What Tattoo Artists Say About Electrum Tattoo Supplies
"My favorite thing about Electrum's Inks is how smooth it is to saturate and blend pieces! From mixing to applying, it's always so smooth and buttery! It's healed finish is also super satisfying and perfectly pigmented."
"I've been using their stencil transfer gel for years. I was excited to recently find out they offer so much more. Their own stencil paper, tattoo cartridges, grips. Just received my first order and my box had positive vibes all over it. I'm not a girl or anything and I've never used this word before... but it was adorable. Or "Adorbs" if my slang is hip."
"I've been using Electrum Ink for well over a year now when they first launched in Australia.I especially love the quirky and fun names of the colors! Even from my first use I noticed how easily they saturated into the skin and blended. My healed work definitely comes back super vibrant even with pastel colours."
"Searching for an XL (XXL) arm rest, and I’ve had experience with 2 big name brands. One “workshop” and Electrum. I can honestly say the one thing that set these two apart for me was the customer service and willingness to actually hear me, and help."
"The products they supply my tattoo guy make my tattoos so much easier!!! Thank you. He put the clear DERM layer (I think that's what it is called) helped with my healing so so so much!"
"Since I started using their full range, I've experienced the comfort, quality and outstanding performance they bring to the tattoo process. What I love the most is how functional everything is: each product is designed with professional logic, aimed at making every stage of the process easier and more efficient."
"This heals fucking black"

Does Color Ink Hurt More? The Truth Behind Reds, Whites, and Blacks
A client-friendly guide to pain, pigment, and what’s actually happening under your skin. There’s a long-standing rumor in tattoo shops that color tattoos hurt more — especially reds and whites. Some people swear red ink “burns,” others say white ink is torture, and blackwork feels the smoothest. But is any of that actually true? Let’s break down what’s myth, what’s science, and what’s simply technique. 1. The Color Itself Doesn’t Cause Pain Here’s the biggest truth upfront: Ink color does not determine pain. Your nerves don’t react to pigment — they react to: • needle configuration• speed• pressure• how many passes an area needs• how irritated the skin already is If the same needle and technique were used in the same spot, color wouldn’t magically hurt more than black. So why do people feel like it does? Because of what comes next. 2. Color Work Usually Takes More Passes Black ink typically saturates quickly and smoothly. It’s dense and flows well, which means fewer passes over the same line or area. Color ink — especially bright reds, yellows, and whites — often needs more careful layering: • more passes over the same spot• slower speed for smooth saturation• more time on irritated skin More passes = more irritation = more pain. It’s not the pigment hurting you — it’s how long your skin has been worked for. 3. White Ink Feels Worse Because It’s Done at the End This is the biggest reason clients say: “White highlights hurt the most.” By the time an artist pulls out the white ink, the skin is already: • irritated• swollen• tender• inflamed from previous passes White is rarely painful because it’s “white.”It’s painful because your tattoo is nearly finished — and your nerves are over it. 4. Red Ink Has a “Burning” Reputation — But Not for the Reason You Think A lot of clients describe red ink as: • spicy• burny• itchy• intense But again, this isn’t the pigment color causing the sensation. Possible explanations: 1. More passes – Reds often need smooth layering to look even.2. Sensitive skin types – Some people’s skin just reacts more visibly to trauma in areas filled with red.3. The body sees irritation as “redness” – so clients associate the color red with the feeling. In rare cases, people have sensitivities to certain red pigment ingredients — but that’s not pain during tattooing, it’s how the skin heals afterward (itching, bumps, irritation). Modern inks use safer, more stable formulas, but sensitivities still exist in a small percentage of clients. 5. Blackwork Feels Smoother, and There’s a Reason Black ink tends to: • saturate quickly• move efficiently through the skin• require fewer passes• glide better in most needle groupings Because the process is faster and cleaner, clients often report blackwork as: “sharp but manageable”“less stingy”“easier than color” This isn’t psychological — it’s the physics of how smooth black pigment flows. 6. The Body Part Matters More Than the Color Color vs. black doesn’t matter nearly as much as where you’re being tattooed. Least sensitive areas:• outer arm• thigh• upper arm• calf Most sensitive areas:• ribs• inner arm• spine• kneecap• elbow ditch• ankle• sternum If you compare a red tattoo on the upper arm to a black tattoo on the ribs, the ribs will win the pain contest every time. 7. Skin Condition, Hydration, and Stress Change Pain Levels Your body’s state can dramatically change the experience: • dehydrated skin hurts more• dry skin hurts more• stressed or anxious clients feel pain more intensely• poor sleep amplifies sensitivity Clients who come in rested, hydrated, exfoliated, and moisturized usually report smoother sessions. 8. Technique Is the Biggest Variable Some artists pack color with soft, smooth passes. Others work quickly but more aggressively. Some machines are tuned for gentle saturation; others hit harder. Pain varies because artists vary — not because ink is colored. So, Does Color Hurt More? Here’s the Real Answer: Color doesn’t hurt more because it’s color.It hurts more because: • it often needs more passes• it’s placed later in the session• the skin is already irritated• certain pigments require extra layering• your nerves are tired by the time you get highlights Black tends to feel smoother simply because it saturates quickly. White tends to feel sharper because it’s used last.Red tends to feel “spicy” because it takes more smoothing to lay it in evenly. The pain is about process, not pigment.
