What a kitchen tattoo is made of, and why professionals object

What it is

Ballpoint ink, India ink or whatever is to hand — the modern improvised pigment.

The long version

It is not made to go into skin and it is the part of improvised tattooing that professionals raise first. Professional hand-poke uses tattoo ink and single-use needles; the method is the same, the supply chain is not.
