Umi Blue

Umi Blue Tattoo Ink from Kokkai Sumi Inks merges centuries-old Japanese sumi ink-making techniques with modern tattoo ink production, resulting in a strong, clear blue inspired by the vastness of the open sea ("umi" in Japanese).

Our methods of controlling the flow, intensity, and gradation of ink have been honed by pigment chemists and artisans across four generations, combining experience from truly high quality ink and tattoo ink.

At Kokkai Sumi, we honor these traditional techniques to produce tattoo inks finely tuned for the demands of the modern tattoo industry. Our inks maintain the same balance of smooth flow and vibrant pigment, offering tattoo artists the control they need for detailed linework, dynamic shading, and consistent color application.

Key Features:

• Inspired by traditional sumi ink techniques, offering modern performance.
• Crisp blue tone for vibrant designs and seascape-inspired work.
• Smooth, even application for large fills and precise detail.
• Free from animal byproducts and harmful additives.
