Why Tattoo Artists Trust Pacon

Its semi-transparent nature allows for precise line placement, easy alignment, and better visibility of the full composition. Whether you're building a portrait, laying out fine line work, or doing bold blackwork, you'll love how clearly your designs show up — even on detailed or complex pieces.
