Tattoos

Different colors and different brands of tattoo ink have different pigments and thus different types and concentrations of heavy metals. If you choose to get a tattoo, consider detoxing before and after.

ARE SOME METALS IN TATTOO INKS HARMFUL TO HEALTH?
In this study, amounts of some metals were measured in samples taken from the market, and some of the amounts were found to be above the concentrations specified in the guidelines and in amounts that could pose a risk to public health. Reliable results were obtained by validating the method and choosing the best acid combination for the preparation of the samples.
Many people may not be aware that they can get harmful effects by the chemicals of tattoo inks. We believe that it will be beneficial to make the results open to public and to inform tattoo artists and people who have tattooed, albeit limited, when deciding to purchase tattoo ink.
