No. Black ink has to be covered with black ink.For example, if you got a tattoo that was all yellow and blue, you'd need to have it covered with darker ink. You can't go lighter, or else the old tattoo will show through.
If it doesn't go deep enough into the skin then the skin could reject the ink or get infected.
only if you use blood red
MOM'S Ink, Skin Candy, Intenze, and Kuri Sumi. These are the only tattoo inks I trust and are most popular. Use the wrong tattoo ink and you'll get a crappy faded tattoo.

No, tattoo ink does not typically contain iodine. Tattoo ink is made up of pigments and carriers that are specifically designed for use in the skin. Iodine is not a common ingredient in tattoo ink.
yes!
No, no, no. If you want a tattoo go to someone who does it.
I know multiple people with tattoos and no. I do not think they puss ink. You should probably go to the tattoo artist and question him, or go to the doctor.
No, tattoo ink isn't flammable.

Yes, you can blend dark tattoo ink over light tattoo ink, but never the other way around. This is why when you do a color tattoo, a portrait for example, that will always start with your light pigments, work into your intermediate shades, then to your darkest shades, and you will then add highlighting to the piece where needed to make it pop.
You should not use Indian ink or sepia ink or any other form of drawing ink for a tattoo. Tattoo pigments are made to be used for just that, tattooing. Any reputable tattooist will use QUALITY ink for a tattoo. If you're tattooing at home, take apart your machines, put them in a plastic Ziploc bag and go get an apprenticeship and stop spreading disease.

No.
Make sure the shop you go to has a license, is clean and that they ONLY use disposable needles. If you don't see them pulling out a new, sterile needle each time they start a tattoo, then don't get a tattoo from them. - - - - - You're not likely to get a bloodborne disease from a tattoo needle. If you're going to get one from a tattoo shop, it will come from the ink. Tattoo artists don't like to use old needles, and needles aren't expensive--so, unless you go to someone who tattoos out of his house, you'll get new needles when you get a tattoo. The ink is a different story. It is expensive, and they can't use all of it when they give someone a tattoo. You put ink in a tattoo machine by dipping the tip in the ink and stepping on the footpedal, which causes the needle to pull ink into the reservoir. If you're refilling the machine during a tattoo, there's blood in the machine, which winds up in the ink. Some guys are tempted to put the unused ink back in the bottle. So...if you really want to see how good a shop you're dealing with, go watch them do a tattoo--they'll let you. If they finish the tattoo and immediately throw all the ink caps and excess ink into a biohazard bag, it's a safe shop. If they set the ink caps to the side for later, don't go there.
