I am planning on getting my first tattoo soon. Do they test you first to see if you are allergic to the dye....and how and where do they do that? I have so many allergies...I can just see it getting done and having a terrible reaction then having to get the appendage removed. :lol:

There is no test to see if you are allergic to ink...from what I know, allergy to tattoo ink is very very rare. Some people report having allergic reactions to red ink, however, that reaction is usually nothing more than a little extra itching. I got my first tiki tattoo at the Ink N Iron festival...it turned out awesome, but I lost the charger to my camera! As soon as I get a new one I'll post it!
