daedrarose89 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Hello, I'm new to this forum and am looking for advice. Is it rude to ask an artist to use different inks? The heavy metals in many of them will cause a lot of problems with me so I found some that are made without it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el twe Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Just tell your artist about your reaction/allergy/whatever to certain inks and ask if s/he could use other pigments instead. No one likes being told how to do their job, but this sounds like a legitimate request and one that I hope would garner some empathy. Keep in mind that not all inks/pigments are created equal, and your artist may have a strong preference for something other than what you suggest.

daedrarose89 Posted November 30, 2017 Author Share Posted November 30, 2017 Okay thanks. I think I'll just let them know what the potential issue is and see what he says. I for sure don't want to undermine his expertise at all or come off like I'm telling him how to do his job. I'm not partial to a particular brand or anything. el twe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oboogie Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Some artists will say they use what they use, but you may find someone who uses the kind of ink you want. Welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
