Inks & Pigments

Configure the inks, pigments, and supplies used when recording tattoo, microblading, permanent makeup, and removal sessions. These lists ensure consistency — instead of free-typing supply names each time, you select from pre-configured options.

PMU and microblading artists

These settings apply to all non-piercing service categories. Your pigment catalog and other supplies are configured here alongside tattoo inks.

Ink

The ink catalog is the shared list of inks available in your studio. Each ink has a name, base color, and manufacturer. This catalog is used when adding ink to a session and when building your personal My Ink collection.

When adding ink to a session, REV23 suggests your most frequently used inks first. If the service has previous sessions, inks used in those sessions are also suggested so you can quickly re-add the same colors. You can also add a new bottle to your My Ink collection directly from the session supply flow — enter the opened date and durability to start tracking it immediately.

Field	Description	Example
Name	The actual name of the ink.	Mediterranean Sea
Color	The base color of the ink.	Blue
Manufacturer	The manufacturer of the ink.	World Famous

Colors

Ink colors are base categories — Green, Red, Blue, Purple, etc. — not the specific names of individual inks. The specific name goes in the ink’s Name field. When adding ink to a session, you can filter by these colors to quickly find what you need. The default list covers the standard spectrum and rarely needs to be changed.

Manufacturers

Manufacturers (brands) of inks. When searching for ink to add to a session you can easily filter by these manufacturers.

Tubes

Disposable or autoclavable tubes that hold the needle (e.g. “1” Round Liner Tube”, “5F Flat Tube”). Only a Name field is required. When adding a tube to a session you are prompted for the lot number and expiration date for compliance tracking.

Grips

Grips attached to tattoo and PMU machines (e.g. “Disposable 1” Round Grip”, “Ergo Aluminum Grip”). Only a Name field is required. When adding a grip to a session you are prompted for the lot number and expiration date for compliance tracking.

Salves

Ointments, topical anesthetics, and aftercare products applied during the procedure (e.g. “Aquaphor”, “A&D Ointment”, “Hustle Butter”, “Dr. Numb”). Only a Name field is required.
