Complete guide: Panthera Ink Reach Tribal Black 30ml
Panthera Ink Reach Tribal Black 30ml is the ultra-concentrated black ink from the Panthera range, designed for solid blackwork fills and thick, saturated lines. The compact 30ml format is practical for artists who want to test this black before investing in the large bottle, or for those with moderate consumption of solid black. It is part of the Panthera Ink Reach line, reformulated according to REACH, without isopropyl alcohol, and produced in Italy.
How to use
- Shake the bottle well before each use to homogenize the pigment.
- Disinfect the bottle neck and cap before opening, with clean gloved hands.
- Pour into disposable cups exactly the amount needed for the session, just before starting work.
- For fills and solid blackwork, use magnum or curved magnum needles (e.g., 9M1-15M1, as per manufacturer recommendation) — the ink consistency is optimized for even coverage in fills.
- For dotwork, the manufacturer recommends round liner needles (3RL-5RL).
- For fine lines, consider Panthera Liner, which has a more fluid consistency for flow through thin lining needles; Tribal Black remains more suitable for thick lines and fills.
- Periodically wipe excess ink from the work area with clean compresses to keep the stencil line visible.
- At the end, discard the cup and any unused poured ink — do not reuse it for another session or on another client.
Tips from us
- Store the bottle at room temperature, away from direct light and heat sources.
- Do not dilute the ink with water or other liquids — it may affect consistency and sterility.
- Check the batch and bottle integrity before each use.
- If you only want to test Tribal Black before buying the 150ml format, the 30ml version is the right choice.
- For fine lines, prefer Panthera Liner — Tribal Black is formulated more for density and coverage in fills.
- If you frequently work with large volumes of solid black, consider the larger format from the same range for less fragmented consumption.
Warning: Professional tattoo ink for use under the skin — use strictly with sterile equipment and disposable needles, under hygienic conditions (gloves, disinfected work area). Never pour leftover ink from the cup back into the bottle after a session — you risk contaminating the rest of the product. Disinfect the bottle neck between uses and check the batch/bottle condition before application. For a new client or one with a history of pigment allergies, discuss the possibility of a reaction in advance. Avoid contact with eyes and keep out of reach of children.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Tribal Black 30ml and the 150ml version?▾
According to the manufacturer, the formula is identical — same pigment concentration and same consistency optimized for fills. Only the bottle volume differs: 30ml is useful for testing or moderate consumption, 150ml for higher consumption at a more advantageous price per ml.
Can I use Tribal Black for lines as well?▾
Yes, but the manufacturer recommends Panthera Liner for fine lines, due to its consistency optimized for flow through thin needles. Tribal Black is denser and designed primarily for fills and thick blackwork lines.
What needles are recommended for this ink?▾
For fills, the manufacturer recommends magnum and curved magnum needles (e.g., 9M1-15M1); for dotwork, round liner needles (3RL-5RL). Tribal Black works with most needle configurations, but filling needles give the best performance with such a dense ink.
How should the bottle be stored and how long does it last in use?▾
Store at room temperature. A 30ml bottle, used occasionally for blackwork or small fills, can cover several weeks of work — actual consumption depends on style and session frequency, being faster for artists who frequently do solid black fills.
Is it a safe product with certifications?▾
According to the manufacturer's data, the ink is sterilized by irradiation, microbiologically tested per batch, compliant with REACH regulation, vegan and not tested on animals, and manufactured in Italy.
Why choose the compact 30ml format over the large one?▾
The 30ml format is practical if you want to test the quality of Tribal Black before investing in the 150ml bottle, if you have moderate consumption of solid black, or if you prefer to open fresh bottles more often, including when traveling or at conventions.
