I dont have money to buy ink and i am wondering what I can use that will stay in me permanently. I have used india ink for a prvious homemade tat and i did not get poisoned. Oh yeah.don't forget to shake it occasionally to help it dissolve, and before you use it.Related FAQ: : Tattoo FAQ 9/9-Bibliography I have made several of those also, 1/2 pad, 1 pad, and 2 pads stuffed into a 1 quart bottle of vinegar and left to rust away ( usually takes 2 - 4 weeks to dissolve ) Makes a nice brown stain, and great for simulating real rust. And TJ is correct, only use true Ink.Īlso, don't forget the tried and true method of using white vinegar with steel wool stuffed into the bottle. I have used brown, red, black, yellow, and orange. I am going to have to try blue as Rick suggested. Alcohol is relatively cheap, so I just mix it in the bottle itself, using an eye dropper for better control of strength ( with the amount used marked on the side ). When in doubt, start with a lighter mix and you can always kick it up adding a stronger wash. One is really heavy on the India Ink, and is sometimes way to strong. I have my standard black wash in at least 3 different strengths. It's a cheap, easy, and highly effective technique so give it a try.Īs Rick and Lance above have pointed out.make up several different mixes. This application and wiping produces a nice effect on it's own. Just keep straight alcohol and a rag and/or q-tips handy and wipe vertically downward if you got an odd look. Ink and alcohol runs differently from paint so you do have to babysit it a bit until it dries to make sure you don't get odd pooling or mottling. Alcohol strength doesn't seem to matter so I go with 70%. I use Higgins brand ink that I bought at Michaels. On occasion I may go slightly lighter or darker. As mentioned I have a bottle of 1 tsp/pint of alcohol that I use for lighter surfaces and another bottle of 2 tsp/pint for darker surfaces. It's a good idea to have a few different strengths on hand. I originally picked it up from a George Sellios video. There is probably no singular technique that contributes more to the realism of roads and structures than the wash so it is certainly worth putting into your weathering arsenal.
