ill tell you its not intenze. that s&!t is thick like pancake batter. dosent go in solid at alllllllll. ive tried mixing my own with dynamic white and intenze, but it still didnt cover right (and actually ended up getting overworked and scabby, ew). so a little help?

I tend to like the thinner pigments myself, as it seems you do to. My homeboy here at our shop runs some really thick pigments and sometimes I wanna use some of his colors, I just cut it a little with some whitchhazel or distilled water and that usually works for me. Are u using a longer taper needle? Some short taper or textured would prolly help out as well.

textured 11 mags from luckys. i dont want to dilute the color, just find another brand that is thinner to begin with.

alright, my starbrites are bad ass and their teal is kinda like a sea foam and way bright, slips right in and and no over working at all, if I need a super close sea foam I just add a little lime green and blamo sea foam.

i had tried mixing my own, but it still seemed to have gotton overworked. it was 2 times on the same guy though. maybe ill try it again on someone else. my boss has an eternal seafoam ill give that a shot and report back.

some colors that are thinner, i have to turn my machine down to work in and move slower. if the colors seperately work, there isnt a reason they shouldnt when mixed, given they are the same brand, or dispersion. sometimes with lighter colors is takes a while to see when its in, or when it isnt. its weird. i had problems with intenze light blue, i under worked, over worked, everything in the span of a week, until i slowed my hand speed down a bit, and really took my time. reds fly in for me, some other colors i have to pay better attention to.

good luck
