Is there a site or a way to find the ingredients for all colours of the popular inks such as Kuro Sumi, Eternal, Mom's, Fusion, StarBrite, Intenze, Radiant etc.
I have black and grey tattoos and a metal allergy and am looking for colours i can use that will not react in my skin like the Eternal white ink does.
Even personal experience from people who have ink allergies and have found a few brand combinations that work for them would be awesome.

Material Safety Data Sheet for Intenze products
You can find the msds and ctl for all intenze products directly on their website or the product page itself.

Most common reactions end up being from heavy metals such as copper, cadmium, (reds/yellows) or cobalt (blue) but everyone is different and ingrediants vary quite a lot. (If this helps, some heavy metals you may find in certain pigments are:

mercury (red); cadmium(red, orange, yellow); iron (brown, red, black)

nickel (black);

cobalt (blue); copper (blue, green);
chromium (green); aluminium (green, violet);

lead (yellow, green, white); zinc (yellow, white); titanium (white); barium (white).

Metal oxides such as ferrocyanide and ferricyanide (yellow, red, green, blue)


The manufactures themselves may be the best ones to breakdown pigment recepies for you to identify potential problem inks. (Ingredients lists will give you Id numbers for their compounds, which are incredibly varied, but knowing which metals or dyes create which types of colors is more understandable from a quick reference point. If you find a brand you like, identifying these problem id's could help eliminate potential reactions. )

If its only metal allergies you have, and no organic compound allergies, perhaps you would take an Azo dye pigment better. (Orange, brown, yellow, green, violet, napha-derived red) But do your research. Some azo dyes breakdown badly and the Amines released are carcinogenic.
