I am wanting to go for my first ever tattoo...plucking up courage as not to good with pain but I know exactly what I want and where I want it.
The thing is I have a severe allergy to hair dye, if just a few drops touch my skin, it blisters and I swell up.
The tattoo won't be colour just black and grey, but what I wanted to know is if there are links between tattoo ink and hair dye. I looked up ingredients on google and I can't see the things I'm allergic to but I just wanted to check if anyone has experience of this.
I'm thinking of asking them if they can put a few drops on my skin and see what happens (usually any allergy appears within a few hours) but as ink goes under will that make any difference.
TIA

Thanks all for your advice.Went to see them yesterday and I'm going next saturday!!! It's a personal reason why I'm getting it. It's not just for the sake of having one and I've thought long and hard about it.
Just not sure about the pain threshold....
Yes Doosh, look good at that age, but try turning the clock forward to 60/70s. As we say in Scotland Filbert - dinnae dae it!!
Don't forget that they go blurry after a few years so don't have an 'I love Clint' tattoo unless you are a 'trans'
Hair tint has a peroxide mix that tattoos dont need. Ask the tattooist to test his product on your skin before application.
I think that I would be more inclined to consult a dermatologist,who will be qualified,rather than take the word of some unqualified tattooist .
Glad you consulted them , good luck.
