What's the best way to make pitch black tattoo ink?
Burn the sole of a shoe. Works in prison.
Ask the tattoo parlor to put a shot of white in regular black ink

I like this new meme.
Literally buy it
Do not fuck around with shit that you are putting inside your body, especially if it's intended to look nice afterwards.
burning animal bones using high temp / low oxygen methods is a traditional way of making pure black pigment. It'll probably give you cancer though.
Lamp soot is a very common black pigment

Horishi apprentice here, not that it matters. There's some black inks that could fill your request. Keeping in mind that the job should be done by a professional with the proper materials. The area should be taken care too, careful with the sun exposure in he first days after getting the job done.
Indian ink
Micky sharpz
Star bright
Millennium ink
Keeping in mind the difference between the outlining ink and the shading/painting ink.
It's kinda underground, but, some tattoo artists in Japan/Korea in studios/parlors that I worked fabricated their own ink.
You can boil this down until it's concentrated, although it can be hard to find now.

Yes
I work in the tattoo industry and not as just some random shit artist or apprentice, I work with big name artists to develop products based off requests and feedback. But really just buy it most diy shit fades really fast. Eternal ink has some real nice black ink that stands up quite well from what I've seen.
In general though if you get a tattoo keep sunscreen on it all the time it will stay crisper and hold its color way better for a much longer time.

The prison i was locked up in had a recipe everyone followed with their own deviation. The best I've seen is newspaper that's had a flammable pomade rubbed on it, twisted up then burnt. You then use the person who is getting the tattoos urine and some pomade to get the desired viscosity. The

i dont get it
I've taken a short vacation from diy, could someone gimme a quick rundown or screencap on this shot of black thing.
OP: create a wick and burn a reservoir of baby oil as if it were a lamp, capture the soot inside of a mason jar, scrape, collect powder, mix with whatever base you decide on.

A really nice house painter revealed a secret of the trade in this thread, and /diy/ showed no appreciation at all:

"OP: put the cheapest flat white crap you can buy on a ceiling. Ask the paint store to "put a shot of black" in it, and they will know you are a pro. That makes it the tiniest bit grey, and covers 100x better than regular ceiling white."

watch out guys we got a pro here

It works. :^)

Just buy black ink. You don't want to fuck around making stuff because it won't be as good as the pro stuff and you don't want the tattoos to look shitty down the line.
