Nocturnal by Bishop Lining & Shading (Various Sizes)

Nocturnal Ink was born from a shared vision between tattoo icons Jack Rudy and Franco Vescovi to elevate the standard of black pigment across the tattoo industry. Created with the professional tattoo supply chain in mind, their mission was clear: deliver a black ink that meets the highest safety standards while offering a smooth, silky consistency and the deep, true black saturation artists depend on. First introduced in 2014, the original Nocturnal formula quickly became a trusted staple for studios worldwide.

Today, Bishop Rotary continues that legacy with Nocturnal by Bishop — available in Super Black, Lining & Shading, a complete Grey Wash set, and Shine White. Developed in collaboration with the expert formulation team at Eternal Ink, this next-generation formula enhances product performance at every level of the supply chain, offering smoother flow, richer saturation, and consistently exceptional healed results that professionals can rely on.

The updated Lining & Shading formula has been refined with a silkier, lower-viscosity consistency to improve workability and control. Designed for versatility, it performs flawlessly for precise linework and smooth shading, and integrates seamlessly with the Nocturnal Grey Wash system. With effortless application and dependable results, this formulation supports artists and suppliers alike with reliable, high-performance pigment for every tattoo.
