Iv had a few tattoos and only too late did I realize how toxic the inks I had injected into me are. Im wondering if anyone knows of any safe inks on the market. Im thinking of just making a traditional ink out of burnt wood mixed with some vegetable oil or vodka for my next tattoo. How does this sound to you guys?

I'll do a little research when I have a sec, but I hope there is something truly non toxic out there because i'd like to get some ink done but not at the expense of having toxins constantly leeching in to my system!

I'm guessing this is what you were referring to with the wood ash and vodka? That sounds fairly safe to me. Not ideal, but as long as you weren't making sleeves or capes then a couple small tattoo's from this recipe wouldn't be the worst thing ever.

Yeah, thats the recipe i was talking about.

I don’t know about the chemistry of these contents but you should not try it. I have not heard about these types of ink. Natural black pigment is made by using the log wood.

Just go jailhouse

If anyone finds info on safe tattoo ink,let me know.I would like to get another tat myself.

Everyone here is getting tattoos.
I think might start up a tattoo removal business, it'll be booming in a few years.
