Adverse Effects of Tattoo Inks on Health Hampering Tattoo Inks Market
The popularity of tattoos has risen over the last few years. However, this has led to concerns about the safety of tattoo inks, which may entail infectious and non-infectious risks. Tattoo inks may contain hazardous chemical ingredients and microbiological agents. They may be applied under poor hygiene conditions. According to the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, tattoo inks consist of pigments and dyes, additives, nanoparticles of heavy metals, and hazardous impurities arising from the production process. This may pose potential risks in terms of bacterial contamination, allergies, toxic effects, and even cancer. The European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology has an evidence that traces of tattoo inks can be found in draining lymph glands and they can be detected in mice livers in laboratory tests. More than 60% of chemicals in tattoo inks are azo pigments, a type of compound which, after being injected, can break down by ultra-violet exposure and spread potentially cancer-causing particles to other parts of the body. Tattoo inks also contain several chemicals such as formaldehyde glycerol and isopropyl alcohol. If these chemicals go deep into the skin, the skin becomes more permeable. In other words, chemicals used in the tattoo ink are harmful and they can directly affect the blood circulation in the body.
