Solid Ink Horitomo Colour Sets
If you’re serious about Japanese-inspired work, the Solid Ink Horitomo range is where you need to be. Created in collaboration with master tattooer Horitomo, each shade is tuned for classic motifs, smooth backgrounds, and those subtle transitions that make the style sing. The Solid Ink Horitomo set combines considered colour choices with specialist sumi tones — the traditional, soft Japanese black and grey ink, used to create deep, rich, and balanced shading — giving you ready-made harmony straight out of the bottle. Whether you’re building full sleeves, backpieces, or smaller tattoos with a nod to tradition, these inks are designed to flow, blend, and heal exactly how you need them to. Less time guessing mixes, more time focusing on composition, detail, and storytelling.
Solid Ink Horitomo for true Japanese Flair
The Solid Ink Horitomo range is made for artists who care about more than just bright colour. It’s for those thinking about balance, flow, and how a piece will read years down the line. Between the colour sets and dedicated sumi tones, you get tools that respect tradition while still feeling perfectly tuned for modern machines and techniques.
Designed with Japanese composition in mind
Rather than being a mix of bright shades, each Solid Ink Horitomo set has been curated to work as a cohesive toolbox. The colours are chosen with classic imagery in mind — think florals, masks, animals, waves, and clouds — so you can move from foreground to background without fighting your palette.
Softer tones sit comfortably behind bolder elements, and the more striking reds and accent shades give you the impact you need without overpowering the whole piece. It’s a range that helps you think in full bodies and large layouts, not just individual tattoos.
Sumi tones that make backgrounds effortless
The sumi side of the Solid Ink Horitomo range is all about smooth, reliable gradients. The blacks and greys are built for mist, water, scales, and atmospheric backgrounds that need to feel deep but not heavy. They flow cleanly, build up in layers without chewing the skin, and heal with that soft, smoky finish you want from proper Japanese-inspired work.
Pair your Horitomo colours and sumi staples from the wider Solid Ink Colours range, then round things off with quality tattoo needles and cartridges, and aftercare to make sure every large-scale project heals as strong as it looks on the day.
