me yellow ink won't stay in

[snordoff]

hi everyone,yeah i'm a newbie and havin' problems with my yellow ink it seems a lot thicker than the rest of the inks ive got and when its put in the skin and healed up ya can't see it it's like its vanished any ideas ? :?

[deebo]

some ppl tend to reject yellow and white also...my wife is one of these ppl...just falls out after its healed...not a whole lot ya can do about it really that i can think of. I also run my machines a little slower when putting yellows /whites in, to make sure the skin is saturated with pigment without mincing the skin up.

the guy i put the yellow in, took white no problem but like you say it may just be that he don't do yellow, cheers

What brand?

[snordoff]

its eds head yellow came with the kit, probably not the best ink in the world, if anyone has any ideas on which ink is good to use and where to get it from i'd love to know :)

i bought eds head sample ink set and they are rubbish the yellow was crap ,use eternal,starbrite,intenze,millenium,skin candy any of those are good colours you can buy them in sample sets , which is what i do then the colours i like best i buy a larger bottle ,i find different brands do some colours better than others , but its usually down to individual preference

hope this helps

cheers

Have to agree about the eds head ink! i bought the complete range in sample size,used them once but never again.
Total dog poo

Never tried the Eds, but can say Starbrite white and yellow kicks azz. Just ordered some Iron Butterfly today from Chris here, and am interested in trying it.

Put a couple of drops of white in with the yellow.

eds head ink aint too hot i have now switched to starbrites

I gotta say starbrite and iron butterfly both are good inks for yellow. also i found that bullet tip aka short taper needles work real well for packin in the yellow and white

before i ever did tattoos a tattoo artist i knew told me that you have to work the yellow a little harder than most colors. he also said that it has a tendency to not show up until the tattoo has healed fully.
i thought he was just bullshiting me or something, but now that i do tattoos, ive found that he was 100% right on.
i use millenium hello yellow and pound it in. then about 3-4 weeks later it just pops up and is nice and bright.
hope that helps a little.
