Canal Terrassa interviewed Dr. Neus Curcó on the impact of the tattoo ink on the body

An international study of Grenoble's European synchrotron reveals that some nanoparticles of tattoos can travel through the body and reach the lymph nodes of the lymphatic system. To talk about this issue and all the aspects that are derived in terms of health, the Canal Terrassa interviewed Dr. Curcó and last Wednesday the evening news on the news came out.

In this regard, Dr. Curcó talked about the impact of the ink on the body of tattooed people and refer to the possible negative effects of titanium dioxide and other pollutants, but there are still more studies to assess their toxicity.

According to Dr. Curcó, the red ink is the one that causes more allergies. There are also problems with the temporary tattoos of black henna that are often done in summer children. Other dermatological queries are due to infections from ink contamination and even from the water being used, tattoo reactions like a foreign body or warts to spread.

As the report concludes, the main recommendation is always to target a good professional when getting a tattoo and keep in mind that, over a period of time, these people will not be able to donate blood and could have limitations in the application of anesthesia, if they undergo interventions.
