Complete guide: Intenze drawing ink Banana Cream 15ml
A drawing ink from the Intenze range, in a compact 15ml format, in the shade 'Banana Cream' — a warm, pastel cream yellow with slightly orange-ivory undertones, inspired by banana cream. It is intended for drawing: sketches, exercises, and work on practice surfaces, not tattooing. The small format makes it suitable if you want to test the shade or use it occasionally without investing in a large quantity.
How to use
- Shake the bottle well before each use to ensure the pigment is evenly mixed.
- Pour a small amount into a disposable container (ink cap) — never work directly from the bottle.
- Close the cap immediately after pouring to limit air exposure and contamination risk.
- Use the ink as intended: for drawing, sketches, or exercises on practice surfaces, such as synthetic skin.
- At the end, discard any leftover ink in the cap — do not pour it back into the bottle.
- Clean your work area and dispose of disposable containers and gloves after each session.
- Store the bottle tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Tips from us
- Test the shade on the surface you plan to work on before starting a full project — perceived color varies depending on the support and the monitor you viewed it on.
- Note the date of first opening on the label so you know how long the bottle has been in use.
- Pour only as much as you need for the current session; it's more economical and hygienic than discarding large excess.
- If you want to create tone variations, mix in small amounts in ink caps and stay within the same ink range — different bases between brands can behave unpredictably.
- Check the ink's appearance before use: if you notice persistent separation after shaking, lumps, or a changed smell, do not use it.
Warning: According to the product sheet, this ink is exclusively intended for drawing, not tattooing. Any other use is strictly the consumer's responsibility, and the seller assumes no liability for use outside the stated purpose. Work with gloves and disposable containers, do not reintroduce used ink into the bottle, and keep the product out of reach of children.
Frequently asked questions
Why does it say 'drawing ink'? Can I use it for tattooing?▾
The declared purpose of this product is drawing — sketches, exercises, work on practice surfaces — not tattooing. The product sheet explicitly states that any use other than the declared purpose is strictly the consumer's responsibility and that the seller assumes no liability in such cases. Our recommendation is to use the product as intended.
What exact shade is 'Banana Cream'?▾
It is a warm, pastel cream yellow with slightly orange-ivory undertones — a shade inspired by banana cream. Keep in mind that color perception varies depending on your monitor and the surface you work on, so it's safest to test it on your material before starting a full project.
How do I maintain hygiene when working with this ink?▾
The basic rules are the same as with any professional ink: work with gloves, pour the ink into disposable ink caps, and never touch the bottle mouth to tools or work surfaces. Do not return excess ink to the bottle — any poured ink is considered used and should be discarded at the end of the session. Close the cap immediately after pouring and clean your work area after each use.
How should I store the bottle and how long can I use it after opening?▾
Store it tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Note the opening date on the label and visually inspect the ink before each use: if you see separation that doesn't disappear after shaking, unusual deposits, or a changed smell, it's safer not to use it. Also check the expiration date printed by the manufacturer on the bottle.
Can it be mixed with other inks to create new shades?▾
The safest approach is to mix inks from the same range of the same manufacturer, as they share the same base and behave predictably together. Mix in small amounts in ink caps, and test the result before using it in a project. Avoid mixing different brands — different bases can lead to separation or uneven consistency.
Who is the 15ml format for?▾
The 15ml format is the compact and economical option: ideal if you want to test the shade before buying a larger quantity, if you use it only occasionally in drawings, or if you want to add a warm cream yellow accent to your palette without a big investment. Being a small amount, you'll also use it up before it sits open for too long.
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 Banana Cream 15ml is a professional tattoo ink from an industry-benchmark chromatic range, formulated to deliver a warm pastel cream-yellow with subtle orange-ivory undertones, inspired by banana cream. 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. Banana Cream 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 Elbow Grease (more opaque, thicker), Banana Cream offers controlled transparency perfect for layering. Ideal uses: realistic portrait highlights, luminous accents, skin tone blending, golden details. Recommended for styles: portretistică realistă, new school, neo-traditional, ornamental. 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.
