3 more Tattoo ink recalls in Jan

Another 3 tattoo inks have been recalled this January 2018.
2 of them from Eternal and 1 from Intenze, two of the biggest players in the tattoo ink manufacturing field.

I actually can't wait for the EU to start fining these companies for releasing unsafe inks, it's such a disgrace, they should be testing each batch of ink released onto the market for the same levels the EU test for if they're to sell it in Europe. How can we expect change in the industry if the biggest players aren't doing anything about it?

In all 3 instances the same reasons were cited although varying levels of the chemicals were found in each case.

The risk type is chemical with the products containing unsafe levels of aromatic amine o-anisidine in all of them.
Aromatic amines can cause cancer, cell mutations and affect reproduction, nasty stuff and not what I want to be tattooing my clients with.
