Complete guide: Set of 4 Panthera Reach TRIBAL BLACK + LINER + LIGHT SUMI + DARK SUMI ink 30ml
This set brings together four of the basic formulas from the Panthera Reach line, in compact 30 ml bottles: Tribal Black (intense black for fills and solid lines), Liner (formula dedicated to outlines), Dark Sumi and Light Sumi (two shades of grey for shading, one darker and one lighter). It is designed either as a way to test the Reach range before investing in the large 150 ml bottles, or as a compact kit for artists who work in small volumes or who frequently travel to conventions and guest spots. The Reach formula has been reformulated without isopropyl alcohol and in compliance with the European REACH regulation.
How to use
- Choose the formula appropriate for the stage of work: Tribal Black for fills and solid lines, Liner for precise outlines, Dark Sumi for more intense shading, Light Sumi for light tones and fine transitions.
- Gently shake the bottle before use to ensure uniform pigment consistency.
- Pour into a disposable cup only the amount of ink needed for that session, using the bottle's dispensing system to control the quantity and reduce waste.
- Apply with the tattoo machine according to your usual working technique, adjusting pressure and speed to the formula used (line vs. fill vs. shading).
- Do not pour back into the bottle any ink left in the cup after the session — the opened and used cup is discarded.
- Close the bottle cap tightly immediately after pouring, to limit exposure to air and contamination.
- Store the bottles in a dry place, away from direct light and extreme temperatures, between uses.
- Visually inspect the ink before each use (color, consistency) and respect the expiration date/LOT number printed on the packaging.
Tips from us
- If you haven't used the Panthera Reach line before, the 30 ml format is useful precisely for testing all four formulas before investing in the 150 ml bottles.
- Tribal Black and Liner are typically the most used formulas in a set like this, so keep that in mind when planning your restocking.
- Pour small amounts per session — this reduces both waste and the risk of contaminating the remaining ink in the bottle.
- The compact format is convenient for artists attending conventions or guest spots, where kit space matters.
- Keep each bottle in its individual box when not in use, for extra protection during transport and storage.
- Do not mix leftover ink from different cups back into the original bottles.
Warning: Tattoo ink is a consumable product used directly on the skin, so strict hygiene is mandatory: disposable cups per client, sterile disposable needles and materials, gloves throughout the entire procedure. Always check the LOT number and expiration date before use. Individuals with known allergies to tattoo ink components should consult a specialist beforehand. This set is intended for professional use, not for home application without training.
Frequently asked questions
What exactly does this 30 ml set contain?▾
Four 30 ml bottles from the Panthera Reach line: Tribal Black (intense black, for fills and solid lines), Liner (formula for precise outlines), Dark Sumi (dark grey, for stronger shading) and Light Sumi (light grey, for soft tones and fine transitions).
What is the difference between Dark Sumi and Light Sumi?▾
Both are formulas dedicated specifically to shading, but Dark Sumi is darker and used for stronger tones, while Light Sumi is lighter and used for delicate, soft tones.
How long does a 30 ml bottle last?▾
According to the manufacturer, a 30 ml bottle can cover between 3 and 8 sessions, depending on working style and the size of the pieces — with the note that Tribal Black and Liner tend to be consumed faster, as they are used in most works.
Is it worth getting the 30 ml set or go straight for the 150 ml bottles?▾
If you are just testing the Panthera Reach line or work in small volumes, the 30 ml set is suitable — it allows you to evaluate all four formulas at a lower cost. The cost per ml is more advantageous in the 150 ml format, so for regular, long-term use, that becomes more economical.
How do I properly store the inks between uses, from a hygiene perspective?▾
Close the cap tightly after each pour, store the bottles in a dry place away from direct light and extreme temperatures, and always pour into disposable cups only the amount needed for the session — poured ink is not reintroduced into the bottle.
Are these inks suitable for beginners as well?▾
Yes — the compact format is recommended even by instructors as a starter kit for students in tattoo courses, precisely because it provides access to all four basic roles (fill, line, dark shading, light shading) at a low cost.
