the theory behind the use of acrylic ink is two fold; 1. the MRI issue, 2. plastics have been used successfully in humans for decades.
now i don't doubt your friends story, something happened, but the MRI thing has been tested & debunked. i'm wondering if the friend had amateur tattoos with more metal in them than normal. the metal in professional tattoo ink is tiny. not being fighty but this gets discussed alot on tattoo sites.
there is a known allergic reaction issue to red ink. there is also a connection between PPD reactions in hair dye triggered by tattooing. i'm exhibit A. for that. some major hair dye co. warn against tattooed people using their products.
as for "vegan" tattooing my artist, a 13 year veteran, feels it's a marketing ploy. tina
