Now, I dont know, how longs its been since you made this, but its faded really bad. What kind of ink did you use for this?

I used kokkai sumi ink. Yeah the inside of the 80 is faded. But what ink would you prefer for shading?

How long since you made it?
Hmm what I use? Thin my own washes, out of Kuro Sumi, with witch hazel. But never more then 50% then the original.

I actually did this not to long ago. About a week. I just didn’t darken the inside enough. Or maybe he was using to much ointment or out in the sun to make it fade like that.
I bought the light, medium, dark kokkai sumi ink. But I also use kuro sumi ink for outlining. Works wonders. -

A week old???? My god, it looks like its 2 years old :o
Were did you buy that ink?
Honestly, I think you’ve been hagged.A tattoo just a week old, or even 6 weeks old, shouldnt faded like this.
Only reason I can think of is;
Fake ink or your friend there, took way to many swims in chlorine swimming pools. And I mean, he placed himself in a pool, and stayed there 6 hours a day. -

Maybe your right. Ima have to invest in some witch hazel. I figured there was something sketchy about that ink. Got it from eBay. Learn from my mistakes.
You wouldn’t happen to know a couple legit sites I could get some tattoo stuff from?
I know of some like superiortattoo and worldwidetattoo but they are usually limited on supplies.I’m also using a hildbrant .444 marlin for my shading. Seems to be good so far, just not with the ink. But I will look into the witch hazel and see if that works better for me. Thanks for the input though. :)

Witch Hazel, is a good investment.
E-bay…. Well, stay of sites like that ;)
Hmm if I know any? Well every supplier in my country is legit, but I wouldnt recommend them for people out of my country. Guess, this is were other members forum will come in and inlighten you.And why I wouldnt recommen my ones? I dont think you should spend 130% extra paying Danish tax and told and delievery and moms and so on and so forth. ;)

Kokkai Sumi is actually a fake brand of Kuro Sumi
i recommend trying that
my biggest irk with this tattoo is how far your drop shadow is. instead of adding dimension it just makes the design hard to read D: -

That too, I focused on the 80 thing. :oops:
And I did not know it was a knockoff… Never tried it, but heard of it. But now, I will never try it… :)
