! ! ! BRILLIANT ! ! ! Great video Jono. This is a very important piece of information that EVERYONE should take notice of. DO NOT RISK THE LONG TERM HEALTH AND LIFE OF YOUR CLIENTS. These rogue sellers do not care, they only want sales - they are akin to drug dealers. Genuine inks are only sold by genuine authorised distributors. You all have a moral and legal responsibility to your client, don't cut corners.

Some websites might also lay out all their specific designs in their inks so you can check what you buy. Dynamic ink has this on their site where it goes through step by step their bottle designs.

[@LucidFrameProduction]

Kuro Sumi also has warnings about fake ink on their site, describes their product and gives a complete list of their approved vendors. It sucks that there are grifters out there who care more about money than human life and health!

[@LazurayMusic]

This video was super helpful. I made the mistake of buying a few primary "colours" off Ebay for the sake of practise with no intention of putting them into real skin...but it seems that they are rubbish full stop. This solidifies one of the main things I've learned as a self taught artist so far - NEVER skimp on price when purchasing tattoo products...

😊h my great video! I bought a cloned ink off of eBay. Great take home message too!!! By mistake I purchased a clone of mom’s millenium tattoo ink. The cost was roughly $20. The ink was very thin compared to the usual tattoo ink I use. I spilled some on the floor and usually soap or cleaner will take it off but for some reason this stuff really stuck. Well long story short, I ended up with cellulitis and in the hospital overnight after blacking out half of my leg. About 90% of the ink did not stay. The doctor had told me that from what he saw in his years of medicine that it was indicative of a foreign substance. The buyer refunded me instantly so he knew he was selling fake ink.

[@agentannie4976]

Jono, do you know why permanent makeup pigment is so much more expensive than tattoo ink, even though it's less pigmented and doesn't last as long? Most permanent makeup artists say body ink won't heal nicely on the face, but I've spoken with a few PMU artists who use body ink and say that it's easier to implant, heals true to color, and fades well (instead of to weird red or blue shades). BTW, from what I understand, PMU is implanted into the epidermal/dermal junction as well, just like body ink. Thank you!

[@JonoSmithTattoo]

I’ll be honest I’ve no idea why it’s so much more expensive other than it being a lot more niche than regular tattooing therefore they have to hike the price to make similar profits because they don’t have the same sales volumes. I have noticed this though and it even applies to the SPMU machines, needles etc. Everything is so much more expensive than regular tattooing. Thanks for watching!

I don't even know why anyone would try to back up the Chinese manufactured inks! I've bought ink from Amazon or eBay before, but I knew the sellers were reputable tattoo equipment sellers. Just gotta do a little research.

[@choijisu1464]

So ive been tattooed with a fake intenze ink. My experience was extreme pus oozing in the first day. Discoloration in the second day, and in my third day my tattoo cracked my skin. Im treating it eith drapolene cream and the swelling stopped and my tattoo dried up (which is a sign of healing). Good thing I noticed it right at the first day and never hesitated to buy ointment to minimize infection. Do you think it is okay to touch-up my tattoo after it fully healed or fully cover it up with a new tattoo?

[@JonoSmithTattoo]

Sorry to hear about this. When it’s fully healed you should be good to just go over it with genuine ink to get a good result.

[@toadfathersebastianpeterse2833]

One thing I’ve noticed after watching this is that my Eternal bottles are very 50/50 on if they have the brand logo engraved onto the plastic or not. They are from different batches and they all come from my regular supplier. The price would indicate real deal (roughly 18-19 euros per bottle) and other than the lack on engraving they don’t fail the other fake tests. So my question is if you know if Eternal also uses engrave-less bottles?

[@sunstar7406]

Hello, I was also concerned as to the lack of the Eternal embossing on my bottle. After watching the video of RAYTAN justINKED on KZbin, about Eternal fake vs real, I became concerned about the fact that the cap of my bottle is rounded like he showed the fake one has, meanwhile real ones are flat. I also have mine from a reputable seller in my country. Can you please tell me whether yours is rounded or flat? (I think you will need to watch his video to tell which part of the cap im talking about, he mentions it in timestamp 6:22 video title Eternal Ink real vs fake) Thank you!

