Doing the Math
Various bugs that share the same color element (they all can be red ink for example) can be combined to make said ink.
For Example:
30 Red Beetles + 11 Red Dragonfly + 9 Red Butterfly = 50 bugs with the same color element (Red),
therefore
30 Red Beetles + 11 Red Dragonfly + 9 Red Butterfly = 1 Vial of Red Ink
OR
25 Green Dragonfly + 25 Grasshopper = 50 bugs with the same color element (Green)
therefore
25 Green Dragonfly + 25 Grasshopper = 1 Vial of Green Ink

Additional Notes
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mixing inks for "special color inks" (such as pink) is free and can be done at Skin Tyte
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bugs can be converted into ink at Durem Depot

There is no such thing as a stupid opinion
You have a right to your beliefs...

I have a question: If white ink can be made with 5 red, 5 green, and 5 blue inks, how do I mix them? I have enough, but I can't figure out how to do it!

Thanks in advance. smile

But that doesn't mean your opinion is correct
Often it really is as simple as right and wrong.

you need to go to Skin Tyte, then the "buy tattoo" option, and scroll all the way down to the very bottom of the page, and right above the "my items" box, [which only shows your available vials of inks] there will be a list of inks you can make by mixing the ones you currently have.
