About the Cover
Permanent body art has grown in popularity in recent years, with millions of individuals getting tattoos. With this decision to get a tattoo comes risk: Injecting coloring compounds into the skin has been reported to cause allergies, skin inflammation, and systemic disorders. The goal of this issue鈥檚 cover article was to identify the pigments in a set of commercially available yellow tattoo inks. The tattoo and reference inks were examined using a range of techniques. The combined use of these techniques provides insight into ink composition without needing difficult and time-consuming sample preparation. More importantly, results indicate that the tattoo ink compositions differed from what was described on the labels. These unlabeled ingredients raise concerns about the regulation, health effects, and degradation products of tattoo inks.
