Tattoo-REACH
Finally wake up: it's about the most important work equipment you have, yours
Tattoo inks
In 2021 we are in the transitional phase of the Commission Regulation (EU) 2020/2021, also called: Tattoo-REACH, which will come into effect on January 4th next year 2022.
The majority of tattoo inks - if not all of the colors currently available on the market, with a few exceptions - are affected by the new regulation.
Since, in addition to the well-known pigments green 7 and blue 15, the amount of certain additives (e.g. as a preservative), other pigments and impurities are reduced to such a low detection limit that it makes it impossible to produce most tattoo inks, most tattoo inks are also included disappear at the beginning of 2022. From January 4, 2022, these colors may no longer be sold, bought or stored.
For various reasons, the manufacturers of these brands have not yet succeeded in replacing the ingredients, pigments, which will soon no longer be allowed, with others in order to guarantee a constant quality of the color shades concerned. Unfortunately, we have so far not received sufficient information from our suppliers as to when alternatives can be expected.
But you can be sure that heads are smoking in the background.
Even if the child seems to have fallen into the well, the petition on Save the Pigments continues. And every vote still counts, yours, your customers, friends and supporters. Makes sure that the voice behind the tattoo industry gets louder - shows the cohesion. Perhaps we can still move around the rudder and be perceived as a large unit.
Let life stay colorful!
