Tattoo artists in the EU will no longer be allowed to use coloured ink after January 4.

Tattoo artists in the EU will not be allowed to use coloured ink from Tuesday, January 4, onwards.

Ink suppliers were given until January 4 of next year to find different, REACH-approved chemicals to create the same colours. Similarly, the founder of the Funestik Tattoo Mania parlor in Brussels, Fabrizio Funelli, had to rush a colourful sleeve he has already started for a regular client. REACH has given ink suppliers more time – up until January 4, 2023 – to come up with alternatives for these two pigments.But supporters believe a ban, whenever it takes effect, ‘would have a lasting negative impact on the economic competitiveness of European tattooists and pigmenters vis-à-vis providers outside the EU, and would seriously jeopardize the very existence of this profession’.
