2B Studies have shown that certain red, yellow, and orange pigments contain high levels of cadmium, which can cause severe allergic reactions and chronic skin conditions. Black ink, often assumed to be the safest, can contain carcinogenic compounds such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which are also found in coal tar. 

The Health Risks of Modern Tattooing

1. Toxic Ingredients in Tattoo Ink
Most people assume that tattoo ink is carefully regulated and tested for safety. However, many inks contain toxic metals such as lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury. These metals, originally used in industrial dyes and textiles, are now repurposed for tattoo pigments without thorough safety testing. The skin, an absorbent organ, allows these toxic substances to enter the bloodstream, potentially causing long-term health issues, including neurological disorders and organ damage.

In recent years, plastic-encapsulated pigments have been introduced into the tattoo industry. Marketed as long-lasting and vibrant, these inks contain microscopic plastic particles designed to remain in the skin permanently. While they may produce striking colors, their long-term health effects remain unknown, raising concerns about carcinogenicity and immune system reactions. 

2. The Problem with Cheap, Imported Ink
Many tattoo artists purchase ink from online retailers without knowing its exact composition. A significant portion of cheap ink is manufactured in China, where safety standards are minimal. Some of these inks contain industrial waste repurposed into pigment, exposing consumers to dangerous substances. Unlike traditional ink made from natural charcoal and organic carriers, modern synthetic inks are loaded with chemicals that were never intended for use in the human body.

Studies have shown that certain red, yellow, and orange pigments contain high levels of cadmium, which can cause severe allergic reactions and chronic skin conditions. Black ink, often assumed to be the safest, can contain carcinogenic compounds such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which are also found in coal tar. - SNIP-

Newer tattoo artists are using incredibly toxic tattoo inks from China without even knowing the ingredients. Therefore:

Laser removal of old school tattoos is less toxic requiring lesser protocol of 

activated charcoal, chlorophyll therapies, such as bentonite clay, and a lesser extent 

Spirulina Chlorella , Etc asked me for details I’ve written much about this. See also:

Laser removal of newer toxic China tattoo ink becomes a serious fatal problem in tattoo removal as human body cannot handle the compounds of toxic China tattoo Inc. compounds broken down by laser removal remaining in body, heading to brain kidney liver
