Healing issue with Rapier 2

[tugg]

I know of atleast 4 tattoo studios including myself that have had this problem. with one common denominator being the branded greywash used.
this taken from another thread.Lammy wrote,
fusion is a great company. i stopped using thier greywash because i recieved a bad batch which gave more than a few of my clients little red bumps all over the areas where the greywash was used which developed AFTER the tattoo healed. this all happened late last year and the clients STILL have the bumps. doctors can't figure it out and a topical steriod cream is'nt working. at first i thought it was something i was doing wrong, but after a few weeks of trying different things, i figured out that the wash was the issue

Did you notify Fusion about this reaction



yes i did back when it first happened. spoke with adam directly over the phone as per his request. he was being cool about it, asked what lot # it was and admitted a bad batch. told me to throw the ink away and he was sending me a new set. i got the new set, but quarrantined the old set. i'm holding onto it in case i have to get it lab tested to help my clients out and to keep from being sued myself. i wrote adam a couple of weeks ago to let him know my clients still have the bumps and doctors can't figure it out. i was basically just looking for some suggestions as to how to help my clients. he responded defensively and basically put it on me saying he does'nt know how my inks are stored or handled. after 9 years of tattooing, i'm pretty sure i know how to handle and store my ink...... that conversation put a bad taste in my mouth.

I've just had a good look at the picture and all of the above are valid points and not to be ignored by any means but looking at it my thoughts are a shaving rash that's got sore which has then been picked and scratched then got infected but like most people it was not me i have not done anything wrong. The sore isn't on the tattoo but at the side just a thought

The rash in the photo looks fungal to me, but I'm not a Dermatologist. The worst non-infection type reaction I've seen was with a tattoo that had been done and the tube had remnants of Rapidex in it, it literally ulcerated. How do I know about the Rapidex? The dumb twat that did it admitted it.

Fungal it probably is. Modern medicine is so wrapped up in bacterial and viral pathology and does not have a lot of understanding of the estimated 100,000 varieties of fungus out there. It sounds extreme but the only way to remove some fungal pathogens is to starve them by way of a rigid 40day dietary detox. I don't thump bibles but there are some stories that are based off of real knowledge, one of those being Lent. It was traditionally a time of bodily detox where you were required to eat nothing except dark leafy veggies and/or mana(superfoods like spiralina). No dairy, breads, nuts or sugars at all. The 40 days is regarded by modern science to be about the time it takes to turnover and rebuild all cells in the body....

I got a bad batch of grey wash last year. I noticed something smelled like rotten eggs. Luckily I realized it was the ink before I put it in my client. I contacted the company and they sent a replacement right away. First thing I did when I got the replacement was smell it. Rotten eggs again. They sent out another replacement, and finally, no smell. I always smell my ink before I use it now. Probably looks weird but oh well.

Good advice. A bad ink won't always smell but a good ink never smells rotten.

hmm, thats funny. the bottle of extra light in my wash set smelt like rotten eggs. i had these problems till i switched brands.
