World Famous Tattoo Ink
World Famous Tattoo Ink - It can be scary to enter the tattooing industry! There seem to be an endless supply of tools, a plethora of ink combinations, voluminous dictionaries of odd vocabulary, and an overwhelming sense of pressure to permanently mark someone you met only ten minutes ago. Fortunately, the tattoo community functions as one big, extended family, despite all the anxiety that can accompany starting a new tattoo business.
We're going to make the process of purchasing ink easier and more straightforward for you today. Looking through large catalogs of colors and ink palettes can be intimidating for a novice, but the World Famous family is here to assist!
This is a brief tutorial that will help you acquire the basic tattoo colors and sets you need to get started.
Black Ink
World Famous Tattoo Ink - Most of the tattoos you will finish are built on black ink. Although color tattoos have their proper place and time, there are very few days on which you won't get your black ink done.
The most popular color for tattoos is black tattoo ink. Usually, it's employed in tattoo designs to add depth and contrast as well as strong, bold lines. In addition, it can be used to shade and create black gradients within a design (more on this in our grey wash section). Due to its ability to blend in or effectively conceal previous tattoos, black ink is also used for cover-up tattoos.
Some varieties of blacks are used more widely, while others are offered by World Famous ink for specific uses. For example, our favorite ink for getting sharp lines with a thinner and lower viscosity is our Legendary Outlining Ink. On the other end of the spectrum, our two darkest ink shades, Triple Blackout and Pitch Black, are perfect for very dark fill and tribal designs. Blackout is a timeless artist favorite that works well for almost anything.
We suggest selecting a solid grey wash set and your favorite general black outlining ink.
Greywash
Greywash is a method of using black and grey pigmented inks to create gradients; it's not necessarily a color. This method is frequently applied to blend colors in other kinds of designs and to give portrait tattoos a more realistic appearance. Tattoo ink can be made grey by diluting it with water or other substances, then layering the diluted ink to increase its color intensity. Compared to classic solid black tattoos, the outcome is softer and more understated, and depending on the tattoo artist's skill and design, it can be used to achieve a variety of effects.
We advise beginners to purchase a grey wash set of tattoo supply rather than attempting to mix their own inks at this time. You'll know more clearly how you want your work to blend once you've invested enough time in honing your skill set. While there are a few amazing grey wash kits available from World Famous, our official recommendation and the greatest choice for novices is the World Famous 3 Bottle Greywash Set.
Primary Color Set
Getting a grey wash set and your favorite black ink first is probably a good idea before moving on to color. There are many different color choices, and not all of them are equally beneficial. Pastel sets, primary color sets, skin tone sets, and countless more are available. To increase your options, you can create gradients within those sets by mixing or diluting specific colors in addition to the standard colors.
For a novice, the plethora of choices and blending techniques may be somewhat daunting. As a result, we advise getting a solid ink set that includes all of the primary colors, such as our Primary Color Ink Set. There are a total of 12 inks that can be used separately, but you can also mix and experiment with different shades when you're ready. Certain ink sets, such as ours, include a standard black ink, so you won't need to purchase a separate black ink either.
The Fundamentals:
Entering the tattoo industry can be scary, but it doesn't have to be. You can navigate the world of ink and tools with ease if you have the support of the tattoo community and a guide like this one. For a novice, we advise beginning with:
An essential black ink
A set of grey wash
a primary palette
For each of these, World Famous ink has a range of options; our official recommendations are the World Famous 3-Bottle Grey Wash Set, the Legendary Outlining Ink, and the Primary Color Ink Set. Don't forget to practice your techniques, take your time, and don't be scared to try different color combinations and dilutions.
