None of those companies sell "Toxic Ink" (they are all great, caring about the products they sell), You don't have to go slower with your work to use any kind of "pigment" based ink.(The reason that Waverly is so cool is that bill sells a solid product that he'll back up on his own) I use Waverly and tattoo fast as can be.
No tattoo should raise. And after 5 years of tattooing you should have at this point tried everything available on the market to see what works for you.
All of the brands that you named off sell solid products, Ask your mentor why these brands dont' work for you.
