💡 Understanding the Results

Ink mixing is both art and science. Colors behave differently when diluted or mixed. Always mix more than you think you’ll need – running out mid-tattoo is problematic. Test colors on practice skin before using on clients.

🎓 Professional Tips

  • Record exact ratios for custom colors clients may want again
  • Consider how colors will heal and fade over time
  • Always mix in adequate lighting conditions
  • Test custom mixes on practice skin first
  • Label and date custom mixes for future reference
