The fake product is not from the Philippines. They are re seller because it's been tested the product and they resell sorry for my grammar because I'm Filipino and I'm proud to be a Filipino
Hi Jono, thanks for the info! It looks like acrylic paint tbh.. Could you do the same comparison with Eternal ink and Intenze if possible? Would love to see the two side by side, colour and consistency. Great content! Greatly appreciated!!
@@JonoSmithTattoo by the way - because there is NO WHERE to buy ink where i live i have to buy off amazon. i had heard of troubles with Intense before - people must think that's an easy one to copy. Anywayyyy - i found someone selling an entire set for (14 colours) for $150 and it was not the Intenze bottle - they also sell that brand and you can see the imbossing on the bottles So i reported it
I Always bought my inks from killerink. Weird thing is that many colors are thick as the clone in this video. Often white from both fusion and intenze usually has the same thick consistence as the fake red in this video and needs to be diluted a bit when tattooing
That was made from china.. distributor from Philippines just distribute it...thats a problem here in Philippines..if the spelling is wrong usually we know it was from china😂😂..phones charger simcards.. shoes 😂
Sooooo i tattooed myself with the ink the comes with my tattoo kit and after watching this i think i got the fake ink. :( I should’ve just waited for my intenze ink :( i think i fucked my skin up. :(( Also, we Filipinos wash our asses if we go doodoo so yeah that was not made in the Philippines for sure! Hahahaha! Just sayin.
I hope your skin heals ok and it doesn’t have a reaction. Yes it’s always best to use the safe tested original brands. As for the Philippine thing, I did seem to get quite a BIG reaction from guys from the Philippines saying there’s absolutely no way that ink was made there and that is was just distributed from there and actually made in China. Just to put the record straight, I have no bad blood with people from the Philippines 🤣 I just received the ink in the post which clearly said ‘Philippines’ on it so most people would assume if it says it’s from there, then it’s probably been made there. This video wasn’t an attack on the Philippines 🤣 One guy even threatened to come and kill me 😩🤣🤣🤣 Jesus! That’s a bit harsh! Thanks for watching! 🇵🇭
Jono Smith woooooah! Thats too much!! 🤣 he better chill. Lol! No reason to be violent lol! But thank you for taking the time to response! I absolutely love your videos and fun to watch with the animation! Subscribed! 👍🏻
My first tattoo starter kit had a red ink in it that ended up swelling in parts like pink warts in the end i was so concerned i took them off below the skin with a grinder. Dont save money on ink buy from a real supplier
I'm a newbie, I was about to buy a whole bunch of fakes, trying to convince myself they're real but luckily I watched this video and was convinced otherwise!
I got Eternal Ink, it works really well on practice skin and on myself (I know but its been 2 or 3 months and 0 bad effects or even itching really, it turned out better then Moms Ink) it says "For Asian Market Only" WTF does that mean, is that a telltale sign or what? I'm broke so fuck it.
That's crazy!! I bought lots of that here in philippines such a waste of money! 😢 can u suggest where I can order original ink in states?? Pls. thanks for the info!!!!
Leogen Lacaba as long as it’s a reputable tattoo supply site you’ll be fine. I’m not very familiar with supply companies in the states. I do know Electrum Tattoo Supplies are legit but there will be hundreds. If you’re in doubt, most ink companies list their trusted suppliers directly from their websites so you can double check before buying. Thanks for watching!
Hi Jono, thanks for getting back to me so quickly! The bottle of ink I have doesn't mention the quantity on the label. Is it fake then? I paid $20 Aussie for it. Thanks again if you can let me know about that too. Keep up the great work! Kind regards, Sam
Samantha Gillespie See if the place where you ordered it is on the official supplier list on the Intenze website. If it’s not it might be fake. If it’s from EBay or Amazon it probably fake.
I was supposed to be following this page after watching this, I was really disappointed, you really think Filipino people gonna harm other people due this ink. Do you really think that Filipino people are really irresponsible due to that ink. Fyi there's many product in Us manufactured by China. And how about that?!
bhebymae litao thanks for your comment, I’ve had several like it so let me be as clear as I possibly can. When I receive a package and the address label states a destination it’s come from, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to assume the product is from that country. Now you could argue maybe someone from the Philippines purchased this product from another country and then sold it on from the Philippines. But when the total cost of the ink and the postage is £1.54 I’m going to assume it’s not been purchased from another country to sell on but instead has more than likely been produced in the country it’s been posted from. Lots of Filipino people messaging like I’ve got some sort of problem with their country. To be clear I have absolutely no problem with Filipino people or any other people. I have a problem with people selling dangerous cloned ink and I also have a problem with people trying to justify the dangerous product and instead of agreeing that this product is highly dangerous to put in human skin, they try to make me sound like some kind of racist. I think it’s very naive to make such a broad statement that this ink doesn’t come from the country that the postage label clearly says it does. Unless you’ve investigated every single back street sweat shop and every household in the whole of the Philippines, how can you say it’s not from there? How can you make such a broad sweeping statement and say ‘do you think Filipino people are really irresponsible?’. Unless you know every single person in the Philippines then I how can you even say that? Of course they’ll be some people living there that are really irresponsible. People of all different types live all over the world, some good and some bad. So just to clarify, yes I do think whoever made this is very irresponsible, yes this package was posted from the Philippines and I’d be saying the same thing about this horrible product no matter where it came from. It could have come from the moon for all I care, it’s completely and utterly irresponsible and dangerous and people like yourself defending this product should have a long hard look in the mirror and have a think about what you’re actually defending. You should be mad at this video but not mad at me for showing the truth but mad at the person in the Philippines posting this garbage on ebay.
