Tattoo FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Q: Tattoo Dyes are injected into my skin. Are they safe?
A: In Canada, Tattoo Dyes are considered cosmetics and regulated by Health Canada under the Food and Drugs Act and Cosmetic Regulations. According to Health Canada, "It is against the law to sell products in Canada which do not meet the requirements of the Cosmetic Regulations." Manufacturers are required to notify Health Canada of their products. You should always confirm that the dyes used for your Tattoo are properly registered with Health Canada. Information on the Cosmetic Regulations, how to notify Health Canada and other regulations can be found at www.healthcanada.gc.ca/cosmetics.
