i heard UV ink got recalled because it was fatal. guess that’s what happens when you try to release something new. (source: asked a tattoo artist last year) ---

There has been multiple versions of UV ink. The ones that were about about a decade ago had some serious issues, but about 2-3 years ago a new company came out with a new version of it, that’s when I started looking serioulsy into it. I’m looking for a place that useses the new ink, that’s supossed to be safe. ---
