Poison in Tattoos for Kids
116
Tattoos for kids often have poison inside. Greenpeace tests 15 products in a lab. 13 tattoos are bad for kids. The experts find 31 chemistry items. This means lead and nickel. Soft makers and Teflon are also inside. Some items are forbidden in the EU.
These items can make cancer. Some items hurt babies. PFAS chemicals are very dangerous. People call them forever chemicals. They stay long in nature. The tattoos stay long on skin. The body takes the poison.
Greenpeace wants strict rules now. Minister Norbert Totschnig must forbid PFAS. Shops must stop selling bad tattoos. Online shops miss good info. Parents cannot read items there. Kids health is more important than money.
