Think before you ink.

A new study suggests almost half of all tattoo inks used in the United States could contain cancer-causing chemicals.

Researchers from State University of New York at Binghamton analyzed 56 popular inks often used by American tattoo artists, uncovering that 23 of them have potentially hazardous azo-compounds.

While azo-compounds are not a cause for concern while chemically intact, bacteria or ultraviolet light can degrade them into another compound that is carcinogenic.

Researchers have analyzed almost 100 inks and report that even when these products include an ingredient label, the lists often aren’t accurate. The team also detected small particles that could be harmful to cells.

I'm pretty sure you hoping I get cancer is a violation of forum rules.

I didn't report you, I'm just pointing it out.
