1: Inorganic tattoo ink is a solution mixture of synthetic colorants derived from chemical substances. Specifically, they include Iron Oxides, lead, and mercury. However, they are only used within permissible limits.
Outstanding characteristics:
- Easily adheres to the skin during tattooing and retains color for a long time, suitable for customers who prefer intense colors.
- Affordable price.
Disadvantages:
- Prone to color blurring, leaving green-gray spots, sometimes permanently purple due to lead contamination. (Green/blue tattoo, red tattoo)
- Many small tattoo shops, some profit-oriented individuals opt for inorganic ink. Customers who prefer intense, vibrant colors at first may not care about the issue of lead metal contamination in the lips later, which affects health.
- Apart from Iron Oxides, there are also harmful metals such as mercury and lead, which pose risks to health, lungs, liver, and worse, may be the leading cause of cancer. Some countries have banned the circulation of surplus metal-containing tattoo ink products on the market due to their harmful effects.
