Bishop Da Vinci V2 x Freddy Negrete – Pressed Magnum for Maximum Precision and Soft Shading

This cartridge was created in collaboration with Freddy Negrete, an icon of the black & grey style. It is intended for tattoo artists who require controlled and consistent performance during tonal work. The pressed needle grouping in the Pressed Magnum configuration and the bugpin diameter support a softer touch on the skin and steady pigment deposition characteristic of this edition.

Who Is Freddy Negrete

This edition is based on the long-standing experience of one of the most influential figures in the black & grey style. He chose pressed Magnums for fast coverage and confidence in tight areas. The idea of creating his own series arose during his collaboration with Franco from Bishop Tattoo Supply, who transformed his requirements into the final Da Vinci x Freddy Negrete cartridge.
