Complete guide: Opaque Gray Set 5x30ml
A complete grey-wash system in one box: five opaque gray tones, in 30 ml bottles, calibrated to work together — from Extra Light to Extra Dark. The set is aimed at artists working in black-and-white realism, portraits, or fine shading who want smooth transitions without preparing their own dilutions. The inks come pre-mixed, ready to use straight from the bottle, and the formula is vegan and compliant with European REACH regulations.
How to use
- Before first use, check the integrity of each bottle's seal and shake the bottle well to ensure the pigment is homogeneous.
- Pour a small amount of each shade you need into separate disposable ink caps for each client — never work directly from the bottle.
- Close the bottle cap tightly immediately after pouring to limit exposure to air and the risk of contamination.
- Choose the appropriate value for each area of the work: the five tones — Extra Light, Light, Medium, Dark, and Extra Dark — are designed as a complete gray scale.
- For smooth transitions, gradually overlap adjacent tones from the scale; the shades are calibrated to complement each other, so no additional dilutions are needed for a coherent grey-wash.
- If you need an intermediate tone, you can mix the shades from the set with each other or with other Xtreme Ink colors — compatibility within the range allows stable mixes.
- At the end of the session, discard all caps with leftover ink. Poured ink is never reintroduced into the bottle.
- Store the bottles at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and excessive heat, with caps tightly closed.
Tips from us
- Label or always arrange the ink caps in the same order when working with multiple values simultaneously — close gray tones can easily be confused in small caps.
- Test the scale on synthetic skin or a practice sheet before your first works to see how each value behaves with your needle setup and usual voltage.
- Keep in mind that gray works usually lighten slightly after healing — if you want a darker final tone, choose the next higher value on the scale.
- Note down your recipes when mixing intermediate tones (e.g., proportions between two adjacent shades) so you can reproduce the exact same gray at a future session.
- Pour small amounts and top up as needed — leftover ink in caps is discarded, so small portions reduce waste.
- The set works with coil, rotary, and pen machines, so you don't need to change your equipment; just adjust your shading technique to the ink's consistency.
Frequently asked questions
What advantage does a set of opaque grays have over hand-made grey-wash from diluted black?▾
Consistency. When you prepare your own dilutions from black, each mix can come out slightly different from one session to another. Here, the five values — Extra Light, Light, Medium, Dark, and Extra Dark — come pre-mixed and factory-calibrated to work together, so you get the same tones every time, with full opacity. This is especially useful for portraits and realism, where resuming a piece requires exactly the same gray values.
Is this set suitable for a beginner artist as well?▾
Yes, precisely because it eliminates the dilution preparation part: the inks are ready to use straight from the bottle, and the five-value scale helps you learn in a controlled way how to build transitions in black & grey. Start with exercises on synthetic skin to calibrate your hand for each value before working on clients.
What tattoo machines do these inks work with?▾
The set is compatible with all common machine types — coil, rotary, and pen. The fluid consistency of the inks allows a steady flow through any needle configuration, so you don't need dedicated equipment.
Can I mix these grays with other inks I already have?▾
Within the Xtreme Ink range, yes — the inks in the set mix stably and predictably with other Xtreme colors, so you can create custom tones. Mixing with inks from other brands is not guaranteed: formulas differ from manufacturer to manufacturer, so if you do combine them, test in small quantities first and not on a client.
How should I properly store the inks to make them last?▾
At room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat sources, with caps tightly closed after each use. For hygiene, work exclusively from disposable ink caps, poured separately for each client — the bottle thus stays clean, and unused ink from the caps is discarded at the end of the session.
Are these inks compliant with European legislation?▾
Yes, all five inks in the set are formulated in compliance with European REACH regulations regarding substances allowed in tattoo inks. Additionally, the formula is vegan and cruelty-free, with no animal-derived ingredients.
