Inks that dont seem to flow (is it me?)

Being that I’m relatively new to skin art I haven’t had to much opportunity to use a broad amount of products. Today I just laid a small piece on my wrist using Intenze true black lined and fill solid. It was sweet but the ink was different it seemed like there was alot of alcohol in it went in nice but dries

out alot faster than others no complaints can’t wait to see it heal.

The first kit I got was a inkstar from hildbrandt came with freedom ink as practice ink I’ve used it a little here and there not bad goes in easy bu don’t know if it will last. The reason why I created this post was because I did a piece.on my leg with flames using intenze bright orange and some starbright white and I could not get the ink to take so I thought. I overworked the skin pretty bad I’m still not sure maybe some inks just don’t give instant gratification they seem to be coming thru but can’t say I’m happy with the results.
