"This is Brandon Pearce with Foolish Pride Tattoo Company in St. Petersburg, Florida. I want to talk to you a little bit about how to make black tattooing. For the most part you don't. You don't mix your own inks. You don't use household products because it is dangerous. You go to an actual tattoo retailer. They will sell inks that are premade by different companies. There are tons of different companies out there that are making tattoo inks now that are completely safe but they also won't sell to anyone that is not tattooing out of a shop. They will only sell to tattoo shops. So don't tattoo out of your house. Don't go to someone who is tattooing out of their house because if they are making their own inks there is a chance of plastics and other dangerous chemicals within the inks. Using the actual organic inks that we use is entirely safe so again when you are getting tattooed go to a licensed professional and when you are tattooing make sure you are going to a licensed retailer such as Lucky Tattoo Supply or King Pin Tattoo Supply. Any of those companies will actually take care of you, tattoo out of the shop and make sure everything is safe. Again this is Brandon Pearce from Foolish Pride Tattoo Company in St. Petersburg, Florida."
