Question apparently with my new tattoo i got i found out that i like alot of poeple am allergic to red. is there a hypoallergenic red ink out there and if so where i need to buy some since my body rejected allmost all of the red ink...and just red not the green white yellow or turquise or black anyways thanks for your help all of u
Answer Dave-
There is no hypoallergenic red ink that I know of. What I've found is that often using a different red, sometimes from a different brand may not cause a red reaction. Sometimes a different red from the same brand can be ok as well.
I'd recommend you talk to your artist and get her/his advice. Perhaps after it has been healed for a bit, you can try a new red.
