Overview

• The FDA has issued a recall for two Sacred Tattoo Ink products: Raven Black (Lot RB0624) and Sunny Daze (Lot SD1124), following the detection of pathogenic microorganisms.
• The contaminated inks contain Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a bacteria known for antibiotic resistance, and other harmful pathogens.
• Infections linked to these inks may cause rashes, lesions, and permanent scarring, with initial symptoms potentially misdiagnosed as allergic reactions.

• The FDA is collaborating with manufacturers and retailers to ensure the removal of the contaminated ink lots from the market.
