it doesn't lighten the color necessarily, but it does make it more transluscent. to lighten the colors, you add white. please dont be tattooing if you dont know the simple logic in it.
Tattoo ink would separate because it is water based so that it doesn't harm the body.
yes, for sure.
technically yes, you could scar the body in a designed manner. But no, you cannot really get a tattoo with pen ink. You will most likely get ink poisoning
sometimes if the black ink i very light, and there was a blue tattoo under it.
Make sure the shop you go to has a license, is clean and that they ONLY use disposable needles. If you don't see them pulling out a new, sterile needle each time they start a tattoo, then don't get a tattoo from them. - - - - - You're not likely to get a bloodborne disease from a tattoo needle. If you're going to get one from a tattoo shop, it will come from the ink. Tattoo artists don't like to use old needles, and needles aren't expensive--so, unless you go to someone who tattoos out of his house, you'll get new needles when you get a tattoo. The ink is a different story. It is expensive, and they can't use all of it when they give someone a tattoo. You put ink in a tattoo machine by dipping the tip in the ink and stepping on the footpedal, which causes the needle to pull ink into the reservoir. If you're refilling the machine during a tattoo, there's blood in the machine, which winds up in the ink. Some guys are tempted to put the unused ink back in the bottle. So...if you really want to see how good a shop you're dealing with, go watch them do a tattoo--they'll let you. If they finish the tattoo and immediately throw all the ink caps and excess ink into a biohazard bag, it's a safe shop. If they set the ink caps to the side for later, don't go there.
No. Black ink has to be covered with black ink.For example, if you got a tattoo that was all yellow and blue, you'd need to have it covered with darker ink. You can't go lighter, or else the old tattoo will show through.
its called a wash you use your black ink put it in your ink cap add few drops of distilled water this is called grey-wash depending on amount of water added ,with less your color will be darker with more it will be lighter .
Let me guess...you have a bottle of black ink and you want to do a red tattoo. The ONLY way you can do a red tattoo is to use red ink. No amount of dilution will make black ink red.
All you need is some toothpaste a lil water and a few household writing pens mix it together to make a thin but thick tattoo ink about 6 pens a cap of toothpaste and a cap of water mix it really good

just buy it. Its too complicated to make.
Yes
yes, for sure.
Black....
Yes. Use distilled water.
No, tattoo ink isn't flammable.
Yes, you can blend dark tattoo ink over light tattoo ink, but never the other way around. This is why when you do a color tattoo, a portrait for example, that will always start with your light pigments, work into your intermediate shades, then to your darkest shades, and you will then add highlighting to the piece where needed to make it pop.