@@JonoSmithTattoo Well said, your responsibility and integrity lies with the client, and the aspiring tattoo artist, not the knock-off manufacturers. As it should be.
well for the untrained eye the fake ink would probably make sense coz its not runny so it means it will stay on the same spot on your skin, but then again dont be fooled. Thanks for the heads up man, im an tattoo enthusiast and have been starting tattoos on my skin, im using india ink though coz a friend told me its safe, how true is that?
Thanks for info! Ive always wondered how you can tell if ink is fake or not. Im a tattoo beginner everyone tells me intenze is one best ink I looked on Amazon bad reviews with size total ripped off. Does anyone know a legit website I can order ink thats real and not outrageous expensive???
All your videos are awesome, for real, I just have an honest question, she is saying that Intenze inks never come with a black top at 1:08 and says that they come with a foil under the cap, a fake one didn't, what do you think? Just honestly wondering
Hi Jono, great info. I was just wondering if the real intenze ink has the net quantity of the ink on the label? Also, with the new bottle, does only the real one have the letter m on the bottom? Your videos are great. Hope to hear from you with your answer to my questions. Thanking you in advance for your attention to this message. Kind regards, Samantha from Australia.
Everything that’s stated on the label of the genuine bottle will be in the bottle including quantity. Intenze did change their bottles to make it easier to distinguish them from the fakes but it’s probably only a matter of time before the fakes clone the new bottles. So the best advice I can give is to make sure you buy from a reputable seller and double check that seller is an official distributor of Intenze ink. You can check this on the Intenze official website where you’ll find a list of every official seller. Thanks for watching!
Clara Campbell from any reputable dedicated tattoo supplier you’re pretty safe. I’ve just checked that site you asked about and they look legit. Thanks for watching!
First off, great video. Found your stuff and have been Soaking up all the info I can. So thank you for the info. Second, Holy shit that ink is crazy. So just to recap, ink should not stand up on its own? Smh
most of us filipino tattoo tattoo artists don't event buy inks on ebay lol.. we have legit sellers here that you can just come to the tattoo supply store and pick it up urself, those shitty inks are made in china never ever use those stuff
How can you be so sure it wasn’t made in the Philippines? To be honest I don’t care where it came from, it’s still wrong whatever way you look at it. But if I purchase a product for £1.54 and that includes the price of the product and the postage, and the postage clearly states from the Philippines then I assume it’s been made there.
I really loved this video. I been a tattoo artist for 10+yrs n ive seen so many cheap and knock off brands of ink hit the market and this is why i stress to all my customers even if they dont get a tattoo from me dont go bargain shopping for a artist because this is probably the kind of supplys/equipment their using. A good artist has to charge a certian price for a reason. We pay more for our supplies on our end to make sure we giving our clients the best possible product with their tattoo. Great video mate! Cheers!
Hey jono, thanks for all the videos, very informative. My question is how do you tell if you have "real" ink as apposed to counterfeit ink I tend to use dynamic, I pretty much have black, triple black, tripple white, heavy white, and a a set of solid ink greywash at the moment but will probably change that up until I find exactly what I like best and or exactly what shade I may want to end up with. Also what is my best choise to mix white with black ro make grey and not necessarily a "greywash" obviously not mixing brands, but also is it possible to add white to a" Grey wash shade"? Can I try this out on "fake skin" (I tend to use "realskin") (I also can't seem to use white on the "fake real skin" just wont take.) and have it turn out the same shade when I actually go to human skin? Also is there a way I could possibly pick your brain in the future with a email or other method thank you in advanced.
i saw a vid that dynamic ink made a mixing white especially for mixing with colours incl black. its a little thinner so perfect to mix with very thick ink. its not advisable to use it as a highlighter cuz its made for mixing not standing out. so perfect to create a grey and no wash :)
It just sad for me because I bought 14 bottles of fake INTENZE tattoo ink by the few months, and I find out the real INTENZE product and the fake.. I'm so down and disappointed because these bottles are really expensive for me and I have to save money again to buy colored ink. But this video got my brain like BOOM! damn, I'm so really shocked.. Thankyou for helping us know the real and fake ink of INTENZE, you change our lives. God bless you!
Can anyone here tell me what is the shaker inside the bottle? I once bought and intenze with the new label and bottle but when i finished it i was surprised to see it had a metal shaker inside instead of a glass ball… i switched to another brand since then
Men thanks for posting this..i saw this ink in Philippines..i thought its legit..i saw the address in label.im near on that city.. didn't know those ink are fake..it was expensive in here😂..damn those distributor
I have purchased nocturnal tattoo ink from two different verified distributors but the crowns on the bottom of bottles are two different styles. is one europe and one usa or one fake on real?
Frank Smith I’ve used Nocturnal and they’re a very nice ink. I’m not sure about this but one way to know for sure would be to contact them direct and just ask. If the sites are reputable tattoo suppliers the chances are that they’re both real.
I'm new to the tattooing game thanks for all the info!! But I just got some Dynamic ink from www.dynamiccolor.com but I'm hoping that's the legit website & hoping you could help me out on this! Is this the real website or is it a fake site??
