"Even if you have quality pigments and use the recommended carriers to mix the ink, there are other, less obvious potential health hazards associated with tattoo inks: Alcohol makes skin more permeable. This means that when alcohol is used in the ink or to disinfect the skin's surface, it allows more chemicals to cross into the bloodstream than ordinarily would". This quate helps in my research because it shows how ink may look like its safe when it's not. It talks about the hazard of using alcohol in the tattoo ink; how it can enter your bloodstrem and damage your heart. There are so many things wrong about using tattoo ink because of all the risks that are given, but at the same time there are safe inks to use that will not cause any of these problems.
