The tattoo ink basically consists of a pigment combined with a carrier and is used to draw tattoos on the human body. Tattoo inks also include various additives, such as fillers, binding agents, surfactants, and preservatives. Tattoos have been a part of our world culture. The art of tattoo making dates back from centuries ago. Earlier it was used as a symbol for an indication of family lineage and religious beliefs. But today tattoo has become a style & fashion statement that an individual decides to wear on his/her body for their entire life. The inclination of youth towards tattoos and social acceptability has driven the tattoo ink market for the past two decades.  

Worldwide demand for tattoo ink is growing at a rapid pace. Global demand for tattoo ink is expected to be driven by the inclination of youth towards body art and an increased number of tattoo artists and professionals. The major restraint towards the tattoo ink market is the stringent regulations & restrictions led by the government for the manufacture of tattoo ink. These regulations are made to safeguard the consumers and thus stopping a potentially large outbreak of infection worldwide.

Based on type, the market is segmented into Black & Grey tattoo inks and colored tattoo inks. Black & Grey tattoo inks held the largest market share in 2018 whereas colored tattoo inks segment is expected to register moderate CAGR over the forecast period. The demand for colored tattoo inks has increased in the near future due to the interest of consumers diverting from basic black & grey color ink to colored tattoo inks.

Based on pigment, the market is segmented into mineral, organic, and others. In the last two decades, the use of tattoo ink has shifted from mineral-based pigments to organic pigments. This is also due to the rise in awareness about organic pigments and regarding consumer safety. Consumers often find themselves allergic to iron oxides present in mineral pigment which has made them cautious about the type of pigment in the tattoo ink which is going to be injected within their body.
