👉 Tattoo fumes, also known as tattoo aerosols or aftercare mists, are volatile organic compounds released when ink is sprayed into the skin during the tattooing process. These fumes typically contain a mix of solvents, pigments, and other chemicals used to carry the ink. While they are generally considered safe for short-term exposure, inhaling them can cause respiratory irritation, headaches, and eye discomfort in some individuals. Proper ventilation and wearing a mask or respirator during the session can minimize these effects, but it's important to note that prolonged or repeated exposure should be avoided to prevent potential long-term health impacts.
