Complete guide: Intenze drawing ink Bamboo 15ml
This is a drawing ink from the Intenze range, in a warm yellow-green shade between olive and golden yellow, inspired by fresh bamboo stems. It is supplied in a 15 ml bottle and intended exclusively for drawing: project sketches, illustrations, and exercises on artificial skin. It is useful both for the tattoo artist preparing and repeating designs, and for trainees wanting to practice with a quality ink without using working ink.
How to use
- Shake the bottle well before each use to ensure the pigment is evenly distributed.
- Only pour the necessary amount into a single-use cap or container — never work directly from the bottle.
- Seal the bottle immediately after pouring to limit contact with air and the risk of contamination.
- Use the ink for sketches on paper, illustrations, or linework and shading exercises on artificial skin.
- If you want intermediate tones, mix in small quantities on a cap and test the result before using it in the work.
- At the end, discard the used caps along with any remaining ink — never pour ink back into the bottle.
- Store the bottle tightly closed, upright, in a cool place away from direct sunlight.
Tips from us
- Note the date of opening on the label so you can track how long it has been open.
- Test the shade on the actual support you are working on (paper or artificial skin) — the color may look different from the appearance in the bottle.
- The 15 ml format is practical for testing the shade and for exercises, without tying up money in a large quantity.
- Do not touch the bottle neck with needles, tips, or other work surfaces — pour from a small distance into the cap.
- For practice sessions on artificial skin, work with gloves and on a protective field, just like in a real session — you train your hygiene discipline as well as your hand.
Warning: This ink is intended exclusively for drawing, not tattooing. The manufacturer and store assume no responsibility for its use in any way other than stated — use for actual tattooing is strictly at the consumer's own risk. For tattoos on human skin, always use inks explicitly intended for tattooing. Even for drawing and exercises, maintain basic hygiene rules: single-use caps, no returning ink to the bottle, no contact between the bottle and the equipment used.
Frequently asked questions
Can I tattoo with this ink?▾
No. This is a drawing ink, and its stated purpose is exclusively drawing — sketches, illustrations, exercises. The store explicitly states that it is not intended for tattooing and that any other use is strictly at the consumer's own risk. For work on human skin, choose a tattoo ink intended for that purpose from the dedicated category.
What shade is Bamboo, actually?▾
It is a warm yellow-green, positioned between olive and golden yellow, inspired by fresh bamboo stems. It is a suitable shade for sketching botanical elements — leaves, natural backgrounds, oriental themes. As with any ink, the appearance in the bottle differs slightly from that on the support, so a quick test on paper or artificial skin is worthwhile before using it in an important sketch.
How do I choose between a drawing ink and a tattoo ink?▾
The choice is strictly based on purpose. Drawing ink is designed for project preparation and practice: sketches, illustrations, exercises on artificial skin — a more economical solution than using working ink for training. Tattoo ink is intended for implantation into the skin under professional conditions. The two categories are not interchangeable: if your intention is to tattoo, buy from the tattoo ink category.
How do I store the ink to make it last as long as possible and stay clean?▾
Three simple rules: work only from single-use ink caps and never pour leftover ink back into the bottle; seal the bottle immediately after pouring; store it upright in a cool place away from sunlight. Shake well before each use, as pigment can settle over time. If you notice an unusual odor or separation that does not disappear with shaking, do not use it anymore.
Can it be mixed with other Intenze drawing inks for new tones?▾
Yes, you can mix drawing shades from the same range to obtain intermediate tones — for example, lighter or darker variants of this yellow-green. Mix on a cap in small quantities, and test the result on the support before using it in a sketch. Stay within the same range and same type of product to avoid consistency surprises.
How long does a 15 ml bottle last me?▾
It depends on how often you draw and how generously you pour into the cap. For sketches and occasional practice sessions on artificial skin, 15 ml is a compact format that comfortably holds several sessions, especially if you pour small amounts and are not wasteful. It is exactly the right size to test the shade and your working method before stocking up on more.
Product description
Drawing ink Intenze Quantity: 15ml This ink is intended to be used for drawing, not to be used for tattoos. Its use for purposes other than those mentioned, by the consumer, is strictly the responsibility of the consumer.

Intenze Bamboo 15ml is a professional tattoo ink from an industry-benchmark chromatic range, formulated to deliver a warm yellow-green inspired by fresh bamboo stalks, between olive and golden yellow. 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. Bamboo 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. Unlike Eternal Olive Green (cooler, ashier), Bamboo retains the yellow warmth that brings botanical elements to life. Ideal uses: botanical backgrounds, leaves, oriental themes, natural landscapes. Recommended for styles: Japanese/Irezumi, realism botanic, neo-traditional, ilustrații naturale. 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.
