Safety fear over tattoo ink

Quote:

A preliminary study of the most popular inks found dangerously high levels of toxic heavy metals. Researchers say this could lead to nerve disorders, blood poisoning and even memory problems and have called for an investigation.

Quote:

There are no regulations covering inks used in British and American tattoo parlours.

That amazes me. Of all the things in the world I would have thought would be regulated, tatoo ink is right near the top. How did that one slip through the net then!