[@toadfathersebastianpeterse2833]

@@sunstar7406 So it’s really weird. In some aspects some of my bottles look suspicious like what you said and based on what I wrote before. But then again there are other things that suggest they are real. They are expensive and bought from a reputable seller. They are smooth in texture and color, and do pass the qtip test. They don’t have that sticky texture when opening the bottles and no crusty edges. They also have all the correct information on the label from what I can tell. I guess I’m just gonna have to assume that the real bottles can look a little fake. Maybe I’m just getting paranoid from looking at the video.

@@BABAYAGA_Ovd I remember an episode of Ink Masters where one of the artists was color blind. I think he couldn't see green or something. He did good tattoos, but yeah- that's a handicap that would scare me if I were the client. That artist lasted the first episode and was gone after that...if I'm remembering correctly.

[@strpimpin]

Jono, thank you so much for this video. Ive been tattooing for quite some time now and ive never even heard of cloned in but ofcouse knew the differance from major brands and the cheap shit that comes usualy with cheap machine kits and such that i never dare use not even in a bind cuz i wont even have that shit in my shop. Ive never heard of cloned ink and have gotn ink sets before from ebay and have come across problems with inconsistant color. Now i know why and am going over my inventory soon as i end this comment. Thanks again for kickin the knowlage. Your the best dude.

Yeah to be honest mate I’d probably steer clear of eBay for inks and stick with the main suppliers just to be safe. Thanks for the comment I really appreciate it!

[@theresaj8356]

Just a note.. I ordered direct from Intenze. Their 1oz bottles do not have the name embossed on the bottles, and do have to be opened to pick the seal and 2nd cardboard insert 😡 The black and white 2oz bottles I ordered do have these features you mention with the name embossed and the screw open seal. Highly annoyed as this is 1 reason I went with Intenze, but ordered 1oz combo kit to be economical as I get back into tattooing after 10 years. Great work on the videos, thank you!

[@JonoSmithTattoo]

That’s interesting. I winder why they’ve done this? I wonder if it’s a batch before the bottles turned into the newer ones. I’m I’ll check this out. Thanks for watching!

[@SarahLynnHenry]

I actually walked by a Piercing Pagoda in Arundel Mills Mall in Arundel Mills MD and these Fake inks were displayed for sale. I was staring for a while at the Ink wondering why a Piercing Pagoda would even sell Ink and then I couldn't help but wonder why the bottles looked so different then mine. I knew they were counterfeit they are identical to the fake one in this video. How sad.

[@LucidFrameProduction]

I got a bottle of Intenze Zuper Black and it looks like the real thing, but as soon as I opened the bottle, it smelled like a musty book. When the ink dries, it looks like flakes of Hematite...very metallic. The bottle looks just like your bottle of real Intenze here. Even the price was appropriate for real ink. I never used it in human skin because it was musty smelling & dried weird. I only use that ink in practice skin. Next time, I will make absolutely certain that I'm buying from an approved distributor. I got the ink a few months before seeing your video.

Thank you, great video, I am only learning, not even tattooed fake skin yet, no rush to do so, but I have bought a couple coil machines, and a pen machine, and 1 came with MOMS ink, which appears genuine, person bought it seperate, and gave up trying to learn. I only plan to use MOMS on fake skin to practice with, read enough bad to not want to use on people. my issue is just understanding inks more, I see probably 2 dozen name brands, some are 30 year old companies, but some I think pour more money into advertising, so have become more popular, I will know more in a few months, only been studying 3 months, but you mention buying from a reputable company, well 1 big name has been sending clients OUT OF DATE INK! somehow I became moderator for 1 of the Facebook tattoo groups, and seen Painful Pleasure name pop up several times for selling out of date ink. & I see Dynamic advertised ads shoved in my face everywhere, BUT go to their page to order, and I want to know why they have ink kits 19 years old there? no mention of expiration dates? just manufactured dates? 1/3 cost of fresh kits, but to me if they cant afford to take loss and dispose of old ink, then they are unscrupulous! so I know I dont want to use them, so its hard enough finding and learning each company, not counting all the B.S. shipped from overseas "fake inks" when I am ready to do human skin, I will order from manufacture directly, not a re-seller, and it will be someone that has impressed me. which I have 3 on radar at moment, but still need to learn about several others before I make decision

[@kenriheljr2771]

So? If my ink bottle has a QR code that takes me to a manufacturer sds sheet, can I trust that is authentic? I am referring to a bottle of dynamic black that I bought on Amazon. Not really a big deal, I only bought it to practice on fake skin and pig skin. But it would be nice to know.

