I remember reading about a young woman who was very into health; healthy diet, exercise, etc., yet she struggled with serious health issues. Through several I doctor visits and tests made the connection that she was experiencing health problems due to the toxicity from the ink of her many tattoos.
I always thought use of tattoo ink is a health concern because the skin is one of the body’s major organs.
“Historically, tattoo inks have been underregulated in the US market. This study analyzes inks from nine different brands that are common in the United States, ranging from major to small manufacturers. Out of 54 inks, 45 contained unlisted additives and/or pigments. Major, unlisted adulterants include poly(ethylene glycol), propylene glycol, and higher alkanes. Many of the adulterants pose possible allergic or other health risks. Taken together, the results from this study highlight the potential for a significant issue around inaccurate tattoo ink labeling in the United States.”
