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.

Advantages and features

• 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

Behind the creation of this edition stand the long-term experiences of one of the most significant representatives of the black & grey style. He used pressed Magnums for fast filling of sections and confidence in tight areas. The idea to create his own line arose during the cooperation with Franco from Bishop Tattoo Supply, who managed to transform his requirements into the final form of the Da Vinci × Freddy Negrete cartridge.

For which styles it is suitable

• Black & Grey – creating contrast in black and grey.
• Realism – smaller portrait sections.
• Chicano – natural darkening typical for this style.
• Soft shading – light application of ink without hard edges.
• Detailed motifs – ideal where delicacy and control are essential.
