Tattoo Ink Recall Sparks Warning About Infections, Permanent Scarring

Tattoo artists and consumers are being urged to steer clear of certain Sacred Tattoo Ink products after federal testing revealed contamination with potentially dangerous bacteria.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a public safety warning following the discovery of pathogenic microorganisms in two specific ink lots, which could lead to serious infections and permanent skin damage if used.
Newsweek reached out to Sacred Tattoo Ink by email for comment.
Why It Matters
Tattoos are rising in popularity, with data showing that 30 percent of Americans have at least one tattoo, the FDA reported.
The alert about Sacred Tattoo Ink, published by the FDA on Wednesday, comes amid growing public scrutiny over product safety in the personal care and cosmetics industries. Tattoo procedures inherently involve breaking the skin barrier, which heightens the risk of infection from any contaminants introduced during inking, according to the FDA.
What to Know
The contaminated products include Sacred Tattoo Ink's Raven Black (Lot#: RB0624, best before June 28, 2027) and "Sunny Daze" (Lot#: SD1124, best before November 1, 2027), both of which are the subject of a targeted recall. Testing identified the presence of bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which can be resistant to antibiotics and difficult to treat once infection sets in.

Infections stemming from these contaminated inks may present as rashes or red lesions and, in more severe cases, can lead to scarring. Misdiagnoses are possible, the FDA cautioned, as symptoms may mimic allergic reactions or other skin conditions, delaying appropriate treatment.
The FDA identified the contaminated lots through routine surveillance sampling and subsequent lab analysis. The agency used its Bacteriological Analytical Manual for cosmetics to test for microbial contamination.
