Nocturnal Ink was founded from the shared vision of tattoo legends Jack Rudy and Franco Vescovi, with the goal of redefining black pigment for professional tattooing. Combining the highest safety standards with a smooth, silky consistency and deep, reliable darkness, the original formula, developed in 2014, provided artists with a balanced, trustworthy ink they could depend on.

Today, Bishop Rotary continues that legacy with Nocturnal by Bishop — offered in Super Black, Lining & Shading, a full Grey Wash set, and Shine White. In partnership with the expert formulation team at Eternal Ink, this next-generation formula delivers smoother flow, richer saturation, and exceptional healed results, meeting the quality demands of professional studios and suppliers alike.

Refined with a lower-viscosity blend, Shine White glides effortlessly through the needle, providing precise control, clean transitions, and predictable blending. The updated Lining & Shading and Grey Wash formulas also feature a refined consistency for effortless application, improved control, and reliable performance in every tattoo. Designed with supply chain reliability in mind, Nocturnal by Bishop ensures consistent quality for artists, distributors, and retailers across every touchpoint.
