I am a tattoo artist, and I have a lot of "paint" under my skin. Don't know of any problem with the pigments themselves. It's the other "stuff" added to the pigments that causes the problems, and that would depend on the intended use. But who cares...I don't paint my tips, and I never had a prop strike either. Not saying it will not happen...just don't think it will. Safety first!
