    That's not the problem.. Suer it can provide solid pigment and strong color.. But it could be made out of toxic material like metal oxides and even mercury... They don't follow international FDA laws... That's a huuuuge risk and the effects on the body can be unpredictable

Can you use that with tattoo machines? Or is it also better not to use in general? Kind regards and keep up the good work. Yay learning🥳

    What are the top 10 reputable ink companies you would recommend? I am in the planning stages of two full sleeves but I don't want to get it done by someone who is greedy who would use cheap ink and cause or increase chances of cancer. I read a new study that some inks include auto body paint in it. Who would want that in their body and ask for slow painful death? Most important question is that even though somebody is a famous tattoo artist how do I know what are the ways to know that artist is using safe reputable ink? Thank you in advance for all the information guys

    ok ok ill be totally honest when i first started i got 3 different brands off amazon but figured out who the fakes where pretty quickly and lucky found two sellers of viking ink and intenze that seem to be real i took them to a local supply shop to show the artist that owns it and he was shocked i was able to find real ink on amazon but it also wasnt cheap either. the viking ink was affordable but pretty decent amd the intenze is amazing i actually used them on myself and have had no issues at all with it. but the first brand i got that was absolutely fake i ended up getting a refund from amazon for it as if you notify them for selling fake products they will remove the item so that seems to be decent of them at least? its funny cuz the ink i got from a local tattoo shop i actually like less then i do my ink from Amazon. who knew that id actually like Amazon's ink more. I also wont tattoo anyone not even a friend or family member other then myself until ive completed my course im taking. with covid in my area becoming an apprentice is almost next to impossible right now. im also in Canada i dont no if its different where you are? i love watching youre videos even if i already covered a certain topic i still want to go over it and learn others tips and tricks they learn along the way. you can never learn enough plus it helps youre fine as hell to haha

    MOM's Milenial ink is by far the first thing that comes to mind when I think fake ink. Tried their "nuclear UV ink" it wouldn't stay in my skin no matter how hard I shoved it in there or went over it. So when I reviewed the product and gave an honest opinion I received a refund for both the UV inks. That's how I know that brand is total shit. I've used Radiant and Dynamic off eBay. One Dynamic Heavy White doesn't seem to work like the Carolina Blue I got. The Radiant Irish Green, Blood Red, and Turbo Black hasn't seemed to give me as many issues.
