Distilled water can be extremely useful within the tattoo industry to ensure that you can revive and rejuvenate inks that have been exposed to heat or separated in travel. Distilled water is ideal for creating the ideal fluid consistency you need for accurate ink application in the skin with your favourite machine and needle set up. Many artists use distilled water for creating black and grey tattoos, as it allows them to create a multitude of shades from a limited selection of inks. This means that the blending and shading can be much more gradual and seamless, creating a better overall effect in the tattoo design.
