Complete guide: Intenze drawing ink Banana Cream 30 ml
This is a drawing ink from the Intenze range, in a warm, pastel cream-yellow shade with slightly orange-ivory undertones, supplied in a 30 ml bottle. Its declared purpose is exclusively drawing: technique exercises, project sketches, work on artificial skin, and portfolio compositions. It is used both by beginners training their hand and line control, and by experienced artists preparing their designs and color palettes before a piece. It is not intended for tattooing — use for any purpose other than stated is strictly at the consumer's own risk.
How to use
- Shake the bottle well before each use to evenly homogenize the pigment in the liquid.
- Pour a small amount into an ink cap (disposable cap) — never work directly from the bottle.
- Close the bottle immediately after pouring to avoid contamination and drying of the contents.
- Use the ink with a brush, pen, or tattoo machine on artificial skin / practice surface, depending on what you want to train.
- If you want intermediate shades, mix small amounts in an ink cap with other Intenze drawing inks and test the result on the surface before using it in your work.
- At the end, discard the remaining ink in the caps — do not pour it back into the bottle.
- Clean and sanitize your work area and used equipment, as with any practice session.
Tips from us
- Test the shade first on the surface you are working on (paper, artificial skin) — light, pastel colors can look different depending on the background.
- Being a pastel cream-yellow, it lends itself to accents and highlight areas in sketches and blending exercises — use it to train your tone transitions.
- Pour small portions: 30 ml lasts for many practice sessions if you don't waste ink in overfilled caps.
- Keep the bottle tightly closed, in a cool place away from sunlight, to maintain its consistency and color.
- If you practice with a machine on artificial skin, treat the session like a real one — gloves, barriers, disposable ink caps — to build correct hygiene reflexes.
- Note on your test sketches what mixtures you used, so you can reproduce the shades that work well for you.
Warning: This ink is intended exclusively for drawing and practice — NOT for tattooing. Use for any purpose other than stated is strictly the consumer's own responsibility, and the shop assumes no liability in this case. For tattoos on real skin, use only inks explicitly sold as tattoo inks. When handling: do not reintroduce anything used back into the bottle, work only from disposable ink caps, and keep the product out of reach of children.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use this ink for tattoos on real skin?▾
No. The declared purpose of the product is drawing — exercises, sketches, work on artificial skin. The official description explicitly states it is not intended for tattooing and that any other use is strictly the consumer's responsibility, with no liability assumed by the shop. If you need tattoo ink, choose from ranges explicitly sold as tattoo inks.
What exact shade is 'Banana Cream'?▾
It is a warm, pastel cream-yellow with slightly orange-ivory undertones, inspired by banana cream. Being a light shade, the final look depends heavily on the surface you apply it to — on a white background it will appear more delicate, on colored surfaces it may be partially covered. That's why it's always worth a quick test on your working surface before integrating it into a final sketch.
Can it be mixed with other Intenze drawing inks?▾
Yes, during drawing exercises you can mix Banana Cream with other Intenze drawing inks to obtain intermediate shades — for example, lighter variants for highlight areas or darker tones for shadows. Mixing is done in disposable ink caps, in small quantities, and tested on the surface before using it in your work. Never pour leftover mixture back into the bottle.
How do I hygienically handle the ink when practicing on artificial skin?▾
Exactly like in a real session: wear gloves, pour the ink only into disposable ink caps, do not reintroduce the used needle, brush, or ink back into the bottle, and close the bottle immediately after pouring. At the end, discard the caps with the remaining ink and sanitize your work surface. Besides protecting the product from contamination, you also train the correct hygiene routine for real work.
How many practice sessions does the 30 ml bottle last for?▾
It depends on how large your works are and how much ink you pour per session, but for drawing and practice, small amounts are consumed — typically a few milliliters per session, in caps. If you pour modest portions and close the bottle immediately, 30 ml covers many practice sessions. The simple rule: better to pour a little and top up than to throw away leftover ink from overly full caps.
How do I store the ink to prevent it from degrading?▾
Keep the bottle tightly closed, upright, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Shake well before each use, as pigment may settle over time — this is normal behavior for inks, not a defect. If you notice an unusual smell or a clear change in consistency that doesn't disappear after shaking, do not use it.

Intenze Banana Cream 30ml 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. The 30ml format of the essential Banana Cream — double quantity, ideal for portrait artists who constantly use this highlight tone. Ideal uses: realistic portrait highlights, luminous accents, skin tone blending, subtle golden details. Recommended for styles: portretistică realistă, new school, neo-traditional, ornamental, fine line. The 30ml 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.
