How to use
- Check the bottle before opening — the safety cap must be intact, and the product is sterile packaged until first use.
- Gently shake the bottle before use, to homogenize the carbon black pigment in the carrier based on purified water and vegetable glycerin.
- Pour only the amount needed for the session into a disposable ink cap, just before starting work.
- Never insert the needle, tube or other instrument directly into the original bottle — work exclusively from the poured ink cap, to avoid contaminating the rest of the ink.
- Use the ink for outlining: the high density of the formula is designed to prevent pigment spread and keep clean line edges.
- Close the bottle tightly immediately after pouring what you need and avoid leaving it open longer than necessary.
- At the end of the session, discard any ink left in the ink cap — never reintroduce it into the original bottle.
- Store the bottle away from direct light and extreme temperatures, to maintain its consistency over time.
Tips from us
- For the blackest and cleanest lines, choose liner configurations suitable for a high-density ink, as described for Lining Black.
- If you work with multiple colors from the Intenze Gen Z range, you can use them together in one session — they all comply with the same REACH conformity mentioned by the manufacturer.
- Do not mix back into the bottle the ink left in the ink cap after the session — the risk of contaminating the entire stock is not worth saving a few drops.
- Keep the bottle tightly closed between uses, in a place away from light and heat, so that the formula remains stable.
- Check the bottle label at each purchase for batch and expiration date, as standard practice before any session.
Warning: It is a professional consumable, intended for application by a qualified tattoo artist, under studio hygiene conditions. The bottle is sealed and sterile packaged until opening; once opened, the ink is poured into disposable ink caps and the remainder is not reintroduced into the bottle, to avoid cross-contamination. Do not apply on irritated, injured or skin affected by other dermatological issues. Keep out of reach of children and store according to the instructions on the label.

Frequently Asked Questions What makes Lining Black the most intense black in the Gen Z range? Lining Black is formulated with the maximum carbon black pigment concentration allowed in the formula, delivering the highest possible opacity. Unlike Formula 23 which offers versatility, or Dimension Black which offers controlled transparency, Lining Black is designed exclusively for the most intense, opaque black, ideal for outlines that define the tattoo. How does Lining Black compare to Formula 23 and Bob Tyrrell inks? Lining Black delivers the most intense, opaque black, ideal for strong outlines. Formula 23 is versatile, suitable for both lining and shading. Dimension Black offers controlled transparency for tonal sculpting, and Sculpting Black is an intense black for shadow definition. Each serves a distinct purpose in the artist's palette. Is Lining Black EU REACH compliant? Yes, Intenze Gen Z Lining Black is fully compliant with EU REACH Regulation and Res AP(2008)1 Resolution. The carbon black pigment is listed on the CTL and the formula is vegan. This reformulation was one of the most important in the Gen Z range, ensuring European artists can continue using a high-performance lining black. How does Lining Black heal? Lining Black heals to a deep, intense, permanent black with minimal opacity loss. Lines remain clear, well-defined, and black after healing, exactly as drawn by the artist. This predictability is essential because outlines are the skeleton of any tattoo and must withstand the test of time impeccably. What styles is Lining Black essential for? Lining Black is essential for traditional and American traditional where thick black lines are defining, neo-traditional with its distinct outlines, Japanese with its flowing, powerful lines, tribal and blackwork where solid black is fundamental, geometric with its precise lines, and actually any tattoo style that begins with a black outline. Is Lining Black vegan? Yes, Intenze Gen Z Lining Black is formulated 100% vegan, without animal-derived ingredients and without animal testing. The carbon black pigment used is of mineral origin, not animal. This makes the product suitable for all clients, including those who request exclusively vegan and cruelty-free materials. What consistency does Lining Black have? Lining Black has a dense, concentrated consistency optimized for drawing clear, precise lines. The density prevents pigment spreading beyond desired edges, ensuring clean lines with well-defined margins. Despite the density, the formula flows well enough through lining needles (RL) to prevent interruptions and ensure continuity. How does Lining Black compare to Dynamic Triple Black? Intenze Gen Z Lining Black and Dynamic Triple Black are both top-tier black inks. Dynamic tends to be slightly denser, while Gen Z Lining Black offers a balance between maximum opacity and workability. The main difference is Gen Z's complete EU REACH compliance and vegan formula, making it the legal and safe choice for the European market. What needles are recommended for Lining Black? Lining Black is optimized for round liner (RL) needles: 3RL and 5RL for fine lines and details, 7RL and 9RL for medium lines, and 11RL-14RL for thick lines in traditional and tribal style. Machine speed should be adjusted according to desired line thickness. Consistent pressure and fluid movements ensure uniform, clean lines. What is the shelf life? Intenze Gen Z Lining Black has a shelf life of approximately 3 years from manufacture. Store at room temperature, away from direct sunlight. Shake the bottle vigorously before each use, as the high pigment concentration may settle more than with more diluted inks. The 30ml bottle with safety cap.
