FabSwingers.com forum: Tattoo Inks safe?

By (user no longer on site) OP
over a year ago

Always liked tattoos on women, but has to be good art and have often ended up in in relationships with women partly covered or the likes of a sleeve or a leg.

Do like tattoos but dont have any myself as my mates an artist for tats.

During my youth when he was learning he told me "never get a tattoo mate, they not safe" I never did. He got cancer now and its been put down to all then lead and heavy metal in his body......his kidneys are full of black ink.

Tattoos, though extremely popular, have not historically been heavily regulated.

As a result, some tattoo inks have contained harmful and even toxic ingredients, ranging from metallic salts and lead to plastics, formaldehyde and a range of other chemicals. Today, many tattoo artists recognize the importance of using nontoxic inks in their work but the carrier solutions

contain harmful substances such as denatured alcohols, methanol, rubbing alcohol, antifreeze, detergents, or formaldehyde and other highly toxic aldehydes.

Then is the inks...

The oldest pigments came from using ground up minerals and carbon (known cause of cancer) black. Science has proved a wide range of dyes and pigments are now used in tattoos "from inorganic materials like titanium dioxide and iron oxides to carbon black, azo dyes, and acridine, quinoline, phthalocyanine and naphthol derivates, dyes made from ash, and other mixtures." Currently popular is Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS plastic), used in Intenze, Millenium and other ABS pigmented brands.Auto mobile paint and industrial floor paints are often used in the bright colours.

Often see women on here with loads of tattoos.

People must think they safe or don't care if are or not?

I'd like to see a proper peer reviewed research paper on these claims and not just "hear-say" claims from a friend.

Tattoo's have been around for decades, and are incredibly regulated these days. There is so much health and safety involved its unreal.

And what about the men that have tattoos? Is it only woman that aren't "Safe"

The trouble is any one can buy a tattoo gun from ebay and self-tattoo and claim to be something they're not. If you're going to these types of unlicensed people, then there are risks, especially if they have no experience or idea of sterilisation.

Also to add. You can buy inks from anywhere. But like anything you buy, albeit online or not, there are risks of counterfeiting and fakes. That's buy you buy from licensed and supported sources.

It's just archaic evidence. It was true about 20-30 years ago, but the industry has acknowledged and adapted since (for example, certain metal based inks mean tattooed people can't have MRIs).

I hope so anyway, otherwise I'll be looking at a sex change as I'm one of the susceptible females.

Then industry has not adapted. Sorry your wrong there.

Is no regulation to be had and ink manufacturing don't ever tell what's in their products so is no competition. Science proves many cases and reports that ink is not safe even the old natural inks...like carbon black. Carbon in body causes cancer.

Did you read post...it apply to men too. I just like tattoos on women like said in post

You might be right about regulations and health and safety to do with the art its self.

However you are incorrect is no regulation anywhere in world to do with the inks or carriers and especially not in UK.

Disprove me adequately then.

The inks have changed massively over the years due to biocompatibility issues as well as improving the aesthetic result. Just because there may be little regulation, it doesn't mean that you are going to get cancer.

What's a proper place?

Given that non of the ink manufacturing tells the artists what exactly is in their inks.

So if the artist dont know...how does it mean its safe. Most manufactured inks claim to be safe but when tested in lab nearly all are not safe. Even some of the so called vegan inks still have nasty carriers

This is basically very generalised scaremongering, unless you have any reputable scientific evidence to back it up, (which I doubt).

Statements such as carbon is a known cause of cancer is ridiculous. *Some* types of carbon via *some* methods of exposure are thought to be carcinogenic to varying degrees, but the human body is roughly 1/5 carbon so let's not be silly, eh? Diamonds are carbon. Carbon is present in every living (or previously living) organism. It's one of the most abundant elements in the universe.

Where is these papers then? If you have claims and sources then show us? What's the hide. I have no problems admitting im wrong if I'm wrong. But I refuse to do so until I'm shown evidence

There are risks of cancer in every aspect of life now. Too much and too little of anything these days apparently can give you cancer. I better stay in doors from now on. But that might give me cancer. So I better go outside. But that might give me cancer also.

Your body consists naturally of approximately 18.5% carbon!

