The Tattoo Allergy Journey

[amigone]

In my journey with my newest tattoo, I've found very few photos of an allergic response to red ink. The ink used by my artist was Eternal, I'm not sure of the exact shade.

First, this was the tattoo right after she finished it.

another red ink would likely cause the same problem and it probably isnt worth hamburgering it to test it out. Once it has healed totally, see if it can be salvaged with black, or if you are set on more of a red look, use branding then circle the pink brand once healed with black for crisp lines.

I like red because that's how the nitrogen molecules are shown in textbooks...

I'd never thought about branding... But pink could work.

ouchie. sorry to hear :( the body decides for us, sometimes! :(

this might not help but have you tried taking benadryl or reactine or something for the allergic reaction? could help.

Maybe a vegan ink would have a better reaction? They are a bit more expensive but if you're not going to react like that.

That blows :( I would be past 'kinda' disappointed and probably be crying. :(
