    Tattoo ink from Amazon? Gross. Never buy anything from Amazon that goes on or in your body.

      What’s frightening is you’re not in control of where a tattoo artist sources their ink. You can ask, but you won’t really know. I’ve been eager to get additional tattoos but this freaks me out.

      OK but… do you buy your own tattoo ink? Do you know that your tattoo artist didn’t get theirs from Amazon?

        If they’ve already been buying trusted brands on Amazon, I could see them also trying something new…
