Hi I desperately want to get a fairly large black tattoo that I recently got on my forearm lasered. My worry,after researching it a lot is that many black inks are found to contain the potent carginogen benzo pyrene.Im aware that the ink can collect in the lymph nodes and stay in the body but is this amount of benzo pyrene generally found in the inks so small it probably isn't worth worrying about.I certainly don't want to swap a cosmetic problem for an even bigger health problem. Thanks.
