BACKGROUND
Modern tattoo colourants frequently consist of azo pigments that not only contain multiple impurities but also are originally produced for car paint and the dyeing of consumer goods.
OBJECTIVE
In order to be able to assess the health risk of tattoos, it is important to determine the pigment concentration in human skin.
METHODS
We tattooed excised pigskin and human skin with a common tattoo pigment (Pigment Red 22) under various conditions. After tattooing, we quantitatively extracted the pigment in order to determine the pigment concentration in skin.
RESULTS
The concentration of pigments ranged from about 0.60 to 9.42 mg/cm(2) of tattooed skin (mean value 2.53 mg/cm(2)) depending upon the size of the pigment crystals, the pigment concentration applied to the skin surface, and the respective procedure of tattooing.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, high concentrations of colourants are injected into the skin during tattooing and based upon this quantification, a risk assessment of tattooing ought to be carried out.
背景
现代纹身色素通常由偶氮颜料组成，这些颜料不仅含有多种杂质，而且最初是用于汽车喷漆和消费品染色的。
目的
为了能够评估纹身对健康的风险，确定人体皮肤中的色素浓度很重要。
方法
我们在各种条件下用一种常见的纹身色素（颜料红22）对切除的猪皮和人体皮肤进行纹身。纹身后，我们定量提取色素以确定皮肤中的色素浓度。
结果
根据色素晶体的大小、施加到皮肤表面的色素浓度以及各自的纹身程序，纹身皮肤中色素的浓度范围约为0.60至9.42mg/cm²（平均值为2.53mg/cm²）。
结论
总之，纹身过程中会将高浓度的色素注入皮肤，基于这种量化，应该对纹身进行风险评估。
