Explore the Panthera Tattoo Ink Range
1. Panthera Ralf Nonnweiler’s Smooth Finish 150ml
Part of the Artist Series, Smooth Finish is designed for the final stages of portrait and realism work. It contains less pigment than Smooth Blending, making it ideal for saturating the brightest and lightest areas of a tattoo—those subtle highlights that bring a portrait to life without overpowering the skin . Its unique formula ensures a soft, smooth transition and a natural finish.
2. Panthera Ralf Nonnweiler’s Smooth Blending Pigment 150ml
Smooth Blending is formulated for seamless transitions and soft gradients, especially in black & grey realism. It contains more pigment than Smooth Finish but less than Panthera’s Light Sumy, making it perfect for mid-tones and gentle shading. This pigment is REACH compliant and trusted for its ability to create lifelike, dimensional effects in portrait tattoos .
3. Panthera Ralf Nonnweiler’s Smooth Set 150ml
The Smooth Set combines both Smooth Finish and Smooth Blending, offering artists a complete toolkit for every stage of black & grey work—from the softest highlights to the richest mid-tones. This set is ideal for artists who want total control over their gradients and transitions.
4. Panthera Dark Sumy (30ml/150ml)
Dark Sumy is a staple for deep, rich shading and creating dramatic contrasts. Its formulation allows for smooth blending into lighter tones, making it a favorite for both bold blackwork and subtle greywash effects.
5. Panthera Black Gold Pigment (30ml/150ml)
Black Gold is Panthera’s premium black pigment, engineered for maximum depth and longevity. It’s perfect for lining, packing, and creating tattoos that demand the deepest, most saturated black possible.
6. Panthera Light Sumy (30ml/150ml)
Light Sumy is designed for the softest washes and lightest shades in black & grey tattooing. It’s ideal for building up layers, creating soft backgrounds, and achieving smooth, airy transitions.
7. Panthera Black Liner (30ml/150ml)
This is Panthera’s go-to ink for crisp, clean lines. Black Liner flows smoothly, holds its color exceptionally well, and is trusted by artists for both fine and bold outlines .
8. Panthera Black Tribal XXX 150ml
Formulated for solid blackwork and tribal tattoos, Black Tribal XXX delivers intense, long-lasting black that heals beautifully. Its consistency is perfect for packing large areas with minimal passes, reducing trauma and ensuring even saturation.
Why Panthera Stands Out
Panthera’s commitment to quality, safety, and innovation has made it a favorite among top tattoo artists. Their inks are not only easy to work with but also heal true to tone, ensuring your artwork remains as intended for years to come. Whether you’re a specialist in realism, portraiture, blackwork, or traditional styles, Panthera offers a solution for every black & grey need .
