tattooing a dot will give you a much better visual idea of your allergy,
the smear test won’t always show the allergy as well since the skin isn’t broken.
when doing a tattoo for a client she was like my moms allergic to red so I might be too,
but I really want a red tattoo.
so we went over the aging of red tattoos and she said she doesn’t spend time outside so it should be ok.
but can still fade more than black.
Then we tattooed a red heart to test.
told her if it healed all messed up due to allergy I can put a black heart once it heals haha
red/pink/purple/white are the more common colors to be allergic to,
but you can be allergic to any color.
What kind of ink would work or could i contact a tattoo place in order for them to test it? Idk how one goes about that D:

Sunscreen or no sunscreen you’d have to be pretty dedicated to no sun.
im just being totally honest.
All colors break down much quicker than black so any sun exposure even with sun screen will cause the color to start to breakdown.
I’ve done them and warned clients they may not last long, maybe a couple years and they likely won’t age gracefully along the way.
the other thing is as tattoos age the ink breaks down under the skin naturally,
and colors tend to break down much quicker
like when you leave something in the sun and the color of the object fades, same thing but your skin.
there’s a reason black ink is used,
and the popular saying “bold will hold”
on that note for everyone here please avoid micro tattoos,
you’re setting yourself up for failure lol.
Idk if you know, but are there any colors to be more aware off? I used to be allergic to something in red and i somehow fear if i ever get a red tattoo ima react fr.Sunscreen or no sunscreen you’d have to be pretty dedicated to no sun.
