Complete guide: Intenze drawing ink Bahama Blue 15ml
An Intenze ink in a vibrant medium blue, with subtle turquoise undertones inspired by the tropical waters of the Bahamas, delivered in a 15 ml bottle. The official intended use of the product, as sold by us, is drawing — and the small size makes it the natural choice when you want to evaluate a shade from the Intenze General palette before investing in a 30 ml or 120 ml bottle. It is part of one of the most well-known color ranges in the industry, manufactured in the USA, and according to the manufacturer the formula is 100% vegan and cruelty-free.
How to use
- Upon receipt, check the seal, label, and lot number on the bottle — each Intenze bottle is traceable via its lot number.
- Shake the bottle well before each use: pigment may settle over time, and shaking restores uniform consistency.
- Pour only the necessary amount into disposable caps (containers) — never work directly from the bottle.
- Close the cap immediately after pouring to limit the ink's contact with air and potential contamination.
- If you want intermediate shades, mix in a cap, in small quantities, with other inks from the same Intenze range and test the result before using it in your work.
- Any ink left in the cap after the session should be discarded — never pour it back into the bottle.
- Store the bottle tightly closed, in a cool place, away from direct sunlight.
Tips from us
- The 15 ml size is designed as a test size: use it to see exactly how the shade behaves in your working style before ordering a large bottle.
- Write the date of first opening on the label so you can track how long the bottle has been open.
- Wear disposable gloves when handling the ink and keep the bottle mouth clean — do not touch it against caps, gloves, or the work surface.
- According to the manufacturer, the color heals/dries slightly lighter than it appears in the bottle, so judge the shade by a test, not by the look in the bottle.
- Do not use the ink if you notice separation that does not disappear after shaking, a changed odor, or a visible change in consistency.
- For lighter highlights you can mix the shade with a mixing white from the Intenze range, and for shadow tones with a black from the same range — always on a cap, in small proportions.
Warning: Important: this product is sold as drawing ink, not for tattoos. Using it for any purpose other than the stated one is strictly the consumer's responsibility — the seller assumes no liability for use in any other way. For hygiene reasons, work exclusively with disposable caps, do not reintroduce already poured ink into the bottle, and handle the bottle only with clean gloves.
Frequently asked questions
What exact shade is Bahama Blue?▾
It is a medium, vibrant blue with subtle turquoise undertones — a 'tropical water' shade, positioned between pure blues and greenish blues. According to the manufacturer, the dry/healed color comes out slightly lighter than it appears in the bottle, so the safest way to evaluate it is a practical test, not a visual comparison with the bottle. It is part of the Intenze General palette, one of the most complete color ranges in the industry.
Why does it say 'drawing ink' if it's an Intenze product?▾
Because this is the official intended use under which the product is sold by us: drawing ink. Using it for any purpose other than the stated one is strictly the consumer's responsibility, and the seller assumes no liability in that case. Essentially, you buy it and use it as drawing ink; any other use remains solely your decision and responsibility.
Can it be mixed with other Intenze inks?▾
Yes. According to the manufacturer, the Intenze range has a unified formula, so shades can be combined with each other without risk of coagulation or separation — for example with a mixing white for lighter variants or with black for shadow tones. Mixing should always be done in disposable caps, in small quantities, and the result should be tested before using it in your work. We do not recommend mixing with inks from other ranges or from other manufacturers, because different formulas can behave unpredictably.
How do I store the ink and how long can I use it after opening?▾
Keep the bottle tightly closed, in a cool place away from direct sunlight, and shake it well before each use. Check the expiration date on the label and note the date of first opening. Hygiene rules are essential: pour only into disposable caps, never reintroduce used ink into the bottle, and do not touch the bottle mouth against other surfaces. If the ink changes odor, consistency, or shows separation that does not disappear after shaking, do not use it anymore.
Is the 15 ml bottle worth it or should I go straight for a larger one?▾
If you haven't worked with this shade before, 15 ml is exactly the recommended test size: it allows you to evaluate the color and its behavior in practice before investing in the 30 ml or 120 ml size. If you already know the shade and use it regularly, the large size becomes more economical per milliliter — but for a new color in your palette, the small bottle is the rational choice.
Is the product vegan?▾
Yes, according to the manufacturer the Intenze formula contains no animal-derived additives and is 100% vegan and cruelty-free. The declared base by the manufacturer includes purified water, vegetable glycerin, and witch hazel (hamamelis), with uniformly dispersed pigments. The product is manufactured in the USA, at the Intenze facility in New Jersey, and each batch carries a lot number for full traceability.

Intenze Bahama Blue 15ml is a professional tattoo ink from an industry-benchmark chromatic range, formulated to deliver a vibrant medium blue with subtle turquoise undertones, inspired by Bahamas tropical waters. Intenze's patented formula uses high-concentration organic pigments uniformly dispersed in a base of purified water, vegetable glycerin, and witch hazel, with no animal-derived additives — a 100% vegan and cruelty-free product. Bahama Blue belongs to the Intenze General palette, one of the most comprehensive and widely used chromatic ranges in professional tattooing worldwide. The ink's medium consistency allows both precise lines at moderate voltages (7-8V) and fluid shading or dense color packing at higher voltages (8.5-9.5V). The pigment settles excellently in the dermal layer, maintaining its chromatic vibrancy long-term — Intenze is recognized for post-healing color stability, with minimal chromatic shift in the first 5-8 years. Compared to Eternal Bermuda Blue (lighter, greener), Bahama Blue delivers a purer, more saturated blue with superior first-pass coverage. Ideal uses: sky, water, blue flowers, atmospheric backgrounds. Recommended for styles: neo-traditional, new school, Japanese, realism color. The 15ml bottle represents the perfect trial size: sufficient for 2-4 medium sessions, allowing real-skin color evaluation before investing in the 30ml or 120ml format. Intenze's consistency is optimized to work excellently with all machine types — pen-style, rotary, and coil — and all needle configurations, from RL for details to M1/RM for massive fills. Manufactured in the USA, Intenze's New Jersey facility adheres to pharmaceutical-grade GMP standards. Gamma-ray sterilized, each lot tested for microbial purity, complete traceability through lot number on every bottle. Full EU REACH compliance — no banned heavy metals, no aromatic amines, no restricted preservatives.
