Lunchbox7:
Wellwellwell. Since I work for Riken Brain Science Institute, I have full access to every medical journal imaginable that is searchable in the scientific search engines we daily use. I just went thru with my fellow post-doc's a huge load of PEER REVIEWED ARTICLES and we could not find ANY articles regarding cancers, especially melanoma, ink toxicity, pigment toxicity in tattoos.
There was a load of articles of positive uses of tattoos to mark cancers for surgery, using the inks to color the cells to see if they're spreading. We found one article where the abstract told that there's been 7 documented cases of melanoma forming in tattoo in Great Britain. Seven. That's all. You realize how insignificant this is regarding all the cases of melanoma in GB thru all time, even if you only count in people with tattoos?
Discussion:
Your allegations are bullshit. You're spreading FUD (Fear, Uncertainity and Doubt) which is harming people trying to make decisions that most likely last on their skins for the rest of their lives. Hence, I'm closing the thread.
PS.
Manic_Skafe: Please, take great care choosing your artist. Check that he has autoclave and that he's using it. if not, change the artist. Never accept a needle that has been used before. If the artists doesn't discard the needles after use, discard the artist. My artist breaks the needles immediatelly after use in front of my eyes and cleans every piece of equipment in autoclave. Wears protective clothing and generally is very careful.
