Are You Tatted? How To Support A Body with Tattoos

The European Commission’s Joint Research Centre investigated tattoo inks across Europe and reported their findings. Their report found different heavy metals like arsenic, nickel and lead. It also expressed concerns that the pigments used in formulations dont undergo a risk assessment that considers long term presence in the body.

All ink colours have been shown to cause allergic and inflammatory reactions but RED ink especially has been shown to be problematic.

Evidence shows that nano sized particles from tattoo ink travel from the skin and embed in the lymph nodes and also travel through the blood to be deposited to the liver. When we get a tattoo, the body removes small pigment molecules from the ink and moves them through passive and active transport along the lymphatic vessels.

Tattoo pigments contain metal oxides which makes them “radiopaque” meaning it can appear on xrays and present similarly to calcification. Armpit lymph nodes can appear abnormal on a mammography due to the uptake of tattoo pigment.

A study done in 2020 showed a 41 year old woman who received a blue tattoo 2 years before her mammography, there appeared to be densities on her lymph nodes. A biopsy was done and the densities were in fact blue ink stains.
