Freedom-2 Ink is high-tech easily removable ink made of micro packets of fine pigment particles enclosed in some sort of plastic skin. Blah...blah...blah...Doesn't sound too cool to me. More plastic. More technology. Somewhere on their page it says that the inks may be more stable that conventional Inks-less prone to fading, etc...yet there is very little elaboration on that point. Besides 'packets' of several pigment particles doesn't sound like it would go in well. If any of the tattoo pictures on the page are done with this ink, then that would seen to prove the case. With the exception of the historic photo on the brief 'history of...' page, the tattoos pictured are super-bland.
So my question is...Have any of you brave souls actually tried the stuff?
The question is posted more to satisfy a morbid curiosity...BUT I can imagine that if they do enter and stay well...maybe plastic encapsulated red pigments might be an idea worth trying out? Possibly the coatings would protect the body from allergic reaction.
A pass of the laser breaks the plastic capsule and the pigment is reabsorbed by the body...so probably they are talking about dyes and not solid pigments, and I can't imagine that dyes would stand up to UV light. The ink Obviously I'm a bit ambivalent with my question, but curious.

I mangled that last sentence there. I meant to say The Ink would probably fade unless the plastic coating contained some sort of UV filter. Yikes.
All I saw were some shitty tribals on that site. Doesn't speak too much for the product.
yeah, but I think they are in the cosmetic branch, meaning that they may have dumped a handfull of pictures of crap work onto the page to pump it up a bit without knowing just how crappy the tattoos were. I have had to cover some of those evil things that come out of cosmetic tattooing shops. Always tiny little tribal with a rose over them, or a thumb sized dolphin that looks like a garden slug diving into a blurry squiggle...done in fade-away inks that never really fade away. If those tattoos are any measure or their seriousness towards inks, then forget it. But there are some cosmetic tattooists who do an amazing job covering serious scars and skin discolorations who may also be serious about developing good inks, but may know nothing at all about creative tattooing.
But you are right. The pictures on that page are sad.
I imagine the time will come when some kid comes in asking for "Endurance" in Kanji the apprentice will reach for the bottle of laserable inks and practice. I doubt and serious tattoo artist would find it a better pigment than the inks they are using now which are designed to be stronger and longer lasting.
Thanks. I was not supporting laserable inks or their removable quality. It was just a question about the remote possibility that coated red pigments, if they went in well and had good staying power, might some day be a help to those who have an allergic reaction to them.
I'm sure some apprentices already use so-called temporary inks with the brilliant idea that the tattoo will disappear in time.
FREDOM 2 INKS ARE TRYING TO GET FDA APPROVAL FOR THERE PRODUCTS...........AND ARE TRYING TO PROVE THE CURRENT PIGMENTS BEING USED ARE TOXIC.
AVOID EM LIKE THE PLAQUE.
I think I will wait till they come up with a more natural ingredient to make the red ink.I do not think putting plastic in my body sounds good at all. I do not care for those so -called inadvisable inks seen to may people needing to get real tattoos after there left with a mess on there body.
they usually come in the parlor ask if we can remove it or cover it with white/ or a skin color. i laugh every time.can not wait for that fad to end. i say just go get a henna drawing / tat.
well no plastic for me not even implants. lol lol
