Ink safety in Tattooing

Your clients deserve to know they’re in safe hands.
Tattoo inks are regulated under strict EU REACH legislation, with specific restrictions on hazardous chemicals and mandatory safety documentation requirements. Despite having a booking system that supports safety gate alarms; many tattoo artists struggle with:
  • Tracking safety data sheets for every ink in their studio.
  • Monitoring Safety Gate Alarms for recalled or banned inks.
  • Verifying REACH compliance across multiple suppliers.
  • Maintaining documentation ready for regulatory inspections.
  • Understanding complex chemical regulations and their implications.
When clients ask about ink safety, it’s not often a clear documented answer can be presented.
It’s not only a missed opportunity - but also a potential liability.
 

How the SDS System changes the game

The upcoming SDS System is your comprehensive system for ink safety management, designed specifically for tattoo professionals who want to lead on client safety.
It’s build by tattoo artists for tattoo artists.

1. Weekly Safety Gate Alarm Updates

The portal tracks EU Safety Gate alerts every single week, ensuring you're immediately aware of any inks that have been flagged for dangerous chemicals or contamination.
What this means for your clients: You'll never unknowingly use recalled or unsafe ink. If an alarm is triggered, you'll know exactly what to do—from checking batch numbers to informing clients who may have been tattooed with affected products.
 

2. Curated Safety Data Sheets Library

Access verified Safety Data Sheets for major tattoo ink brands, organized and ready when you need them—whether that's during an inspection, when onboarding a new ink supplier, or when a client asks questions.
Brands covered include:
  • World Famous Tattoo Ink (Limitless series)
  • Intenze
  • Eternal Ink
  • Dynamic
  • Fusion Ink
  • Quantum Tattoo Ink
  • Solid Ink
  • Kuro Sumi

3. REACH Compliance Tracking

Understand what makes an SDS regulatory-compliant with clear guidance on the 16 mandatory sections required under EU regulations. The portal helps you verify that your suppliers are meeting legal standards—not just claiming they are.

4. Chemical Tracker

Track hazardous substances across your ink inventory, with detailed information on chemicals that have triggered safety alerts—including arsenic, lead, nickel, benzoapyrene, aromatic amines, azo-dyes, and bacterial contamination.

5. Actionable Guidance

The portal doesn't just tell you there's a problem—it tells you exactly what to do when an alarm is triggered:
  • How to verify batch and LOT numbers
  • When and how to inform affected clients
  • What to report to regulatory authorities
