When you choose to have a tattoo or permanent makeup treatment, you’re placing your trust in your artist.
Part of honoring that trust means maintaining the highest standards of safety, hygiene,
and professional accountability — and that includes carefully tracking the inks used during your appointment.
Every ink has a brand, name, batch number, supplier, and expiry date.
By recording these details, your artist ensures that only safe, compliant, and in-date products are used.
Professional-grade inks are subject to strict manufacturing standards, and in rare cases, manufacturers may issue recalls.
Because your artist tracks their inks, they can quickly identify whether any product used in your treatment is affected and contact you if necessary.
This adds an extra layer of protection and peace of mind.
Ink tracking also helps ensure that products are not used beyond their recommended shelf life or after being open for longer than advised by the manufacturer.
Over time, inks can change in stability or sterility, so monitoring these timelines helps maintain the highest level of safety and quality for your skin.
This is where Sukiru supports your artist.
Sukiru is a professional system designed specifically for tattoo and permanent makeup artists.
It helps artists track ink batches, monitor expiry dates, receive alerts about recalls and provides additional information on the inks they use.
It also assists with general artist administration, including appointment scheduling, storing session notes, and securely keeping treatment records.
By using Sukiru, your artist can stay organised, compliant, and focused on delivering the best possible results — while knowing that important safety checks are handled systematically in the background.
By providing you with a record of the inks used, your artist is demonstrating transparency and professionalism.
It shows a commitment not just to artistry, but to compliance, hygiene, and your long-term wellbeing.
Not to mention the ability to easily match colours on previous work they've done, by documenting each client session.
Choosing an artist who tracks their inks means choosing someone who takes your safety seriously — before, during, and long after your appointment. ❤️
