Tattoo Inks
What are your options for getting a tattoo if you have sensitive skin alergies? different inks maybe?
i’ve got very sensitive skin but i’d like to get a tattoo… are there alternative inks or ways to find out if it will have a severe effect on my skin?
also very allergic to red food dye #40. will this make a difference while getting a tattoo?
I also have sensitive skin and I am allergic to white ink so when I went back for a touch up, my artist used an organic white ink instead. I still had a reaction to the organic ink but it wasn’t as bad as the first time so he told me that I had to stay away from white ink but this past weekend I got tattoo #7 and it was w/ a different artist so what he did was break down the white w/ another color and to my surprise and relief I had no reaction. I’m not sure if it was because he broke the color down or maybe because it was a different brand of inks he used. So basically I would just recommend talking to an artist in person and tell them about your sensitive skin and they’ll tell you what your options are and what colors tend to make people react the most such as red ink.
