Complete guide: Intenze drawing ink Dark Purple 30 ml
This is a drawing ink from Intenze, in a 30 ml bottle, in the shade Dark Purple — a deep, dark purple with balanced undertones between blue and red. It is intended exclusively for drawing and practice (e.g., sketches or training on practice skin), not for tattooing on real skin. It is a suitable choice for beginner artists who want to practice with an ink that behaves realistically, as well as for experienced artists preparing their projects in the drawing phase.
How to use
- Shake the bottle well for about 30 seconds before each use for a uniform consistency.
- Pour only the necessary amount into disposable cups (ink caps) — never work directly from the bottle.
- Use it as intended: for drawing and practice, e.g., on practice skin or for sketching projects.
- When practicing with a machine on practice skin, the medium consistency flows through any needle configuration: magnum for fills, round liner for details.
- If you want derived shades, mix in clean cups: with Snow White Mixing you get lavender, with Dark Red wine tones, with Mario's Blue a bluish-purple, with Lining Black maximum depth.
- After use, close the twist-lock cap tightly and discard any remaining ink in the cups — never pour it back into the bottle.
Tips from us
- For lavender, start with a ratio of 1:2 to 1:3 Dark Purple to Snow White Mixing — the more white, the lighter the shade.
- Dark Purple is 4-5 shades darker than Light Purple from the same range; used together, they cover complete purple gradients (Dark for shadows, Light for highlights).
- Store the bottle at room temperature (15-25 °C), away from direct light and heat sources; do not refrigerate it.
- Note the opening date on the bottle: sealed, it lasts 3-5 years, but after opening, it is recommended to use it within 12-18 months.
- Do not transfer the ink into non-sterile containers — you lose the hygiene ensured by the original packaging.
- Test mixes on a practice skin sample before using them in a larger exercise to see the exact resulting shade.

Even during practice, work hygienically: wear gloves, use disposable cups, do not reintroduce used ink into the bottle, and close the cap tightly after each session.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use this ink for tattoos on real skin?▾
No. The product is marketed as a drawing ink, intended exclusively for drawing and practice — for example, on practice skin. Using it for any purpose other than the one stated is strictly at the consumer's own risk, and the store assumes no liability in this case. If you need tattoo pigment, choose a product from the tattoo ink category.
What exact shade is it and how does it compare to Light Purple?▾
It is a deep, 'royal' purple with balanced undertones between blue and red — it does not lean towards blue or magenta. Compared to Light Purple from the same range, it is approximately 4-5 shades darker: Dark Purple is the deep amethyst shade, suitable for shading, while Light Purple is the lilac shade, suitable for highlights. Used together, you can achieve complete purple gradients in your practice.
How do I get lavender or other shades derived from it?▾
For lavender, mix Dark Purple with Snow White Mixing in a ratio of 1:2 to 1:3 — the more white you add, the lighter the shade becomes. For a warmer lavender, add Light Magenta; for a cooler one, add Mario's Blue. For wine tones, mix with Dark Red, and for maximum depth, with Lining Black. Always prepare mixes in clean, disposable cups.
How should I store the bottle and how long does it stay good?▾
Store it at room temperature (15-25 °C), away from direct light and heat sources, with the twist-lock cap tightly closed after each use. Do not refrigerate it and do not transfer the ink into non-sterile containers. Shake it well for about 30 seconds before each use. Sealed, it has a shelf life of 3-5 years; after opening, it is recommended to use it within 12-18 months.
Is it vegan and compliant with European regulations?▾
Yes. According to the manufacturer, the formula uses a vegan carrier and organic synthetic pigments, without carmine (the red pigment of animal origin sometimes used in purples). The product is declared compliant with EU REACH, with independent CTL certification and batch testing for the absence of aromatic amines and biological or fungal contamination. Traceability documentation is available upon request.
What needle configurations and voltage should I use for practice on practice skin?▾
Medium consistency, pre-dispersed, flows consistently through any configuration without additional dilution. As a training reference: magnum for fills at approximately 7.5-8.5 V, round shader at 7-8 V, and round liner at 7.5-8 V. These are guideline values — adjust according to your machine and the working speed you practice with.
Product description
Drawing ink Intenze Quantity: 30ml 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. We do not assume any responsibility in the case of using this tus for a purpose other than the one mentioned
Intenze Dark Purple 30 ml is a deep dark violet with regal undertones tattoo ink formulated by Mario Barth with maximum-concentration organic pigments in a sterilized vegan carrier. The pre-dispersed formula ensures perfect consistency straight from the bottle, requiring no excessive shaking or dilution. This shade occupies the most intense zone of the Intenze violet spectrum — deeper and more saturated than Light Purple, delivering regal, mysterious, imposing character. Undertones are balanced between blue and red with neither component dominating. Every batch undergoes independent laboratory testing to confirm absence of aromatic amines, spores, staphylococcus, and any biological or fungal contamination. Storage occurs in temperature-and-light-controlled conditions to maintain sterility until opening. Dark Purple excels in neo-traditional (flowers, crystals, magical elements), Japanese (waves, kimonos, mythology), new school (galaxies, fantastic elements), and realism (dark lavender flowers, night skies, silk fabrics). Mixes flawlessly: with Snow White Mixing for lavender, with Dark Red for wine tones, with Mario's Blue for regal blue-violet, with Lining Black for maximum depth. Medium consistency allows constant flow through any needle configuration — magnums for fills, round liners for details. Compared to Eternal Dark Purple which leans blue, Intenze maintains superior balance. Dark violet is among colors with best healing retention — 10-15% saturation loss. CTL certified, EU REACH compliant. 30 ml bottle with twist-lock cap.
