well i use skincandy and it seems pretty decently thick but not all of theyre inks are that thick some inks are thinner.... not too many people i know like using theyre ink called Blackeye. WAY thick. Intenze is really nice and consistant to work. usually all the inks have the same consistancy and run smooth the true black is really nice as well but too dark and messy for lining unless cut down with 50% sumi. eternal is good and organic. however theyre red was used on me and i had a allergic reaction too as well as the artists using the ink and a few clients. i know Roman as in myspace.com/romanandcholo uses Eternal and the colors look very solid and vibrant, but that is in the users hands to create a good tattoo. ha i use some prizm ink here and there still i love the rootbeer color. its all about personal preferance when it comes down too it. i also like fantasia ink as well very liquidy goes right in.
