Are Chameleon UV Tattoo Inks
Safe
First the Technical:
BMXMETRIX System-1000 ("BMX1000™") Photonic Marking Formulation is
"state-of-the-art", Safe Spectral Marking Pigment (SMP)™ that has
been used since 1995 safely with absolutely NO adverse
reactions. It consists of the highest quality dye encapsulated and inert
microscopic beads suspended in ultra-clean proprietary solution. Referred to
as "photonic tags or tattoos™" the marks are created by placing these
inert particles in or beneath skin tissues. It has been carefully formulated
to assure biocompatibility and safety, retention and ease of administration.
Under ambient ("normal") light , photonic tattoos are normal in color, but
when placed by UV ("black") light, it exhibits intense fluorescence.
The ingredients of
Chameleon UV Tattoo Inks:
(PMMA) Polymethylmethacrylate 97.5% and microspheres of fluorescent dye 2.5%
suspended in UV sterilized, distilled water with no preservatives or other
additives.
PMMA is used in familiar
procedures as dental prostheses, bone repair, eye lenses, orthopedics and in
pacemakers, and since 1947 when the first hip prosthesis was introduced.
These microspheres are 4-5 times the size of a red blood cell and are well
tolerated by human tissue (no rejection). More recently used in the
treatment for erasing facial wrinkles.
The UV Inks are used just
like any other tattoo ink, though a UV Blacklight Should be used to check
the ongoing work.
According to our
manufacturer's records, this ink received USFDA
approval in 1995 for use in animals, plants and fish for the purpose of
tracking migration, growth patterns; breeding habits etc. No other
tattoo inks have received approval in this way. Many fisheries use this
ink to "mark" the fish in oceans and the ones raised to stock rivers
and ponds.
One last note - hundreds of thousands of men, women, and children's hands
have been stamped every day
with fluorescent dyes for many years at major amusement parks, night clubs,
and public events, with NO adverse reactions.
Listed on the MSDS Sheet
as you can read for your self. If you get the ink in your eyes, flush with
water.

Testing shows that the only way the dyes could break down was if the PMMA Beads were
completely frozen (-10° Below Zero for extended periods of time), so if you are planning to use
cryopreservation
(freezing your body after death - hey, don't laugh, you wanted to know if
it was safe) for any reason - UV reactive tattoos should be avoided. If
they did break down, the dye would act like normal tattoo inks, and the
glow under blacklight would be much less. The dyes are totally organic
and biocompatible, non-carcinogenic, and MRI safe.
You
need a Blacklight to make the tattoo "GLOW".
All the 17 colors show up in normal light.
The 18th color UV Titanium White can be used
on light skin tones to create virtually
invisible tattoos - some light scaring
may occur due to the tattooing process. See
