What is red reaction?
Red reaction is the allergic reaction to red pigment in inks. It tends to happen most to people who are allergic to shellfish or Iodine. It doesn’t matter what brand if a person reacts to one red then it is most likely to happen in other brands of inks. In lesser extent people have a reaction to yellow but that is rare. What it looks like is the red ink gets puffy and swollen and tends to be sore. It happens only to the red ink leaving the rest of the tattoo alone and in tact. I haven’t had or ever heard of anyone getting severely ill from a red reaction. Their isn’t even a fever associated with it just a swelling and usually a sever loss of ink and the red usually having to be replaced with another color. If you know of being allergic to red or Iodine you might see what it would cost to have a sample section of red done to see if you react to it.
