Complete guide: Set of 5 Fusion Opaque Gray Drawing Inks 30ml
This product is a set of 5 Fusion brand drawing inks from the Opaque Gray range — five opaque shades of gray, from almost white to almost black, each in a 30ml bottle, sterile packed. It is intended exclusively for artwork on paper (sketches, flash designs, illustrations) — the shop explicitly states that it is not designed for tattooing on skin, and any other use remains the buyer's responsibility. The set is useful for artists and illustrators who need a complete spectrum of opaque grays, with even coverage in a single pass, for fine details and precise shadows on paper.
How to use
- Shake each bottle well for about 60 seconds before first use and before each subsequent use to homogenize the pigment.
- Pour a small amount of the desired ink into a separate palette or container, just enough for your working session — avoid dipping the tool directly into the bottle.
- Choose the right shade for the area of the drawing: Extra Light and Light for light tones, Medium for general shading, Dark and Extra Dark for areas of strong shadow or outline.
- First test the shade on a piece of paper identical to the one in your final project to see how the opacity and color behave before applying it definitively.
- Apply the ink with a brush, nib, or your preferred tool directly onto the paper.
- Let each layer dry completely before layering another tone, to keep clean edges.
- Close the bottle cap tightly immediately after use to prevent evaporation or contamination of the contents.
- Store the bottles at room temperature, away from direct light, between uses.
Tips from us
- Always shake the bottle before use — opaque pigment tends to settle, and without shaking the color won't be uniform.
- Test each shade on paper similar to your final artwork, as opaque tones may look different depending on the paper type.
- Keep in mind that Medium usually runs out fastest, as it's the most versatile — good to know if you work with the set often.
- Don't pour leftover ink from the palette back into the bottle, to avoid contaminating the rest of the contents.
- Keep bottles tightly closed, away from direct light and heat, to maintain ink consistency over time.
- Use clean tools (brushes, nibs) for each session, so you don't introduce impurities into the ink.
Warning: The manufacturer explicitly states that this product is intended exclusively for artwork on paper and is NOT designed for tattooing on skin; use for any purpose other than stated remains strictly the buyer's responsibility. Keep bottles out of reach of children, avoid direct contact with eyes or skin, and in case of accidental contact wash immediately with plenty of water. Do not ingest. If irritation occurs, discontinue use.
Frequently asked questions
Can this set be used for tattoos on skin?▾
No. The shop explicitly states that this ink is intended exclusively for artwork on paper and is not designed for tattoos. Use for any purpose other than stated is the sole responsibility of the buyer.
What exactly does the set contain?▾
Five 30ml bottles with opaque gray shades: Extra Light, Light, Medium, Dark, and Extra Dark — a complete spectrum from almost white gray to almost black, useful for fine details and shadows in paper artwork.
What is the difference between opaque and semi-transparent inks?▾
Opaque inks provide solid coverage in a single pass — the color remains fixed and uniform. Semi-transparent inks, on the other hand, layer and vary in intensity depending on the number of passes. For drawing, opacity is useful when you want a constant gray area without shade variations.
How do I properly store the bottles so the ink doesn't go bad?▾
At room temperature, away from direct light and heat, with the cap tightly closed between uses. Shake the bottle for about 60 seconds before each use to redisperse the settled pigment.
Which shade in the set runs out fastest?▾
Usually Medium, because it's the most versatile and covers most of the work. Extra Light is generally the least used, for specific areas of very light gray.
Can I use only a few tones from the set, not all five?▾
You can, but the complete set has the advantage that all five bottles come from the same production run and offer a ready-made spectrum from light to dark. If you want to start with fewer, Medium and Dark cover the most frequent needs, but the complete set gives you maximum flexibility from the start.
Product description
Fusion Drawing Ink SET 5 FUSION OPAQUE GRAY DRAWING INKS 30ML is a special set of inks designed for drawing purposes only, intended for use in paper-based art projects. This product is not intended for tattoos. The set includes five opaque gray shades, perfect for adding fine details and precise shading to your artwork. Each bottle contains 30ml of high-quality, sterile ink. This ink is intended to be used for drawing, not to be used for tattoos. Its use for purposes other than the one 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.
The Fusion Opaque Gray 5-Ink Set 30ml is the most complete opaque gray system available in the professional tattoo industry, containing all five tones in the range: Extra Light, Light, Medium, Dark, and Extra Dark. This set provides a complete tonal spectrum from nearly-white gray to nearly-black gray, each tone with complete opacity for solid single-pass coverage. The Opaque Gray philosophy is fundamentally different from gray wash — instead of transparency and layering, the opaque system offers fixed, uniform, predictable color. Each tone is formulated with precise blends of Titanium Dioxide and Carbon Black, not simple black dilutions, which guarantees permanent tonal stability in the bottle and in skin. The set is designed for neo-traditional, Japanese, illustrative, and ornamental artists who work extensively with uniform gray zones and need perfect reproducibility between sessions. The advantage of the complete set: all 5 tones come from the same production lot, guaranteeing maximum consistency between them. The 30ml bottles provide sufficient ink for complete system evaluation across multiple sessions. Price savings compared to individual purchase. Manufactured in the USA by Fusion Ink, EU REACH compliant, vegan, sterilized, lot-traceable. Includes the most popular tones (Medium finishes first) plus the extreme tones that add complexity. Shake each bottle well for 60 seconds before use. Store at room temperature, away from light. Lot-traceable with certificate of analysis per production lot. Each tone maintains calibrated opacity and color throughout the bottle shelf life.
