In Japanese tattooing, there is use of a lot of water. It was a necessity to blend turquoise tattoo ink color to create three-dimensional Japanese waves. When mixed with blues, this color tattoo ink creates a special shade, which can only be achieved with this turquoise as a base. This color is used by Japanese masters to highlight dragons as additional dimensions. This color likes to be cut especially with white.

All dragon colors can be seen on Mario Barth's back and are designed and specially mixed by Horitoshi I.
