About

  • What are Quantum Tattoo Inks made of?

    Quantum Tattoo Inks are made from the highest-quality, vegan, and cruelty-free ingredients — with full transparency:

    • Organic Pigments: Natural, earth-sourced pigments (never animal-derived).
    • Kosher Vegetable Glycerin: Vegan, plant-based, and acts as a lubricant and humectant.
    • Ethyl Alcohol: Provides antiseptic and antibacterial protection.
    • Distilled Water: Purified and mineral-free.
    • Eucalyptus Leaf Extract: Natural antiseptic and anti-inflammatory
    • Thymol (Thyme): Antibacterial and antifungal properties.
    • Menthol (Mint): Adds fragrance and mild soothing effects.
  • What is the pigment concentration?

    Most Quantum inks contain around 60% pigment, compared to many other brands at 50% or less — giving brighter, more vibrant colour and longer-lasting results.

  • What’s the best black ink?

    It depends on your style — here are our key black inks and pigment loads:

    • Assphalt: 55%
    • Bitchin Black: 50%
    • Black Dynomite: 60%
    • Lining Black: 15%
    • Sculpting Black: 60%
  • Are Quantum Tattoo Inks vegan and cruelty-free?

    Yes — always have been. No animal products, no animal testing, and fully vegan-certified.

  • Are Quantum inks safe and compliant?

    Yes. All inks are UK-compliant and meet UK and global safety standards. Every batch is lab-tested and gamma-sanitised for quality and safety.

Products & Use

  • How can I dilute Quantum inks?

    Use only our Holy Water Mixing Solutions:

    • Colour Solution – for colour inks.
    • Shading Solution – for black inks.

    These maintain pigment strength and consistency. Other products are not recommended.

  • Do you sell aftercare products?

    Yes — Quantum Aftercare helps heal fresh tattoos and doubles as a moisturiser.


    It’s made from organic ingredients like olive oil, rose hips, calendula, cocoa butter, chamomile, and rosemary for soothing, healing, and antiseptic benefits.

  • What sizes are available?

    Most inks come in 30ml bottles.

    Selected shades are also available in 20ml, 120ml, and 240ml sizes (e.g. Barry White, Bitchin Black).

  • How do you guarantee safety?

    All pigments are thoroughly tested by experienced tattoo artists before release, ensuring no irritation or quality issues. Every batch is gamma-sanitised to remove bacteria and microorganisms.

Performance & Results

  • Do vegan inks fade faster or remove easier?

    No — Quantum’s vegan inks last just as long as traditional inks. Longevity depends on aftercare and sun protection, not ingredients.

  • Is vegan ink better for skin?

    Yes. Quantum’s organic, vegan formula avoids artificial chemicals and preservatives, making it gentler for sensitive skin.

  • Are vegan inks more expensive?

    Not necessarily — Quantum inks are competitively priced with other premium brands. You can save by buying colour sets instead of individual bottles.

  • Can I make metallic tattoos?

    There’s no true metallic ink on the market, but skilled artists can recreate metallic effects using Quantum’s colour range.

  • Can I mix my own grey wash?

    Yes — use Holy Water Shading Solution for dilution.

    Or use our pre-made Quantum Gray Wash range for consistent shades.

    Pre-formulated for detail and smooth gradient tones.


    Our UK-compliant range includes:
