{"product_id":"radiant-imperial-red-tattoo-ink","title":"Radiant Imperial Red Tattoo Ink","description":"\u003cp\u003eRed is the colour that tattoo artists talk about most when they talk about inks letting them down. Too bright and it heals to a washed-out pink-red that loses all its presence within a year. Too dark and it reads as maroon rather than red — the richness is there but the colour identity is gone. The register between those two failure modes — a deeply saturated, rich red that holds its presence at the healed stage and still reads clearly as \u003cem\u003ered\u003c\/em\u003e rather than brown-adjacent — is exactly where \u003cstrong\u003eImperial Red\u003c\/strong\u003e was formulated to live. The newest addition to the Radiant red lineup, Imperial Red is a darker, more intense red that still holds brightness: deeper value than Radiant's Blood Red, richer and more complex than Scarlet Red's vivid orange-leaning brightness, but not so dark that it sacrifices red's fundamental visual identity. Made in the USA, pure uncut homogenised pigment, sterilized, vegan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour character:\u003c\/strong\u003e Darker, highly saturated deep crimson-red; richer and deeper than Blood Red, darker and more complex than Scarlet Red; still clearly red, not maroon or burgundy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHealed impact:\u003c\/strong\u003e Formulated for stronger healed results — deeper starting saturation maintains richer healed appearance through the fade arc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormula:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pure uncut homogenised pigment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplications:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japanese traditional botanical, large bold red fills, dark gothic florals, horror realism, gemstone realism, shadow red in colour compositions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStatus:\u003c\/strong\u003e New addition to the Radiant Colors palette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSterilized:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes — every batch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVegan:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Made in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBottle size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/2oz (15ml)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Artists Add Imperial Red to Their Setup\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDarker, richer red that still reads as red\u003c\/strong\u003e — the specific value register between Blood Red's mid-range and maroon\/burgundy's darkness; deep crimson with genuine visual weight rather than brightness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStronger healed impact by design\u003c\/strong\u003e — deeper starting saturation means the same proportional fade leaves more visual impact; the practical solution to the \"red faded by year three\" problem that most traditional artists have encountered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEssential for Japanese traditional botanical work\u003c\/strong\u003e — the specific red register that peonies, maples, and chrysanthemums require to read as rich and complex rather than bright and decorative within a dense composition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHolds large fill areas\u003c\/strong\u003e — darker value means significant red fills retain their visual substance over time; the bold traditional rose that still reads as richly red at five years rather than pink-red at three\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFunctions as shadow red within compositions\u003c\/strong\u003e — the deeper-value red that provides the shadow tone in multi-level red gradient work; enables genuine three-dimensional depth in red-dominant elements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHomogenised pigment for consistent flow and deposit\u003c\/strong\u003e — same Radiant manufacturing standard: uniform particle size, smooth application, no settling or inconsistency across the session\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVegan, sterilized, Made in the USA\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRadiant Colors Imperial Red is the deeper end of the Radiant red palette — the richer, more complex crimson for artists whose work places red in a context where it needs to carry compositional weight, hold through years of ageing, and contribute to visual depth rather than simply providing a bright accent.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Radiant","offers":[{"title":"1\/2oz","offer_id":48941223149824,"sku":"MTRIRE","price":9.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0137\/2268\/1402\/files\/IMPERIAL-RED_front_WEB_1024x1024_eaa55459-7936-4276-9657-a562e317673e.webp?v=1783356835","url":"https:\/\/www.mapletattoosupply.com\/fr\/products\/radiant-imperial-red-tattoo-ink","provider":"Maple Tattoo Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
