From Petelo Suluape
"I've been tattooing since I was a young man, using traditional inks. Now, so many years later, I can honestly say that Suluape Black is the best black for traditional or general tattooing that I have ever used. It is a sacred thing to attach my family's name to a tool used in tatau, and it is an honor to have worked with INTENZE to make Suluape Black a reality."

"I was very fortunate to work closely with Mario and the team at INTENZE to create the perfect ink for tatau (traditional Samoan tattoo) and contemporary tribal tattoos...and this is it...I am very happy and extremely proud for Suluape Black to be a part of the INTENZE family... I have been tattooing for more than ten years, with our traditional formula.
Tattoo ink has come a long way over time, and now, combining the old world with the new, Suluape Black by INTENZE is by far THE best ink in the industry for both traditional and modern tribal tattoos. Its quality is unsurpassed! Suluape Black by INTENZE gives my work a unique radiance and because it's INTENZE, I know that my clients are completely safe. "
