What is meant by REACH-compliant?

European authorities passed the new REACH Regulations, which came into effect in January 2022 and banned several pigment chemicals.
Most colors were affected, predominantly yellow, green, and blue. Since some shades of grey contain these colors, some gray colors were also not available for a time.
Tattoo manufacturers now need to register the formula for each tattoo ink color to be REACH-compliant. In some cases, the formula needs to be reformulated to satisfy the REACH requirements. REACH-compliant tattoo ink colors also need to meet labeling regulations to distinguish compliant tattoo ink colors.
All REACH-compliant Quantum tattoo inks are under the REACH Gold Label branding.

Are there going to be more REACH compliant colors available for sale in Europe?

As of the first week of April 2022, there are 75 REACH-compliant colors available for sale under the REACH Gold Label branding.
Europe-based tattoo artists can check back regularly to check stock or learn about the availability of new colors. You can also follow us on Facebook or Instagram for updates.
