Complete guide: Frost Color Dilution Elixir REACH 150 ml
Frost Color Dilution Elixir REACH 150 ml is a professional solution for diluting black or colored tattoo inks, designed for artists who want to achieve lighter shades, gray washes, and pastel tones from an existing ink without purchasing each shade separately. Unlike distilled water, the elixir preserves pigment cohesion and prevents separation or tonal inconsistencies. It contains Damascus rose water, aloe vera, and panthenol, ingredients known for their soothing role on the skin during the procedure. It is especially useful for black and grey artists, but also for anyone looking to expand their shade palette starting from a limited set of inks.
How to use
- Gently shake the elixir bottle before use.
- Pour the desired amount of ink into a clean, disposable mixing cup.
- Gradually add Frost Color Dilution Elixir over the ink in small amounts, mixing well after each addition.
- For a light grey, start with a guideline ratio of 1 part ink to 3-4 parts elixir, then adjust until you achieve the desired shade.
- Test the mixture on practice skin before using it on a client to verify the tone accuracy.
- Use the mixture within the same work session; do not pour leftover used mixture back into the elixir or ink bottle.
- Close the bottle tightly after each use and store it away from direct light and heat.
Tips from us
- Note down your mixing ratios that gave you the desired result so you can reproduce them in future sessions.
- For progressive grey tones, prepare several cups with different dilution ratios, from lightest to darkest.
- Use the elixir also to thin an ink that has thickened over time, not just to lighten the color.
- First mix a small, testable amount before diluting a large quantity of ink.
- Check the ingredient label if any client has known sensitivities to any of the components.
Warning: The elixir is a professional-use product, intended for mixing with ink before tattooing, not for direct application to the skin. Use disposable (or sterilized) mixing cups and tools for each client and do not reintroduce leftover used mixture into the bottle to avoid cross-contamination. Mix only the amount needed for the respective session.
