Eternal Ink · Light Red

The product contains nickel (measured value: 9.56 mg/kg) and aromatic amine 4-methyl-m-phenylendiamine (measured value: 5521 mg/kg). According to the Council of Europe Resolution ResAP (2008) on requirements and criteria for the safety of tattoos and permanent make-up, nickel level must be as low as technically achievable as nickel has a high allergenic potential and the aromatic amines as 4-methyl-m-phenylendiamine with carcinogenic effects, should neither be present in tattoos and permanent make-up products nor released from azo-colourants.
