Twp. of Washington NJ, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is warning consumers, tattoo artists, and retailers about the risk of serious infections associated with tattoo inks contaminated by harmful bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Tattoo inks that are contaminated can cause infections and lead to severe health issues when injected into the skin during a tattooing procedure, as there is an increased risk of infection whenever the skin barrier is breached.
Please see below for the products affected:
• Sacred Tattoo Ink, Raven Black; CI# 77266; Lot#: RB0624; Best Before: June 28, 2027
• Sacred Tattoo Ink, Sunny Daze; CI# 21095; Lot#: SD1124; Best Before: Nov 1, 2027
Indications of an infection can be difficult to recognize since other conditions (e.g., allergic reactions) may initially present similar signs and symptoms, leading to misdiagnosis and ineffective treatments. Symptoms include red rashes or lesions, which may result in permanent scarring.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) advises consumers to inquire with their tattoo artist about the inks being used and to avoid the products identified in the alert. Tattoo artists and retailers should cease using or selling the affected inks immediately.
The FDA is working to ensure that contaminated products are removed from circulation.
Anyone who experiences adverse effects should report them through the FDA’s SmartHub here: https://safetyreporting.fda.gov/smarthub
