Abstract in brief

  • The rise in popularity of tattoos and permanent makeup has led to increased societal acceptance and regulatory focus, especially in the European Union, which has made progress by collecting market data on hazardous substances and linking adverse reactions to specific ink components.
  • Challenges in ensuring safety include limited knowledge about how complex inks and their breakdown products behave inside the body, making risk assessment difficult.
  • The article explores regulatory strategies for controlling substances in tattoo inks and PMU, considering potential future restrictions under the REACH regulation, including risk evaluation and setting concentration limits for different substances.]
