You have before you a drawing ink from the Intenze range, in a deep dark red shade with burgundy undertones — a 'wine' red, warm but controlled, that does not shift toward brown or purple. It comes in a 30 ml bottle with a twist-lock cap, with a pre-dispersed formula, ready to use straight from the bottle. It is aimed at artists and illustrators looking for a deep red for works in dark, neo-traditional, or gothic styles, either as a shadow tone next to lighter reds or used independently.
Why does it say 'drawing ink' if it's an Intenze product? Can I use it for tattooing?▾
The official intended use of this product is drawing, exactly as specified in its description. Use for any purpose other than the stated one is strictly the consumer's responsibility, and the seller assumes no liability for use outside the declared intended use. If you need pigments explicitly intended for tattooing procedures, choose products labeled and marketed for that use.
What exact shade is this red?▾
It is a deep, dark red with burgundy undertones — the deepest area of the Intenze red spectrum. The undertones are warm but controlled: the shade does not shift toward brown or purple. It is significantly darker than Cherry Bomb from the same range, so if you want a vivid, bright red, that's Cherry Bomb; if you want depth and a 'wine' character, this is the choice.
Does it need to be shaken or diluted before use?▾
No. The pre-dispersed formula ensures the right consistency straight from the bottle, without excessive shaking or dilution. A gentle shake before use is enough to homogenize the contents.
How do I properly store the bottle after opening?▾
Always decant into separate, single-use containers, and never pour leftover ink back into the bottle. Close the twist-lock cap immediately after each decanting and store the bottle in a cool place, away from direct light. The manufacturer maintains the product under controlled temperature and light conditions to preserve sterility until opening — after opening, hygienic handling is up to you.
What other shades in the range does it combine with?▾
Its natural partner is Cherry Bomb: Dark Red covers deep areas and shadows, while Cherry Bomb covers highlighted areas, allowing for multi-tone red gradients. For even lighter accents, the range also includes Snow White Mixing. However, it works very well on its own, especially in dark compositions.
Is it vegan? Are there batch tests?▾
Yes — according to the manufacturer, the formula uses organic pigments in a vegan carrier, and Intenze declares the range cruelty-free. Each batch is tested in independent laboratories for the absence of aromatic amines, spores, staphylococcus, and any biological or fungal contamination. The manufacturer also mentions CTL certification and compliance with EU REACH.
