Article Synopsis
- The REACH legislation in Europe restricts certain materials in tattoo inks, specifically banning Pigment Blue 15:3 and Pigment Green 7, and requires accurate ingredient labels.
- A study tested blue and green inks from five manufacturers claiming REACH compliance and found that 9 out of 10 inks failed to meet compliance, with four containing banned substances.
- The analysis also revealed mislabeling issues, such as the inclusion of unlisted ingredients like poly(ethylene glycol) and propylene glycol, highlighting the need for better manufacturing protocols and regulatory oversight.
