What is tattoo ink made from .?

  • i mean what is the carrier for the pigment and what is the best brand to use

  • Answer:

    : You can't be 100% certain! Manufacturers of inks and pigments are not required to reveal the contents. A professional who mixes his or her own inks from dry pigments will be most likely to know the composition of the inks. However, the information is proprietary (trade secrets), so you may or may not get answers to questions. Most tattoo inks technically aren't inks. They are composed of pigments that are suspended in a carrier solution. Contrary to popular belief, pigments usually are not vegetable dyes. Today's pigments primarily are metal salts. However, some pigments are plastics and there are probably some vegetable dyes too. The pigment provides the color of the tattoo. The purpose of the carrier is to disinfect the pigment suspension, keep it evenly mixed, and provide for ease of application.

that is all crap. no one uses henna paste for tattoo ink. it wont work. second, manufacturers do have to disclose ingredients because it is going in your skin. just contact for ingredients list. california even requires them to state in a warning label that some inks contain lead, zinc, copper, mercury, and other metals because they ( in heavy doses) cause cancer. each ink is different. oil based inks will be thick and water or alcohol based will be thin and watery. best ink depends on the artist, experience, and style of art attempted. my opinion is intenze inks or millenium but that is because they are thick and go in brite and quik. for outlining i use kuro sumi dragon black. 18 bucks a bottle but will do over 600 tats.

Some people use Henna, but there are different compounds depending on how you want it to look.
