Do you mess with the photos at all to enhance the colors? The flowers are… unreal.

And are these inks tried and tested? I mean, how will they look in 20 years time? The normal thinking would suggest that anything that shines brightly at first will burn out quickly.

the inks are tried and tested. am i able to list the brand name? dont really know the rules about that here. they are the best on the market and originally started as 1 company, the owners battled then split and each created different ink companies. hands down best inks ive ever used. if my customers use spf 50 on their tattoos after they are healed they will last. however most arent that smart

Hmm.. dunno to be honest. Best be safe and not. Besides, you shouldn’t give away your secrets 😀

I was just wondering if anybody had these exact inks in them 20 years ago, and how well they’ve held up, comparatively speaking, next to other brands. This is just my natural pessimism/distrust speaking.. if it looks to good to be true, it probably is :p

haha thats true. ill keep it to myself for my own careers sake however most artists are familiar with this brand and if they arent then they are just plain dumb. regardless ive seen in person these inks 5 years later but not 20.