[@JonoSmithTattoo]

Most of the clones use the same labels as the originals so a qr code that’s cloned will take you to the genuine site anyway. I know Dynamic actually changed their bottles not long ago into shiny black ones to combat clones. If you’re in doubt message Dynamic direct with the Amazon sellers details and they’ll be able to tell you if they’re legit.

I looked up fake dynamic first an realized the bottle of black I was already using before ordering was either old label as videos stated dynamic changed the look. Or my old one was in fact fake. I threw it away an am using only what I know is the real deal. I'm glad amazon had the real stuff.

@@justinshimmel9625 Yes the new style Dynamic bottle is kinda shiny black now,

Cant say I've ever bought ink on wish ever lol great video though it's good to see the differences, I think it was Aaron Caine possibly who's machines got cloned by a company in China years ago and it was major piss off to a lot of people so it just goes to show this kind of thing has been going on in all aspects of tattoo equipment of all sorts.

[@JonoSmithTattoo]

You’re absolutely right and yes it goes much deeper than just ink. Thanks for the great comment!

It's really sad that there are still people who try to deny that the colors on ebay and Amazon are not fake, especially when the price is so extremely low, hey boy's and girls you all can clearly see it as you have already described in your video. There must be the punching from The label in the plastic bottles is simply incomprehensible to me how some users still want to acquire knowledge want to go one floor higher with their skills in art and then look at the money to save if they are buying color and other equipment a tattoo tattooed with quality so he also exclusively uses it high quality equipment.send U all my love from the bottom of my heart iLkay splashtattooberlin Berlin city

very interesting video .... I've been tattooing for years and have always served as official suppliers .... in fact I checked and found in my colors the characteristic of the raised brand, which I had never noticed :) .Never trusted these cheap clones ... surely there are those who use and then maybe the damage on the skin suffers those who get tattooed by these incompetent people damage that will bring to life and if it goes well will solve them with a good dermatologist (perhaps)

Not made in the Philippines. Coz if we want to buy the same thing it will be coming from "Mainland China". And we have our local made quality ink. We dont have the tech to mass produce such low quality inks and sell it cheaper. It just happens that filipino people is so into dropshipping business that filipino entrepreneur sell those kind of inks directly from china to end users

Great video..this exactly why I buy from a reputable place ..I use radiant tho .

I think I may have exposed a counterfeit product seller on Amazon. Two bottles of Mom's are lost in the mail and I am up for a refund. I paid 7.99 each and figured it to be the going price for half an ounce. Made in the USA, Mom's should not be shipped DHL GLOBAL. I had to order yellow from VIKING, and I will fight for the side of right when it comes to American made inks. Following your video and thanks a lot. I'm new and wouldn't know about this if not for the heads up. I'm going to purchase future inks from the manufacturer site or a bonefide retailer.

[@JonoSmithTattoo]

That’s a really responsible thing to do. Glad the video helped you out!

Thank you, this was very helpful.

I Think a Pro Tattoo Artist had a serius Dealer,but a unknown guy will buy this Fake ink.And he knows at 100% that is a Clone Produkt ...its creepy but the do it

[@gotmihandstuck]

hya Jono, thanks for the video, you made mention to not buying these cloned (FAKE) inks, I have just started to take up tattooing, and yes I'm always on the lookout for a deal, like everyone else, but if your putting people's health at risk is not good. Maybe we should hound these people by asking them ' if the goods they are selling is the real thing. cos they look fake'.. they might just take the hint and go sell toilet rolls instead.

[@JonoSmithTattoo]

I don’t think these sellers have morals tbf. Thanks for watching!

[@artslr479]

So can someone pls give me a link of a supplier I can get good genuine tattoo supplies thanks !

[@nnxl9913]

The inks you talk about really come from China, so they are so expensive. Love your video.

[@monikag.80]

Wow, I can’t believe people are actually buying it. It’s adding to the problem. The ink is not even good for practice skin.
