Many Tattoo Artists Mix Their Own Inks – Is this Safe?

The following post is an excerpt from The Secret Dangers Of Tattoo Inks special report.

Mixing tattoo inks is now more popular than before because tattoo artists and customers are now more aware of what they put under their skin. People now know that the commercially mixed paints could contain different types of toxins and heavy metals that can harm the body and cause different ailments.

The commercially mixed tattoo inks are based on metal salts and some of them contain car paints. The main ingredients in such kind of paints are cobalt, ultra marine, manganese and iron. Most of these metals can cause heavy metal toxicity and they tend to accumulate in body. Even though we know that the amount entering the body is very small and the pigment is just found under the skin but we need to know if we can use something safer and more efficient or not. Tattoo ink is a part of a big industry and many companies are now producing such inks. Each company produces different types of inks and each company tends to preserve its recipe as a secret and does not reveal it to the public. The law helps them do so because there are no regulations that oblige the
company to disclose the ingredients on the container package. Also the company is free to use any kind of cosmetic or painting colors because it is legal to do this.

This causes some tattoo artists prefer to mix their own inks at home without buying anything from the tattoo stores except the powder that gives the color. This is a simpler solution so they can know most of the components they are using. It is a very good idea to know what is going inside your body instead of just using ready-made or dispersed inks with vague ingredients. The most popular way that tattoos artists use to mix their own inks is simple but it needs a lot of practicing to control the ingredients and know the exact amount of each of them. This should be done over a period of time and the tattoo artist should keep track of the amounts so he can find out which mixture was more successful.

The question remains, how safe are tattoo inks mixed by tattoo artists? How many have a sterile environment to do such work? How many are trained in techniques to avoid or remediate contamination? Are these toxic components are real health risk? How will they react in the body over a period of time?

    After you finally make up your mind to get a tattoo, the most important and hardest decision to make are what tattoo design to get and where on your body you should get it at. However, it is paramount to stay away from tattoo trends.

    This is because there is a very high likelihood that your tattoo design that was once popular will not look so great a few years down the lane. After all trends or fads fade out of style all the time. The best piece of advice is just to simply stay away from tattoo trends, unless it is something that you truly want and can live with forever.
