I know better than to use cheap/affordable ink on a person but what about practice ink? What Is the most affordable ink you would use on practice skin?

Now others may have different opinions , with that said i myself liked using fusion ink. I’ve use it since the first time I picked up a machine to present. The person whom I Apprenticed under had me using fusion from day one so I stuck with with it. The logic was that I got used to practicing with the same link as I was going to do actual tattoos with so that way I knew how to use it.

To be honest mate,use your out of date inks on fake/pig skin.no point buying more inks to practice with.waste of money.or if you ain’t got any inks ask on here if anybody would sell you their out of date inks

I've got some cheap inks from the first kit I've bought. It's a disaster to be honest, different thickness and consistency, not mixing well. I would stick to the "human grade" ones. They're not crazy expensive anyway, and can last for very long. I've finished two small bottles of dynamic in last 4 months practicing on fake skin every day, mostly black work and wash. I definitely used more money on needles in that time.

Local supplier in the UK is selling near expired inks (I think around 6 months remaining) at about 1/3 normal price.

Maybe you contact Somme local suppliers in your area and ask about stock that is past or close to expiry date.
