A drawing ink from Eternal, in a 30 ml bottle, in the shade Dark Purple — a dark violet, suitable for shadows and accents in sketches. It is designed for tattoo artists who prepare their designs on paper or practice on synthetic skin, as well as for anyone who draws and wants an intense color, from a range with multiple shades. Important to know from the start: it is intended exclusively for drawing, not tattooing.
Can I use this ink for tattoos?▾
No. The product is intended exclusively for drawing, and this is explicitly stated by the manufacturer and the store. Using it for any purpose other than drawing is strictly at the consumer's own risk. For tattooing, always choose inks specially designed for this purpose, from the category of tattoo inks.
What do tattoo artists actually use it for?▾
Mainly for preparing designs: sketches and color studies on paper, testing compositions before proposing them to the client, and exercises on synthetic skin. It is an economical method to work on shadows and contrasts with a color close to the desired one in the final work, without using tattoo ink.
How do I keep the ink in good condition and how long can I use it?▾
The basic rule is work hygiene: pour only as much as you need into a separate container, never return used ink to the bottle, and do not introduce tools directly into it. Keep the lid tightly closed, store the bottle at room temperature, away from sunlight. If you notice changes in smell, consistency, or separation that does not disappear after shaking, it is safer to replace it.
What tools are applied with and on what surfaces does it work?▾
It is applied with classic drawing tools — brush, nib, or liner — on paper and cardboard, and can be used for exercises on synthetic skin. Being liquid, it behaves like a regular drawing ink: thin layers dry faster and allow controlled overlays.
How does Dark Purple fit in relation to the other colors in the range?▾
Dark Purple is a dark violet, useful where you need depth: shadows, backgrounds, and dark accents in color sketches. The Eternal drawing ink range includes several shades, so you can search by color and combine Dark Purple with lighter tones for gradients in your designs.
How long does a 30 ml bottle last?▾
It depends on how often you draw and the technique used, but for sketches you work with small amounts poured into working containers, so a 30 ml bottle usually covers many sessions. The key is to pour only as much as you actually use — this way you avoid waste and keep the rest of the ink clean.
