Questions and Answers about DIY tattoos

Earnest Questions with Earnest Answers…

Hello! I did some stick and pokes about 4 years ago with an India ink which I can’t remember the brand name of and a sewing needle. They’re both about 2 inches circular (a sun and a moon) on my ankle. Now back then there was little information about what inks to use, what needles were appropriate and how to sanitize needles; luckily I did not ever get an infection and the tattoos both came out pretty dark and faded a pretty blue-ish color.
Now what I’m wondering about is toxicity of India ink and chrome from needles, and how long it would take for effects to be considered benign or if there could be long term effects from some of those compounds.
I’m not sure that you all would have any information on this but figured I’d ask. I would assume that if there was some […]

FREQUENTLY ASKED (VERY DOUCHELY) QUESTIONS

1. This kit is dumb. Fuck you!

Use your words. I can’t tell what your problem actually is.

2. You’re probably selling to kids!

I work very hard to keep this kit away from those under 18. My payment does not allow funds from a person who is under 18. I market to only over 18 advertising on Google, Facebook, Instagram, etc. If I suspect someone is not 18, I cancel the order. Packaging is plain, there is no fun mascot and there is no candy. I really wanted to put candy, because I like candy and it would be cool to have like a Swedish fish in there, but I don’t want kids to want it for the candy and slyly steal parent’s credit cards and then bribe the mailman in order to get the candy in the kit. This kit, I readily admit, […]

More needle types for complicated DIY tattoos

We hear that people want to try more needle types in order to create a thicker line and do some other tricks. We are therefore phasing these into our EXPERT KIT. After your initial kit, you can get an Expert kit, which now contains three 7 Round Liners! That is seven little itty bitty needles mushed onto the needle shaft. These little ones hold ink and create a thicker line. (3 Round Liners are 3 little ones, 5 is five and so on…) Enjoy!
