ink freezing

[monkey-spoon]

Alright so I just orderd some ink and they explained to me that they are not liable for it freezing. I live in Illinois and the company is here in Il so I'm sure its not going to freeze and I should be getting it in the mail tomorrow. My question is what do you do with frozen ink? Is it ruined if it freezes?

from what i have read about it once tattoo ink freezes it should no longer be used. i have had to throw away several new large bottles of ink before, it made me sad to to it but i just didnt want to take the chance.

I just can't see it still being good. Freezing separates a lot of the different chemicals/elements used. I don't see how thawing them out and shaking them would put them back into their original state. And the smell of old melons? Isn't odor usually a sign that something is no longer good? Wouldn't the reaction causing the smell also potentially cause some kind of unwanted reaction in the skin?

yea that blog wasn't very in depth. I'll be sending Eternal an e-mail tonight

I agree.
Using frozen pigment is just as bad as using expired pigment.

What about pigment that has gotten really hot from being left in a car?
