The FDA has long warned about tattoo inks containing harmful bacteria, which can lead to inflammatory reactions, infections, and allergic hypersensitivity.
Recent FDA testing revealed that contaminated tattoo inks from Sierra Stain were laden with various harmful bacteria, raising significant public health concerns.
The contaminated inks included rare bacteria, such as Citrobacter braakii and Acetobacter senegalensis, which pose risks especially to individuals with compromised immune systems.
Despite no reported infections linked to the recent ink recall, the FDA emphasizes the challenging nature of diagnosing reactions from contaminated inks.
