Methods, Colors, Design

I don’t want to be boring with technical details so I will just run trough what I use the most. Tattoo machines I use include coil: Micky Sharpz Hybrid, specially re-fabricated no-name machine, and two custom made machines by my friend “Bumbar custom made machines” and rotary: Cheyenne Thunder. Rest of the electronics is by Eikon. For colors I tend to use Fusion tattoo ink the most, Intenze colors and Eternal Ink. All other materials, from needles and tubes to glows and paper towels, are factory sterilized and one use only.

For the moment my favorite styles are water color and trash style but it more depends of the moment and the motif than what I like to do.

As far as designs go, I think I like skulls and horror designs the most, but sometimes realism, “new school” or “old school “ motifs are just as fun. It really depends on allot of factors.

Sometimes it is just better to play it safe and don't use something you personally don't feel is been tested enough. I was never that interested in UV ink but I see how cool it can look with a color design. I newer knew that that kind of ink can be bad for health and this is a valuable info, thank you. Anyway, better safe than sorry.... :)

As i know the main issue and the most dangerous one is cancer cause of the chemicals put inside the ink aside from various skin conditions, and to mention again that i haven't researched that much this topic.Mine main concern is that no top tattoo ink brands don't make them and you cannot order them through the official tattoo suppliers for Germany as i mainly use those suppliers. Normally i know that they make alot of problems for normal tattoo inks for example one brand is not approved in Germany but is top selling in US, one is ok for UK and not approved in US. For me i think that is not worth the risk to play with people health.... i don't know what more to say about it. As for the similar effect... you can probably make something with contrasting colors and white highlights..but it still won't glow in the dark :(

NOoowaay. This complicates my design and timetable for tattoo. If I choose to do it without UV colors, it will not be so cool looking on lights. well,Any replacement that I can use to gain that glow contrast?

How dangerous it can be? You mean skin problems or maybe even worse something with blood? Few friends has it and nobody spoke about possible problems.

If you are speaking about UV ink, all i know is that those colors are not tested enough and most likely very bad for the health, none of the top selling tattoo ink brands don't produce them and i haven't seen that you can buy them trough the tattoo equipment distributors that i used. I personally don't use them and don't plan too until they are safe enough, so i dont know how or where you can get them. I must say "on the record" that i think that it's not a good idea to put something in your skin that is probably very dangerous for your health and cannot in good conscience recommend use of Uv colors.

Im starting to sketch a new tat with pagan motives. If your not familiar with it I can send it to you in message becouse I want to know if the white - glow ink is hard to find and is it expensive as many people says it is? No matter what price to be i will try to make it happen.
