The Tattoo 650ml mixing glass in two lines
The Tattoo is a mixing glass in lead-free Luxion crystal with an etched body: 650ml capacity and the clarity of crystal.
Who it is for
For bars that stir in full view of the guest and wash the mixing glass every night. The material is the reason to choose this model over one in ordinary glass, and the difference shows over months more than on the first day.
Luxion crystal, and the number that sets it apart
It is not ordinary glass: it is an eco crystal, meaning lead-free, rated for 4,000 wash cycles without losing clarity. On a piece that goes through the glass washer every night that means years rather than months, and it shows: a clouded mixing glass can no longer be shown to a guest while you work, so it gets replaced even when it is intact. The Tattoo starts from there, and the etching is the second reason.

Why clarity matters on this tool
Stirring is the one technical move the guest watches from start to finish: twenty or thirty seconds in which nothing happens except the ice turning. If the glass is cloudy that moment loses its point, and you might as well work in a steel tin. Crystal keeps its clarity longer than ordinary glass because its structure is denser and less porous at the surface.
What eco crystal means
That it contains no lead. Traditional crystal owes its brilliance and weight to lead oxide, a material nobody wants in contact with food any more. Modern crystals replace it with other oxides, reaching the same optical density and a harder surface, which is the technical reason for the 4,000 rated washes. On the Tattoo, the word eco means exactly this.
650ml
With ice up to two thirds there is room for about 200ml of liquid: two stirred drinks, or one with enough space for the cubes to move. It is the most common capacity in bars that work drink by drink, and it pairs with a 30cm bar spoon.
Glass or steel, the choice that comes first
A double-walled steel mixing tin holds temperature better than any glass and does not break, but it hides everything happening inside. A clear mixing glass does the opposite: you see the ice turn and the frost climb, and on an open bar that is half the value of the move. The Tattoo sits on the glass side, with crystal that stands up to daily washing better than ordinary glass, which softens the main drawback of that choice.
Care
Dishwasher safe, which is the point of this material. Load it with space around it so the rim stays clear of other glasses. Rinse the etching straight after thick syrups and wash with a soft sponge, so the cut faces keep catching the light.
