I would like to use around 30-50 different people so I could have a reference to the popularity of tattoos.
I need a little help from anyone who has a tattoo or several. I am trying to write an abstract for a research proposal to measure the concentrations of heavy metals and volatile organic compounds in tattoo ink. I will be testing for the presence and levels of antimony, arsenic, beryllium, lead, mercury and selenium, while another lab will test for other heavy metals and the organics.
The colors I am testing will be black, white, red, blue, green, yellow and purple, so if anyone has these colors on a tattoo could you please let me know which ones and your age? Im really not to concerned with the facts, as this is only a proposal and not a publication, but if you have a prison yard tattoo etched by Nasty Nate using his favorite shank that he hides in his rectum, I can't use that info. Let me know if there are any questions.

nice, thanks guys. It probably won't be until after Christmas, but i'll post the results after I'm done.
when I was 6. a tattoo was on the top of my christmas list, right before a leather jacket, guitar, and motor bike. my mom said I could have them all when I was older. the tatoo is the only one I dont have, when I got older everyone else got them!
I will surely include this in my proposal. You have altered the future of Analytical Chemistry. thank you very much.Originally Posted by MyK
Black, Red, Yellow, Green, Blue - age 28, got it when I was 17.


I got a tattoo a couple of nights ago made with a sharks tooth dipped in demons blood.
Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
and drag down the features of age,
no folds or creases from unkempt wear
eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012

I'm now 28, any questions?
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...
