As a prime member, I received this set as a gift to test out and put it through the works of daily use. These colors blend so well together when doing a portrait, the contrast and tones these inks create are amazing. This set was so thoughtfully put together that when using 3 similar colors that have similar tones and hues, they go together so well to make the perfect blend between the darker tone and the medium tone and the medium tone and lighter tone that the transition is extremely smooth and seamless. So using 3 tones actually gives you 5 total tones, and this set does so much more and is not a one trick pony. Though this set appears to be for color portraits, it can do so much more then that. For example this set works very well for certain color realism pieces, I personally have used this set to do a photo realism floral design. With this set being so versatile, I am thinking about getting Mike's other portrait set and can only imagine how well those 2 sets will work together. I am excited to see what I can do with both sets, Mike's sets allow me to not only give smooth blended colors in my work, but his ink also allow me to push the limits of my design ideas and allows me bring my ideas to life with ease. Thanks for a great set Mike, keep up the good work and keep inspiring and helping artist like myself push our selves and allowing us to take chances on our designs that may not have been possible, but with your ink sets artist can be confident knowing that we can achieve bigger and better designs and ideas. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to our industry. Sincerely Jerry Owner and Artist HoneyBee Tattoos

well thought out set, skin tones are amazing and cut out a lot of color blending and shading. Ink goes in very well without over working the skin. My daughter Tessa loved them as well doing some of her cartoon tattooing. what more can I say It's Intenze Ink
