Why DOTINK's Drop-Based Blending System Is Revolutionizing SMP in America

The Problem Every SMP Artist Knows (But Nobody Talks About)

( * This is an example image generated by AI )

Have you ever mixed the "perfect" shade for a client—only to realize you can't replicate it the next session?

If you're an SMP artist in the U.S., the current industry standard—diluting concentrated black ink with distilled water using syringes—creates four major problems:

• Inconsistent ratios every single time
• Unpredictable color results from session to session
• Inevitable ink waste with leftover pigment
• Hygiene concerns with syringes and water bottles

And the biggest challenge? Training new team members becomes nearly impossible. How do you teach someone to "feel" the right dilution ratio?

What if there was a system so simple that even a new artist could achieve master-level consistency from day one?

The DOTINK Solution: Precision in Every Drop

DOTINK completely reimagined how SMP pigment should work. Instead of forcing artists to become chemists, we built a system around one simple principle:

8 drops. 9 tones. Every skin type covered.

Here's How It Works:

DOTINK offers two ready-to-use pigments in dropper bottles:

• BASIC (Light Black): Softer tone for lighter skin types or initial sessions
• ART (Dark Black): Deeper tone for darker skin types or tone-down sessions

Every blending ratio is standardized to 8 total drops.

• Want a lighter shade? → 8 drops of BASIC
• Need something darker? → 6 BASIC + 2 ART
• Want the deepest black? → 8 drops of ART

That's 9 distinct tones—from lightest to darkest—all perfectly reproducible every session.

Why This Changes Everything for Your Practice

1. Perfect Color Matching for Every Fitzpatrick Type

Whether your client has pale skin (Fitzpatrick I-II) or deep melanin-rich skin (Fitzpatrick V-VI), DOTINK's 9-tone system lets you dial in the exact shade they need. No more "close enough" compromises—you're using a proven formula designed for diversity.

2. Zero Guesswork, 100% Consistency

Traditional dilution methods create variables. DOTINK eliminates them.

7 BASIC + 1 ART today = 7 BASIC + 1 ART in six months = 7 BASIC + 1 ART for any artist on your team.

Result? Flawless, predictable outcomes every time.

3. Faster Training, Easier Team Scaling

Tell a new hire: "Session 1 for Fitzpatrick III? 8 drops of BASIC. Session 4? Switch to 4 BASIC + 4 ART."

No apprenticeships. No ambiguity. Training time drops by 70%. The visual, tactile system (counting drops) makes mistakes nearly impossible.

4. Less Waste, More Profit

DOTINK's pre-measured dropper system minimizes waste. You use exactly what you need—8 drops per ink cup—nothing more. That's hundreds of dollars saved per artist annually, plus higher client retention with consistent results.

5. Hygienic, Safe, Professional

Syringes and water bottles in pigment prep areas are contamination risks. DOTINK's sealed dropper bottles eliminate these entirely. You dispense directly from a sterile bottle into an ink cup—no cross-contamination, no guesswork about water purity.

Your clients see a streamlined, precise process that builds trust and repeat business.
