Apparently the EU have decided to ban lots of tattoo ink because you dont always know what is in it and what they know is in it can be Bad.
*looks at wrist and blinks a lot*
that is a concern?
in the UK "the restriction proposal “will consider … but is not limited to, substances that can cause cancer, are dangerous to reproduction, skin sensitisers and irritants”."
but apparently due to Brexit the UK doesnt have to harmonise on this and can continue to have completely unregulated substances needled under the skin
if the government want to.
"it poses one of the first tests for the UK’s approach to regulation of laws affecting consumers since it achieved independence from the bloc."
got to say, did not see that one coming.
