Empowering Tattoo Culture with Safe Ink

 See How Kuro Sumi is Bridging the Gap between Culture, Art, and Safety in the Tattooing Industry

The love for tattoos and body arts grows stronger by the day, and it's crucial to prioritize safety when it comes to reliable tattoo ink. Kuro Sumi has got your back with our unbeatable safety and quality standards in the tattooing industry. We're the real deal, and our safety measures and top-notch quality set us apart from the rest. Let's dig deeper and find out why Kuro Sumi is the safest and most dependable tattoo ink distributor out there.

Safety in Manufacturing

With State-of-the-Art Clean Rooms

Kuro Sumi Tattoo Ink is manufactured in state-of-the-art clean rooms that are designed to minimize the risk of contamination.

These rooms are equipped with advanced filtration systems that eliminate foreign particles, ensuring that the ink is free from any harmful contaminants. We also utilize industry-standard equipment and implement strict protocols to prevent cross-contamination.  

Certifications & Compliance

ISO 13485

Kuro Sumi is ISO 13485 certified, which means that the ink is produced in compliance with the highest international safety standards. This certification is given to companies that manufacture medical devices and indicates that the company has a comprehensive quality management system in place to ensure that our products are safe and effective. 

CTL

We’re proud to have received the CTL certification, the most rigorous and thorough process for testing the purity and safety of tattoo pigments. CTL GmbH is an accredited testing laboratory with over 20 years of experience analyzing tattoo products for regulatory compliance and purity. The CTL certification ensures that the ink is safe and meets all regulatory requirements. 

REACH Compliant & BVL Registered

We go above and beyond to offer innovative solutions for tattoo artists around the world, possessing EU REACH compliant and BVL registered inks with our tattoo ink line, IMPERIAL.

Every ink must meet tight specification criteria to meet Kuro Sumi product standards before qualifying for approval.

Innovate. Inspire.

Vegan & Cruelty Free

Our ink is 100% vegan and cruelty-free. No animal testing, and no animal products, making them a safe and ethical choice for tattoo artists and clients.

We possess a wide range of vegan ink options, including REACH Compliant and BVL Registered colors.

SDS

Kuro Sumi Tattoo Ink provides Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for all our products, which contain essential safety information such as ingredients, hazards, handling, and storage instructions.

This information is essential for tattoo artists and clients to ensure that our ink can use the ink safely and effectively.  

Formulation & Healing

Kuro Sumi's Quality Control laboratory considers three distinct types of color analysis for every batch of finished ink produced: bottle tone, mass tone, and undertone.

The undertone is analyzed through side-by-side drawdowns versus the product Master Standard, making it the strongest indicator of healed results for tattoo ink products.

Conclusion

The truth is, we are the standard for safety and quality in the tattooing industry. Our state-of-the-art clean rooms and innovative formulations are just a few of the ways we prioritize safety and excellence at every step. We hold ISO and CTL certifications, safety data sheets, and offer 100% vegan and cruelty-free options, making Kuro Sumi the safest ink out there. When you choose Kuro Sumi Tattoo Ink, you're not just getting the best-healed results with true color matching, but you're elevating your tattooing experience to a whole new level. So, why settle for less when you can have the best?