Where are all the papers on these cases science proves?

You clearly have no idea at all what you're on about and are making yourself look ill-informed and rather silly.

Because you're making broad statements.

The Council of Europe regulate tattoo ink. Although the UK doesn't, the manufacturers adhere to these laws as it makes financial sense to sell one product throughout Europe. I do not believe that the Council of Europe allows carcinogens to be used and I think that you are either mistaken or stupid.

Why should you prove? Because you started the thread making claims mate.

Now all you're doing is sticking your fingers in your ears and shouting "LALALALALA" because you don't want to hear our side of the argument.

Debates work both ways and so do opinions. If youre willing to give you're side then you should at least be open to hearing others.

I never claimed that. Its in the independent and also several scientific reports. Slightly different but they said don't eat burnt toast a while back haha why...cancer

The carbon black was one thing I personally thought safe. Its the other stuff that's bad and the carrier solution

You're the one who posted a ridiculous claim so yeah, you're the one who should be able to back it up when challenged.

Your claims about carbon alone suggest you don't have much scientific knowledge, if any.

As for PhDs, yeah, ok

Oh well eh, so I have tattoos and one day I'll die, shit happens, and even though some no-mark who claims to have a PhD and a pile of scientific papers says it's harmful it won't stop me having more.

There's little point trying to start an argument or debate if you're not prepared to back up your facts, it's not for anyone else to disprove, it's for you to prove you're right, most people who have tattoos (for the right reasons) couldn't really care less.

If you don't have any , why are you so concerned ??

Let us that have or decide to get them make our own conclusions about how safe they are

My grandad was a navy man and was covered in tattoos which I suspect he didn't get in this country and most likely under the influence of alcohol so wouldn't have asked what ink was being used on him and he died at a good age and not a sign of cancer ..

I love my tattoo and plan to get more

Weird!

I just did a quick google and found that there have been no scientific studies (the FDA in America started one in 2013 - still awaiting the results!) re the safety of tattoo ink.

So I'm curious as to your 'piles of scientific data' !

As someone with many tattoos - am I worried? Not in the slightest.

The difference is I never made any claims about what "science" says about my Scoob or its tyres. Those posts were my opinions, with no claims of papers, PhDs or scientific "fact".

You're really making yourself look very silly as well as gullible and poorly educated.

You can't back up your claims and we all know it. My claims, such as those about carbon, are very well known. Why do you think humans are called carbon-based life forms?

Oh no! We all have carbon in our bodies. We must all have cancer. Call the National Guard!

Let us that have or decide to get them make our own conclusions about how safe they are

I love my tattoo and plan to get more

Good for you. I like tats on women like I said in post.

Yeah your grandad likely safe as back in day most inks came from natural substances not chemilacls and non natural stuff. Its the inks of today not safe in opinion of science

Not safe in the opinion of *you*. Who knows nothing of science, clearly.

Well you know nothing about tyres or rubber moulding and design processes yet you discussed them at great length like some kind of expert haha "

And made no scientific claims I couldn't back up at all.

Unlike you.

You're contradicting yourself massively here.

There is plenty of space to post links

You're to busy to provide source to prove you claims, yet not but buy enough to post here

How can we me misinformed if you won't provide proof stating other wise.

Your logic is questionable

Holy fuck........Life would be really REALLY boring if we stopped doing things, eating things, drinking things that 'could' potentially cause us harm.

Tell you what, I think I'll carry on the way I am. I'd rather go with a smile on the face than die of boredom.

I've never heard of anyone getting cancer due to tattoo ink. Sounds like a load of blshit to me. I shall continue to collect more tattoos. I'm sure everything gives you cancer these days anyway.

This! Nothing is safe in life and you will always be at risk of something. Do what makes you happy!

as someone who is heavily inked as well as a fully qualified tattooist i find this whole thread fookin funny!

and for the record before you try and jump on me about what ink i use,i mix my own so yes i know what goes into them and no i wont tell you my mix since i dont give away trade secrets to those of the unmarked variety :P

also all i can say to the OP is : when you started this thread surely you didnt think people wouldnt question your so called "scientific data"?!?!

That true.

The OP's original post gave me cancer.
