Tattoo ink linked to infection gets FDA recall

 http://www.wbtv.com/story/26287344/tattoo-ink-linked-to-infection-gets-fda-recall

Quote
Recently the FDA made a nationwide recall on White and Blue Lion tattoo ink. They say it's due to a pathogenic bacterial contamination within the ink. One person has already suffered a skin infection from its use.

This bacteria can be very dangerous if it is released into your bloodstream. It can affect certain organs, which can be life-threatening.

White and Blue Lion ink is a California based company. They sell ink, needles, and kits, usually for those wishing to tattoo at home. Consumers can find their products online.
