Guide & full description
Complete guide: Base Ink Pure Black 120ml
A professional black tattoo ink, formulated with high-purity carbon pigments for a deep black that does not shift to blue or brown after healing. The 120ml size is designed for artists with medium to high black ink consumption, and the vegan formula complies with the European REACH regulation and comes sterile-packaged. The consistency is calibrated to flow evenly through any type of machine — rotary, coil, or wireless — making it a versatile 'workhorse' black for lining, packing, and shading alike.
How to use
- Check the integrity of the seal and the bottle label before first use — the product comes sterile-packaged, and an intact seal is your guarantee.
- Shake the bottle vigorously for 20–30 seconds before each session: carbon pigments settle at the bottom over time, and shaking redistributes them evenly in the formula.
- Pour only the needed amount into disposable ink caps — never work directly from the bottle and never touch the bottle's mouth to used surfaces or gloves.
- Close the bottle immediately after pouring; the secure closure system prevents contamination and preserves ink quality between sessions.
- Work normally in your desired technique: precise lining with fine needles, dense packing for solid fills, smooth shading or whip shading — the consistency is designed for all needle and cartridge configurations.
- At the end of the session, discard all leftover ink in the caps along with consumables — never pour unused ink back into the bottle.
- Store the bottle tightly closed at room temperature, away from sunlight and heat sources.
Tips from us
- For large areas of solid black (tribal, blackwork), this ink's full coverage is its strong point — work methodically, and the saturation holds even after healing.
- If you want gray tones for shading, use a dedicated tattoo dilution solution, never tap water — only this preserves the sterility of the work.
- Note the batch number of each opened bottle — it's a standard traceability practice in the studio and useful for any checks.
- If you haven't worked with Base Ink before, first test the 15ml or 30ml size to see how it behaves with your setup, then move to 120ml or 240ml for regular use.
- Shaking is necessary before each use, not just at first opening — a homogeneous ink means consistent results from session to session.
Frequently asked questions
Is it good for both lines and shading, or do I need separate inks?▾
Versatility is one of this ink's strong points: the calibrated consistency allows for precise lining with fine needles, dense packing for solid fills, and smooth shading with magnums, including whip shading. Essentially, a single black covers all your techniques — many artists use it exactly like that, as their go-to black ink.
Does the black stay just as intense after healing?▾
Yes, the carbon pigments in the formula are stable and maintain their intensity after healing, without shifting to blue or brown over time. However, the final result also depends on your application technique (depth, correct saturation) and the client's aftercare — no ink can compensate for neglected healing.
Does it work with any tattoo machine and any cartridges?▾
Yes, the consistency is calibrated to flow evenly through rotary, coil, and wireless machines, with all needle and cartridge configurations. It works even with Cheyenne machines (Sol Nova, Hawk Spirit, Thunder) and Cheyenne Safety cartridges or other standard cartridges, without clogging.
How do I use it correctly to avoid contaminating the bottle?▾
Golden rule: the bottle never enters the contaminated work area. Shake the bottle, pour into disposable ink caps, immediately close the cap, and only then start working. Leftover ink in the caps is discarded at the end — never poured back. The bottle's secure closure system helps maintain quality, but the hygiene of the procedure depends on you.
Is it compliant with European legislation for tattoo inks?▾
Yes, the product complies with the European REACH regulation applicable to tattoo inks (including the 2022 norms) and contains no banned or restricted substances in the EU. The formula is vegan, with no animal-derived ingredients, and the product comes sterile-packaged — so you're legally covered for studio work.
Which size should I choose: 120ml or another size?▾
The range has four sizes: 15ml for testing and travel, 30ml as the standard size, 120ml for regular use, and 240ml for high-consumption studios. The 120ml size offers a good price-to-quantity balance if you work consistently with black — more economical than repeatedly buying small bottles, yet compact enough for storage.
