Restriction on the use of tattoo inks entered into force
Already with Commission Regulation (EU) 2020/2081 of 14 December 2020, amending Annex XVII of Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 (REACH), a comprehensive restriction of substances in tattooing inks or permanent make-up was introduced. Initially, a transitional period still applied to the use of corresponding mixtures. However, after 04.01.2022, affected mixtures may no longer be used for tattooing purposes.
