As some of you know i will be getting my lotus coloured next week , and you will recall i had a reaction to this artist particular brand of orange ink ....I had always planned on the lotus being red,orange to yellow/gold tips , but now dont want to risk another reaction , even if he uses a different shade of his brand of orange i am still concerned i may have the same problem ....any way i have put orange completely out of the question for now........

So my question is what colours would you recommend or use ??
I have been thinking purples /reds /white . it is right beside my bright koi .so i dont want it as bright or to clash with it .
I am sure me and the artist will come up with some ideas but i would like to get some opinions as i am stuck with this one .
cheers for any input .

Cheers John and Rowdy
I have checked the net for real ones and they come in lots of colours .
I think white and pink will be to dull for the rest of the tat .
maybe deep red to pink to white ?
