StaGlo is an acrylic-based ink that will not leave a "bright" bold" tattoo. Also, about 25% of the people you'd tattoo would have an allergic reaction to it.
Most ink is metalic based, and you still get 2% with an allergic reaction to that.
Do a "test patch" on your leg. If you have no reaction to it, then it would be okay for practice ink.
In-General, the people I have spoke with who have had shops for more than 5 years, have all pretty much said the same thing: Intenze is best for colors (especially white); starbright is really good for yellow or red, K-Sumi is the "only" choice for black, Mom's (Millenium) is okay for colors, especially blue.
There is also a new ink that has come out that is made by one of the guys that originally started intenze inks, but he sold his share, and now is starting a new company. Forgot the name of the ink, although I have 7 bottles coming to me @ $5 an ounce.
Remember this: You always get what you pay for! If it is cheap, 99.99999% of the time, it is a cheap working ink. I buy cheap inks for practice. For instance, the dragon/tiger tattoo on my arm (see my sig) is done with starbright tribal black. It is a little cheaper than KS but still a decent brand, and it allows me to save a little while I practice on myself, while still keeping the tattoo looking good.

| Give Dynamic a try you wont be disapointed. Dynamics black will give the Kuro a run for its money and the colours heal nice and bright. |
