This Cristal Shading and Mixing solution from Panthera is truly a premium product available to professional tattoo artists. The specially formulated gel solution contains Hamamelis (also known as witch hazel) and Aloe Vera extract. Using it gives to a strong antibacterial and astringent solution for tattooing. This gives the ink a more fluid consistency and will help to disperse any tattoo pigment. The semi-gel product allows you to have an extended period of time for colouring and shading as the ink will stay in the tip for longer. The ink will not be put out as fast and in doing so slows the process down of dispersing the ink. This creates a more uniform flow of ink (like a ball point pen) flowing down to the needles tip. This causes the ink to stay for a longer time in the machine tip, and permits for a longer working session without having to dip for more ink. It can enhance any colour filling and shading work done on a tattoo and is compatible with all tattoo inks so you are still able to use your favourite colours and pigments. It has also been sterilized by gamma ray to make it even more pure for use in the skin.
