A 3517 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Directs the department of health to study on the long-term safety of tattoo ink and issue a report making recommendations for tattoo ink labeling

This bill directs the Department of Health to study the long-term safety of tattoo ink, including its ingredients and associated health risks. The study must examine both the ingredients in different inks and the health effects of tattoos made with those inks. Within one year, the Department must submit a report to state leaders with findings, labeling recommendations for tattoo inks, and suggestions for legal changes. The bill expires two years after becoming law, making it a temporary study mandate. It directly affects the Department of Health and would influence future tattoo ink labeling requirements and regulations.
