Bishop Da Vinci V2 x Freddy Negrete – Curved 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, along with the bugpin diameter, supports a softer touch on the skin, steady pigment, and precision in both small and wider detailed areas.

Features and benefits

• Curved Pressed Magnum – closer placement of the needles ensures stable contact and smooth work even on curved parts of the skin.
• Stable movement on the skin – the firm needle seat reduces vibration and supports consistent machine performance.
• Clean line capability – when angled to the side, it enables thin strokes that standard Magnum variants cannot achieve.
• Protective membrane – prevents ink from flowing back into the machine.
• Sterile packaging – single-use, hygienic, and ready for immediate use.
• Compatible with most tattoo machines and grips.

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 collaboration with Franco from Bishop Tattoo Supply, who transformed his requirements into the final Da Vinci x Freddy Negrete cartridge.

Suitable for These Styles

• Black & Grey – transitions without harsh edges.
• Realism – emphasis on subtle elements of the design.
• Chicano – soft shading characteristic of this style.
