manufacture of Alla Prima Ink as well as the highest level of pigment concentration, saturation and staying power for this top shelf product. Montgomery and Carlton's reputations as artists as well as their high visibility and scrutiny in the tattoo industry, both appearing monthly in numerous magazines and at all the biggest industry events, sets the bar high to produce a quality product. Alla Prima Inks are not a private label vanity product, cranked out by an outside manufacturer to turn a quick buck. These pigments are a labor of love backed by a lot of care, money and hard work, manufactured to give back to the tattoo community instead of taking from it. Alla Prima Ink was first introduced to the tattoo community in early 2008. The ink was designed to help professional Tattooers simplify certain artistic processes and techniques being pioneered in the current arena of high end tattooing. Special effects sets included pre-mixed color to simulate certain effects like realistic blood, bone and skin tones. Each "set" of Alla Prima would include a dark, mid and light color shade that could be blended easily during the tattoo process. The line of ink also included a very rich and workabl e black and white. A set of greywash inks would follow soon after taking the guess work out of that particular style of tattooing. Alla Prima's pre-mixed ink sets would bring a higher level of consistency to styles that were previously achieved by mixing various tones by sight which could often result in inconsistencies in larger tattoo projects. Due to the unanimously positive response to Alla Prima Ink's introductory sets, Montgomery and Carlton have made the decision to dedicate their time to crafting a new, super high end yet affordable full spectrum set of colors. In an industry loaded to the hilt with fly by night companies with no real connection to the world of tattooing, out to exploit the medium's popularity with sub-par products cobbled together in overseas labs with no quality control guidelines, Alla Prima Ink is poised to stand out as a beacon of virtue and to lead the way for future artist owned companies that will hold the standard of high quality products to raise the bar in the world of tattooing ahead of high profit schemes that seek to tear it down.
