Dynamic Mixing Solution 240ml is the sterile dilution solution produced by Dynamic Color, used to mix and thin tattoo ink — especially black, to obtain various shades of gray wash. It is made from pure, medical-grade water, filtered, distilled, and UV-treated, with added witch hazel for a gentler feel during use. It contains no pigments or dyes — it is just a dilution vehicle. The 240ml format is the large studio size, suitable for high-consumption artists or studios where multiple tattoo artists dilute ink daily.
What exactly is Dynamic Mixing Solution used for?▾
It is used to dilute black ink (obtaining various shades of gray wash), to adjust the viscosity of colored inks, to gently rehydrate inks that have thickened, and to improve flow through fine needle configurations. It contains no pigment — it is a sterile dilution vehicle, not an ink.
How do I achieve a successful gray wash with this solution?▾
Shake the black ink well, pour the desired amount into a disposable cap, gradually add Mixing Solution until you reach the desired shade, mix with a sterile needle or by gently shaking the cap, then test the result on artificial skin before applying it to the client. For multiple tones in one session, prepare separate ratios in different caps and make a fresh mix each time.
Is it compatible with other ink brands, not just Dynamic?▾
It is a pure vehicle, without aggressive pigments or preservatives, designed for mixing with professional water-based tattoo inks in general, not just the Dynamic range. If you work with a specific brand and have doubts, it is safest to also check the ink manufacturer's recommendation before mixing large volumes.
How do I maintain the solution's sterility after opening the bottle?▾
Do not touch the bottle neck with your hand, needle, or other instruments — pour directly into the cap and close the bottle immediately after each use. Store it closed, away from heat and direct light. If at any point the solution becomes cloudy, has visible particles, or smells different than usual, do not use it.
Is the 240ml version worth it, or should I get a smaller one?▾
The formula is the same regardless of volume — only the quantity and price per milliliter differ, with 240ml being more cost-effective. If you regularly use mixing solution (e.g., diluting black for gray wash in most realism/portrait sessions) or work in a studio with multiple artists, the 240ml format means fewer refills and a lower cost per ml. If you only use the solution occasionally, a smaller size may suffice.
Can I dilute colored inks with Mixing Solution, not just black?▾
Yes, it can also be used for colors to reduce viscosity or achieve lighter/transparent shades. Add the solution gradually, a little at a time, because excessive dilution noticeably reduces color intensity, and test the result on artificial skin before applying it to the client.
