Gloves just went up in price, so I'm looking for alternatives. My favorite is Blackjack by Defend but the price is just too high.
Ive tried Adenna as well and some generic nitrile but didnt like them as much as the Blackjacks.
Any ideas? I want to stay with black gloves. What do you use?

Adenna phantom or black dragon. Adenna night angel if someone is allergic to latex

Opus gloves are amazing they stretch and feel like latex but are made of nitrile .... They are inexpensive too.... 70$ for a case of ten boxes. They are not black but they are a cool color blue. ..not doctor blue. Lol I used to only use black dragon but once I tried the opus gloves I was hooked... Even though they aren't black. And they have textured finger tips too-! Lol

There are 50 pairs in a box of gloves, that is 100 gloves per box. $20 for 400 = $5 per box.

Yessir.... but we're tattoo artists not mathematicians :) I used to get dash gloves and really liked them but I started getting boxes where the gloves would be stuck together. It may be because of the heat here in Vegas during the shipping.

Adenna is great overall. Opus and Adenna Night Angels are good if you like thin gloves.

Hey Billy, do you find any of these as nitrile have a close to latex stretch and tactile(stick and grip) feel?

He Philip, the Opus gloves do have some textures at the finger tips. Still doesn't stretch as well as a latex but it has decent quality. If you stretch too much on these thinner gloves, they can still rip. I guess it all depends on preference. Adenna feedback has been solid as well.
