another uv ink question....

[krow]

ive recently done a few blacklight tattoos and not one, but two of my customers reported a slight "warming" sensation where the uv ink was applied.nothing too uncomfortable and they said it quit after about 20-30 min.I was just wondering if this was normal.im concerned that maybe my inks might have froze during shiping cause they where ordered them durning winter months.if my ink did freeze how can i tell?it still glows fine but im concerned the micro sphears might have broken :shock: but other than the warming sensation there was no other addverse reactions and one of my cleits are fully healed now and happy with the tat.also both the people who complained of this also have other tattoos so its not just your normal road rash after feeling common to a new tattoo.ummm i may have overworked a little would this cause the warming feeling?someone let me before i scrap these inks...thanx

when U buy from them , they only ship in the begining of the weeks , so your package dosnt sit in a cold warehouse . Did it sit outside for a while , before u brought it in ?
Oh , and if u leave the bottles sitting up right for a while , does the ink seperate from the water ? if it all looks the same after sitting , then Id say the microshperes have been ruptured, otherwise if u can see the stuff seperated then it should be ok .
I think the warming sensation might just be cause they have just been drilled on ...regardless of the type of ink u used ...ask any of your other clients what it feels like after a proceedure .

well the ink is still seperateing so i guess its still good. it just dont sound safe to it if those spheres break....i was just concerned that the warming feeling they where talking about was a result of the ink being bad but your prolly write about them just being drilled on......its thin ass ink and i have to really work it in there good,im actully afraid of overworking that ink cuase its so thin.thanx for the info

I have only acually used mine twice now , its kinda a pain cause they are so thin , but if u read the flyer that came with your order, it says to puor out some of the water if u want to make them a little thicker ... and having someone standing there holding the blacklight is a pain too .

id almost have to syphin out the water theres no"pouring"it without loosing ink.and i got a blacklight head lamp....works great i recommed getting one if your going to be doing alot or even a few uv tats.

where can you get uv ink?

[T-Bone]

these inks are interesting, how long does the UV effect actually last? Is it the life of the tattoo or a temp thing? Also interested in where to pick some of these up.

now on the web site it says under normal light it looks normal are they saying that the skin tone looks normal or whatever color your laying down?? basically what color is the pigment and can you see it in the skin without a blacklight?

Is it legal to use that ink in the states? Im not sure its legal in Europe..

It cant be good for the skin to get uv-colour in it? :?:

Have you experienced some problems with this ink?

A friend of mine is willing to try this ink, but im not sure i dare.. :shock:
