I am thinking about getting a tattoo but i don't know if im allergic to the ink they use how do i find out if i am or not before i pay for it ?

If having sensitive skin and/or history of allergies and hypersensitivity, having a tattoo would not be a good idea given its risk/benefit ratio. Talk to your primary care doc as well who can discuss it further in the context of your known medical conditions/treatments/allergy profile.
