So, TL DR answer is yes, Ephemeral ink is safe. Tattoos containing metals such as iron, can also interact with medical procedures such as MRI and can become irritated.
Ephemeral tattoo skin#
Heavy metals are known to cause skin reactions and can be highly toxic. We avoided metallic components or metals in our ink. The polymers we use in our ink are sourced from the same manufacturers that produce for the medical industry and are manufactured under the same conditions – essentially medical grade. We avoided animal based or animal derived components in our ink. We chose components that had supporting scientific data that showed there was unlikely to be a build up of degraded or raw material components in organs such as the liver or kidneys and that the components or degraded materials would be expelled through natural processes such as sweating, urination, and defecation. We chose plant-based components where possible, whose health benefits are routinely touted by nutritional and medical experts.
None of the components of our ink are known to be, or are implicated as carcinogenic, teratogenic or have other severe disease-causing effects or abnormalities. We also chose materials previously tested for biocompatibility and were approved for surgical use, drug delivery and other applications to ensure that we were minimizing any undesired adverse responses. So, we chose materials that broke down into components (such as carbon dioxide, water, oxygen) native to, naturally occurring or used by our body to carry out routine everyday processes. We knew that our ink, unlike traditional tattoo inks, would have to eventually be expelled by the body. Here are all of the decisions we made in that process: In fact, our first three years were almost fully dedicated to researching and testing the safest components we could find that were already used in a number of products that we eat, drink, are medically treated with and wear and were approved by the FDA for use in these same products. With all of this in mind, we decided at the beginning of our research and development journey to go well above and beyond the safety standards of the traditional tattoo ink industry when formulating Ephemeral ink. Tattoo inks (permanent or otherwise) are no different - there will always be a portion of the population that experience adverse responses at various severity levels. For example, most of us like PB&J sandwiches, but some of us have severe peanut butter allergies, a few of us might develop skin rashes from the strawberries in the jelly, or there might even be gluten in the bread that can sometimes make us mildly uncomfortable. With the use of any product there is always a possibility of adverse reactions. Second, safety is generally defined as a product that is able to fulfill its intended use with minimal to no risk to the population that uses it. Please see this link for more information. It is therefore up to the manufacturers or suppliers of tattoo inks to ensure that components in their inks are as safe as possible.
Before I dive into how we’ve approached safety, I’ll start with an overview of the existing tattoo regulatory environment and how safety is defined.įirst, note that while the FDA regulates cosmetics it does not regulate tattoo ink. Hi everyone, one of the most common topics I am seeing mentioned here is re: Ephemeral ink safety.
