Soft lavender and pastels to deep grape and rich violet.
Purple is the color artists reach for when they need drama and depth — night skies, orchids and irises, gemstones, and the cool shadow that gives a cover-up its strength. INTENZE purple tattoo ink spans the full range, from soft lavender to deep violet, with saturation that heals smooth and vivid instead of graying out. This collection organizes the purples so you can reach for the exact tone the work needs.
Choosing the right purple
For soft, pastel passages and highlights, Lavender is your gentle, cool light purple, while Light Purple is the clean light-to-mid workhorse — also offered in Mario Barth's signature Gold Label. For rich, jewel-toned body, Grape delivers a saturated mid-purple that reads bold on skin. When you need depth — shadow, night skies, and the cool anchor of a cover-up — Dark Purple is your deep violet. And for metallic and gemstone work, Purple Silver throws the cool-to-warm shift that sells polished stone and jewelry.
Mixing and using purple
Purple is a secondary — red plus blue — so you can push it warm toward red-violet or cool toward blue-violet depending on the mood, and lighten it with white for the full lavender-to-pastel range. Its complement is yellow: a touch of yellow nearby makes a purple vibrate, and a hair mixed in knocks a too-electric purple back to something natural. Because a deep purple reads cooler and denser than most colors, it is one of the strongest tools for cover-ups and for the shadow side of florals and skies. Keep a light and a dark purple on the palette and you can model an orchid or a night sky from highlight to shadow without leaving the family.
Made in the USA for professional artists
Every purple in this collection is manufactured in the USA to professional standards — vegan, cruelty-free, sterile, and batch-coded. From soft lavender to deep grape, these inks are built to heal smooth and hold their tone for the life of the tattoo.
