Summary and conclusions<br />
In Denmark, the number of professional tattooists has increased and it is<br />
estimated that 13 % of the adult population, i.e. app. 600.000 persons, have a<br />
tattoo.<br />
In 2002, the Danish Environmental Protection Agency carried out a project<br />
on the investigation of colorants in tattoo inks. The objective of this project is<br />
to illustrate which tattoo inks were used by professional Danish tattooists in<br />
2010, analyse the content of selected substances and estimate the possible<br />
health-related risks connected with tattooing.<br />
The survey of tattoo inks on the Danish market appears from Chapter 1. The<br />
objective of the survey was through interviews to identify which tattoo inks are<br />
used on the Danish market and to select products for analysis.<br />
A total of nine tattooists were interviewed. The contacted tattooists informed<br />
which tattoo inks they use and specified the proportional distribution among<br />
their consumption of six main colours – black, red, blue, green, yellow and<br />
white. In addition, the tattooists described the distribution according to age<br />
and sex.<br />
Apart from the contacted tattooists, Danish Tattooist Guild (Dansk Tatovør<br />
Laug 3 ) informed which colour series/brands the members use.<br />
Tabel 0.1 gives an outline of which colour series appeared during the survey.<br />
It also shows how many tattooists informed that they use the individual series.<br />
A tattooist typically uses colours from more than one series.<br />
However, the information from the members of the Danish Tattooist Guild<br />
(from a total of 34 tattooists) only comprises one series per tattooist as they<br />
alone have informed about their preferred series, see Table 0-2.<br />
