Complete guide: Fusion drawing brush Opaque Blue Extra Dark 30 ml
A professional drawing ink from the Fusion range, in the darkest shade of the Opaque Blue series — a deep blue-gray, almost black, with a distinct blue component. The 30 ml bottle is intended exclusively for drawing: sketches, shadow studies, and gradation exercises, not for tattooing. It is useful if you work with blue-gray tones and want the maximum contrast shade in the series, with a vegan water-based formula.
How to use
- Shake the bottle vigorously for about one minute before each use to fully homogenize the pigment.
- Pour only the necessary amount into a separate container (e.g., a disposable lid) — do not work directly from the bottle to avoid contaminating the remaining contents.
- Apply the ink with your drawing tool for sketches, shadow studies, or practice exercises — the product is intended for drawing, not tattooing.
- For gradations, combine it with the lighter shades from the same Opaque Blue series (Extra Light, Light, Medium, Dark) or with the Opaque Gray series, working from lightest to darkest.
- Seal the bottle tightly immediately after pouring to limit evaporation and contamination.
- Store it at 10–32 °C, away from direct sunlight, and do not freeze.
Tips from us
- Being the final, most intense shade in the series, use it sparingly — for maximum shadow accents and strong contrast areas, not for entire surfaces.
- Mark the opening date on the bottle: shelf life is 3 years sealed, but only 12 months after opening.
- Never pour unused ink back into the bottle — discard it together with the disposable container.
- If you want complete natural blue-gray transitions, consider the other 4 shades in the Opaque Blue series — the series is designed as a unified 5-color gradation.
- Pour controlled, tilting the bottle slightly — avoid waste and spills on the work area.
Warning: This ink is intended exclusively for drawing. It is not sold for tattooing, and any use other than the declared purpose is strictly at the user's own risk. Even when drawing, maintain basic hygiene: work with clean hands or gloves, use disposable containers, and do not reintroduce already poured product into the bottle to avoid contaminating the remaining contents.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use this ink for tattoos?▾
No. The product is marketed as a drawing ink, and its declared purpose is exclusively drawing. Use for any other purpose is strictly at the consumer's own risk — the store assumes no responsibility for using the product for any purpose other than that stated. If you need tattoo pigments, choose products explicitly sold for that purpose.
What shade exactly is Opaque Blue Extra Dark?▾
It is the darkest (fifth) shade in the 5-color Opaque Blue series: Extra Light, Light, Medium, Dark, and Extra Dark. It offers the deepest blue-gray in the series, almost black, but with a visible blue component that distinguishes it from a pure neutral gray. In drawing, it is the maximum shadow and contrast shade in the blue-gray palette.
Does it match other Fusion colors?▾
Yes. The Opaque Blue series is calibrated as a unit gradation, so Extra Dark integrates naturally with the other 4 shades in the series for smooth transitions. It also combines well with the Opaque Gray series for extended shadow tone palettes. It can also be used independently as a versatile dark blue-gray.
Is it vegan? What does the formula contain?▾
Yes, the formula is declared 100% vegan, with no animal-derived ingredients and no fillers. It is water-based and contains organic pigments, distilled water, witch hazel, and alcohol, with a high pigment load that gives intense and opaque color.
How do I store it and how long does it last?▾
Store the bottle at temperatures between 10 and 32 °C, away from direct sunlight, and do not freeze. Sealed, the shelf life is 3 years; after opening, use it within 12 months. Before each use, shake it vigorously for about one minute and pour only into separate containers to keep the contents uncontaminated.
I'm a beginner — does it make sense to start directly with the Extra Dark shade?▾
It depends on what you are practicing. If you are working on shadow and contrast studies, Extra Dark gives you the dark limit of the blue-gray palette and works well on its own. However, if you want to practice complete gradations, it is more useful to have at least 2–3 shades from the series (e.g., Light, Dark, and Extra Dark), because the series is built specifically for gradual transitions from light to dark.
