I JUST got inked Sunday. Very nice place and his inks were on display. I just don’t know anything about them. I’m sure I’m good.
I do have to go back for session #2 still.

There’s an important note at the bottom of that article:

“The recall announcement noted that Sierra Stain is no longer in business. While the company lists a remaining email address, it did not immediately respond to a comment request from Ars on the bacteria found in their inks.

The FDA recommends that consumers be vigilant about the quality and safety of tattoo supplies and techniques. It also encourages tattoo artists to work in professional environments that can reduce the risk of contamination.”

Stay safe. Talk to your artists about their materials. Feel comfortable in your decision. These are your responsibilities.

I’m not discounting the issues with oversight, but these issues are arguably with the entire cosmetic industry as a whole, not just the tattoo industry.

This article is very informative, but given that the recall was tagged to one supplier that was already out of business, I do consider it misleading.

For piercings, APP is fantastic resource & well regarded.

I honestly cannot say the same about ATP, but they did release this statement about ink ingredients 5 months ago.

Take it for what’s it’s worth. Not an expert or an artist, just planning a few more pieces myself.

Bacteria don’t mind being called toxic or gross, but call them weird and they flip their shit.

Tattoo ink from Amazon? Gross. Never buy anything from Amazon that goes on or in your body.

OK but… do you buy your own tattoo ink? Do you know that your tattoo artist didn’t get theirs from Amazon?

CM400 ,

If they’ve already been buying trusted brands on Amazon, I could see them also trying something new…

I dunno, my mercury pills still seem alright.

My teen bought a kit off Amazon. Luckily found it before they used it but Def gonna also show them this article

What’s frightening is you’re not in control of where a tattoo artist sources their ink. You can ask, but you won’t really know. I’ve been eager to get additional tattoos but this freaks me out.

Name a bacterium you wouldn't consider weird.

Clostridium tetani (the bacteria that causes tetanus), it’s extremely common, basically everywhere.

EmpathicVagrant ,

Common can absolutely be weird.

Well… this makes me less inclined to get a tattoo.

Then again, the only tattoo I’ve ever wanted was one that just said “Leviticus 19:28,” but most people wouldn’t get the joke.

You’ll have to look it up.

David Cross joked about getting a tattoo of a milk carton with a certain holy figure with the words “Have you seen me?”
