STIGMA Tattoo Ink Black 4 OZ (120ml) is a concentrated, USA-standard black lining pigment formulated for clear outlines and consistent, vibrant coverage.

Built for professional artists who need dependable black ink, this 120ml bottle from STIGMA delivers a dense, even pigment that absorbs smoothly and is optimized for both fine lining and bold outlines. The formula is gamma-sterilized and produced to industry standards, providing a high-opacity black that maintains clarity across different needle configurations and skin tones.

How does this ink perform for precise lining work?

STIGMA's concentrated black offers steady flow and strong pickup, helping needles carry pigment cleanly for crisp lines. Its viscosity balances between being too runny and too thick, reducing blowouts while allowing for sharp edges.

• Concentrated pigment supports single-pass lines
• Consistent flow for varied needle groupings
• Low consumption — covers more area per amount

Will this black work for shading as well as outlines?

While optimized for lining, the formula adapts well to buildable shading techniques when diluted or paired with graywash. It holds depth when layered and blends predictably when artists soften edges for gradients.

• Layer-friendly for gradual dark-to-light transitions
• Mixes cleanly with compatible dilutants or graywash
• Maintains tonal consistency across sessions

Is the product safe and ready for professional use?

STIGMA tattoo pigments are irradiated and sterilized by gamma rays to meet common safety and hygiene expectations in professional settings. The bottle is sized and labeled for studio use and comes in a 120ml volume suitable for recurring appointments.

• Gamma-sterilized pigments for studio-ready handling
• 120ml bottle designed for repeated professional use
• Manufactured to USA-standard pigment specifications

How should artists store and handle this ink for best results?

Keep the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dark place away from direct heat and sunlight. Gently invert or roll to re-suspend pigment before use and dispense into sterile caps; avoid cross-contamination by not returning leftover ink to the original bottle.

• Store sealed, away from heat and sunlight
• Mix gently before use to re-suspend pigment particles
• Use single-use caps; never return unused ink to bottle

Who is this for: Tattoo professionals and experienced artists seeking a reliable, concentrated black for daily studio work. This 120ml STIGMA bottle suits shop owners, freelance artists, and apprentices who require a high-opacity lining ink that scales across appointments and supports both crisp outlines and controlled shading when diluted.
