Quantifying the dynamic hydrophobicity of carbon black tattoo ink owing to ultrasound

Résumé

Despite growing academic interest of tattoos in society, the reason why tattoos are permanent has predominantly been studied from a biological perspective. In preliminary physics studies of tattoo ink, it has been presumed that the hydrophobicity of the pigment prevents absorption and therefore may be a contributing factor to a tattoo’s permanence. According to these early studies, ultrasound might change the hydrophobicity of microparticles. The purpose of this study was to confirm the presence of hydrophobic components in carbon black tattoo ink and to relate sonication to such presence.
