Tattoo ink "Medium Brown"

Requirements breached

The product poses a chemical risk because it contains 30.1 mg/kg of nickel and 7.5 mg/kg of arsenic. According to ResAP (2008) 1, nickel levels in tattoo inks must be as low as technically achievable as nickel has a high allergenic potential. The application under the skin of tattoo inks containing nickel results in permanent contact with a sensitising allergen. The arsenic level detected in the sample also exceeds the level of 2 mg/kg recommended in Resolution ResAP (2008) 1.
