Azo Pigment Free Ink from Germany

[Skorprick]

Hi,
first of, I'm a bloddy n00b so I haven't done much work with ink ... only some chinese stuff and blacks from Scream ink and Immortal ink on practiceskin
(piggy will arive next week). I'm selfteaching so there is no big "maitre" that gives me any advice ...

I'm got a bit confused after reading some feeds and product-callbacks of Intenze ink and some stuff I heard from Eternal and Fusion .....

now I have some tattoos done by others and I know that they have been using Kuro Sumi, Eternal and Dynamic on me and I don't have any problems or iritations from that ink but ....

I found a couple of inks that are produced in germany and say that they are non-toxic, azo-pigment free and non cancerogenic than other inks.

I'm talking about :
- http://hautcutuer.com/ price ~10€ for 15ml produced by the H-A-N company in Esslingen (a guy called Michael Dirks)
- http://www.tattoobullets.com/ price ~13€ for 35ml produced by the same company (H-A-N) but with the "we only sale to proffesionals"-attitude

- diabolo genesis (10ml ~ 8.50€ )and sailor jerry (10ml ~6€) ink from a company called "Deep Colors" in germany (Neuburg am Rhein) (http://www.tat2.de/index.php?cat=c427_10-ml-bottles.html)

the third comes from italy but is called to be very good
- http://www.atomictattooink.com/ price ~15€ for 30ml


CONFUSED EVEN MORE .....

has anyone any experiences with those colors??

greetings from belgium, Sascha

o.k., after a bit of research I found an Eco-Test of some inks (black and color) and => god am I disappointed
It seems that Hautcutür and Bullets ink both have higher carcinogenic stuff

they are however mostly better than Eternal or Intenze

Alla Prima and Diabolo Genesis seem to be even better ...

haven't found anything on Atomic ink buuuuuuuttttttt I have found another ink called hot-needles and this one reads good (vegan, Preservative Free, AZO safe, Tested for Heavy metals, PAH free, ......):
Farbinfos

BUTTT again Intenze reads good too, so I'm really disappointed and confused which ink to use (I don't want cheap, I want good) ....

(now the funny part =>
ink is tested for heavy metals,
question: can I use it if I listen to industrial/ebm/noise or electronica??)

If you are looking for Vegan inks check out Fusion ink. I dont have any experience with any of the ones you mentioned however I do have experience with Talens, Fusion, Waverly, and Starbrite. These are all good inks. Here is a link for some other inks you may be interested in -->Vegan Tattoo Education: Vegan Tattoo Inks
