The Ink Tank is shown next to Inkling's [[damage meter]], in a color matching her current [[Ink (disambiguation)|ink]] color (which is in turn determined by her costume). It holds 150 units of ammunition, which are consumed in varying amounts by various attacks. In particular, the line on the Ink Tank, which is at 20% or 1/5 of ink capacity, shows how much ink will be expended by throwing a [[Splat Bomb]]. If Inkling does not have enough ink for a move, it will deal less damage and knockback, and certain moves will have no effect at all.

The ink tank can be gradually replenished at any time by holding the special button while shielding, or when the ink tank is completely empty, via neutral special or down special. The ink tank is also fully restored when Inkling is KO'd.

The Ink Tank is the {{uv|Splatoon}} series' equivalent to the ammo mechanics seen in traditional shooters. It is emptied by firing main weapons and using sub weapons, and is refilled while being submerged in ink via the swim form.
