Help: how do i deal with subpar inks from ink master studio after a fresh tattoo?

so i tried the new inkblend 2000 from ink master studio last night for a full sleeve and i swear my skin felt weird right after

i was told the ink was 100% hypoallergenic but after a few hours the area turns green and the line starts fading in the morning

here are the receipts

  • inkblend 2000 from novademm ink co. (packaged 12g)
  • the tattoo artist used the exact same color for a client two weeks ago and now says the color turned slightly off after soaking
  • the aftercare kit included a pre-moistened pad that has an active ingredient that clashes with the ink

i want a solution so i can keep prepping meals for the week but not risk a bad tattoo outcome

what do you all think? did anyone else use this brand? how do you mitigate the problem? also if you can point to a better supplier, that would be huge

thanks for the feedback rn

ink pooling on thin strokes – what's up

so i've been using a 0.2mm tip nib with sumi and my downstrokes keep looking like they’ve got a blobby spot at the end i've tried adjusting pressure and angle but still get that little pool of ink tbh any tips on getting a clean finish? and does paper choice really matter that much here feel like my grip's off but not sure
