Hello,

Does anyone know if there is any evidence that the chemicals/dyes used in tattoo ink can cause or trigger ITP?

The only thing I know about tattoo dyes is: they can be contaminated even tho in a new bottle and once that gets into your skin, who knows? I read one doctor that said tattoos can be endocrine disruptors. And how clean was the needle? For anyone wanting a tattoo, one of the doctors I was listening to said, buy your own organic ink and disposable needles. And Black ink is known especially to be easily contaminated.

Not what you're looking for?
