As a collector of living art -- better known as tattoos -- I’ve questioned the impact of my collection. In my pursuit of living a “greener” lifestyle, is getting tattooed a bad thing? What types of chemicals were in the ink that was pushed under my skin?
Reading the article “Tattooed Greenies” on agricultureguide.org shed some light on my own thoughts and concerns. It was really scary to read that the traditional inks used in today’s tattoos are unregulated by the FDA. It has only been within the last year that the FDA has launched probes into the implications of the inks used in tattooing.
There are some questions that are still left unanswered. Are there truly green alternatives for the tattoo enthusiast? I would love to get some feedback from readers with their own experience in going green and tattoos.
