No, I have never heard of any side effects attributed to using witch hazel when mixed with inks. This is primarily used when doing black and gray tattoos, and the witch hazel is used to cut the wash or the black that you are doing the tattoo with. It reduces the redness in the skin, which is important when you are doing black and gray tattoos because it allows you to see more clearly the amount of ink that you have built up in the skin more effectively. The other liquid that you can use to cut with is distilled water, which works just fine, but more people like to use the witch hazel for the above given reason. If you are using colored ink, and it seems to be a bit too thick, you can also use witch hazel or distilled water to help thin it out a bit.

How do you thin tattoo ink?

For the most part, when you are wanting to dilute the ink you will use small amounts of Witch Hazel to water it down. You can also use distilled water. In the event of you doing soft gray shading, you will want to use the witch hazel to dilute the black. The witch hazel will reduce the redness of the tattooing while you are doing it, and will allow you to see more clearly the black that you are building up in the skin.
