What can you use to make your own ink for graffiti?

Answer 1

If you are making a pen for tagging with, you could make a simple ink that will stain surfaces and become what we would call "Unbuffable."

First, you basically get a paint that you want to use as the colour of the ink, make sure the paint is not acrylic. I would just choose a basic colour if this is your first time making an ink.

Secondly, get some paint thinner and get your paint, mix the two till it is half paint half thinner.

The reason we want the ink to be thin is so that it can seep through the nib of our pen.

Now we add the item to our mix that will make the tag unbuffable, we use a basic oil such as fish oil and add that to our recipe so that it is a 2/3 paint and thinner and 1/3 oil.

God knows how this works, but I've been making pens for a good couple of years now and this is probably my favourite but most basic pen.

I learned a lot of recipes from my mates and from the internet.

So keep searching graffiti writers (Y) peace.

Another Chemical you can add to your inks is acetone. It beats the buff six times over but be careful when using it because it may burn your skin.

To make alcohol based ink you will need...

1. around 30-50 biros

2. alcohol base(this can range from 70% rubbing alcohol to pure ethanol)

3. nail polish remover or acetone (optional)

4. fish oil capsules (optional, try to get odourless ones because they made my ink smell like fish(( can be replaced by WD-40 or RP-7, i find they smell a little bit better than fish oil!))

5. a large plastic bottle to mix the ink in

-method-

1. pour enough alcohol into your bottle to half-fill it

2. extract the ink tubes from the biros an put them in the bottle.(you should see all the alcohol changing to whatever colour the ink is in the biros

3. add you choice of stainers( i would use mostly acetone and fish oil capsules)

4. put the cap on and shake it up so it all mixes together.

5. wait maybe 30 minutes for the ink to draw from the pens
