Hello! Can someone help me please??

I am allergic to hair dye so bad that I nearly had a hart attack last year. I rally want another tattoo, now I've looked up what chemicals are used in the ink and hair dye. They are different, would it be wise to get another one??

can somebody help me with the market statistics, competitors in the business and some advertising strategies for tattoos. I am trying to compile a report on starting a tattoo business. And it is for a bioscience class so im going to focus on safety issues like quality of ink and removal alternatives.

Kula, Hope this helps...

Brown dyes are created using venetian Red, a ferric oxide derivative, or from cadmium salts.

Both brown dye derivatives have been known to cause phototoxic reactions when exposed to sunlight.

Thanks Jodie, Any idea what those brown pigments contain? My interest is not to get a tattoo done home, but to know what is there.

thank you very much again for the response.

Kula, I would have no idea how that could be done safely and would not recommend it. Please leave all tattoo ink work to the professionals for your own safety.

Could somebody tell me how to make Brown (dark skin colour) tattoo pigment at home please.

Fury,

Although your technique sounds interesting, we always recommend anyone wishing for body art seeks professional service. Your idea sounds dangerous and shouldn't be tried at home. Thanks for contributing.

want to make your own ink? try this... get a disposable razor and set it on fire take a glass sheet and hold it over the smoke to collect all the soot take a razor and scrape the soot off the glass, mix it with mouthwash until its inky looking and get your needle and go to town...
