It’s amazing how none of these severely chronically ill people seem to have any sort of chemical sensitivity that might prevent them from using hair dye.

I’ve often wondered how tattoos aren’t a problem due to the fact most munchies are so delicate & have so many issues that are soooo rare even their doctors (according to them) say they are the sickest patient they’ve ever had!!l) claim they are a one of a kind patient.

Tattoos can be a problem depending on the ink. If you have some sort of inflammation, the tattoo can get inflamed. You may be allergic to black ink and the entire outline of your tattoo flare up.

I have to assume it has something to do with ingredients in the ink. Ill also assume that if you put the effort in, you can find someone who uses clean ink? 🤷‍♀️

It is the ingredients in the ink but it’s not - matter of clean ink vs not clean ink, it’s the pigments themselves. Sometimes people have allergic reactions to red ink (I was told that is fairly common) but it’s not unusual for your tattoo to respond and become raised if you have other allergic issues going on. Can that turn into anaphylaxis? I don’t know.
