How to choose the best tattoo ink for each type of project?
The choice of ink depends on the style of tattoo and the desired effect. For projects requiring vibrant colors and fine detail, brands like Intenze or Eternal Ink are renowned for their extensive palette and fluidity. For portraits and black-and-gray pieces, more viscous and pigmented inks are recommended to achieve subtle shading. Make sure you choose inks that are compatible with your equipment and suited to your customers' skin type to guarantee optimum results.
What safety and quality criteria should I check before buying a tattoo ink?
Before choosing an ink, it's essential to ensure that it meets safety and quality standards. Check that the ink is dermatologically tested, and that it complies with current regulations, such as the European Union's REACH standard, known for their rigorous standards. At Itc, we pay particular attention to this, which is why we offer you trusted brands such as World Famous Tattoo Ink Limitless, Eclipse, Viking Ink by Dynamic, Kuro Sumi, Quantum, Intenze Gen-Z, Panthera and Eternal Ink.
What are the best practices for storing and using tattoo inks?
Proper storage of tattoo inks is crucial to preserving their quality and ensuring the safety of your customers. Store your inks in a dry place, away from direct light and temperature variations. Be sure to close the bottles tightly after each use to prevent contamination and pigment degradation. Before each session, shake the bottle carefully to homogenize the pigments and ensure even application. The use of sterile equipment to handle inks is essential to maintain their purity and avoid infection.
Vegan tattoo inks: what are they and why choose them?
Vegan tattoo inks contain no animal products and are free from animal testing, making them popular with tattoo artists and ethically-minded customers alike. They use alternative pigments that replace animal-derived components such as gelatin or animal glycerine. Vegan inks offer the same quality and durability as traditional inks. Brands such as World Famous and Eternal Ink offer fully vegan and certified ranges, without compromising on pigment quality.
