Description
A few years ago, a team of European researchers discovered nanoparticles from tattoo pigments seem to be able to travel from a tattoo site into a body’s lymph nodes. A new follow-up study has now revealed chromium and nickel particles can break off the tattoo needle during a procedure and it is these molecules that may be responsible for some allergic reactions to tattoos.
