EXCESSIVE BLEEDING

There could be many reasons for this to happen. Dull, bare, or bent needles, excessive speed, or going too deep are just a few. Another reason could be thin blood, which results from drinking, drug use, or even some medications. Always check with the customer to see if they are taking any medications. If they are taking medication for any blood disorders, it could cause their skin to reject the ink. Any person taking medication for a blood disorder should not be tattooed. You should never tattoo a person who is intoxicated or under the influence of drugs because this can cause thinning of the blood, which in turn will lead to excessive bleeding. You should have some ammonium just in case you come across a bleeder. Ammonium alum is an astringent to aid in controlling the bleeding.
