Tattoo ink mixers and mixing supplies — electric vortex mixers, rotating ink racks and magnetic stirrers that keep every color perfectly blended and ready to use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the best tattoo ink mixer?
A vortex mixer — it spins ink at thousands of RPM for a perfectly blended, sediment-free cup in seconds. Look for high RPM (the VM-300 runs at 10,000 RPM), a stable housing that won't walk off the table, and cups that fit standard ink caps. For the studio centerpiece, a rotating ink rack keeps 48 bottles mixed and displayed at once.
Q2: What is a tattoo ink shaker?
The same thing as a tattoo ink mixer — “ink shaker” is just the nickname artists use for vortex mixers like the INKSHAKER S100. Drop your ink cup in, run it a few seconds, and settled pigment is fully re-suspended.
Q3: Do I need an ink mixer if my ink is brand new?
Yes — pigments settle even in sealed bottles, which is why the first squeeze from a new bottle can look thin. A few seconds on a vortex mixer before every session keeps colors consistent from the first drop to the last.
