# Major Recall Alert: Sacred Tattoo Ink, Raven Black and Sunny Daze Recalled Due to Bacterial Contamination, Including Pseudomonas Aeruginosa
The FDA has issued a **critical recall** for specific batches of Sacred Tattoo Ink, including Raven Black (CI# 77266; Lot#: RB0624; Best Before: June 28, 2027) and Sunny Daze (CI# 21095; Lot#: SD1124; Best Before: November 1, 2027). These tattoo inks have been found to be contaminated with harmful bacteria, such as **Pseudomonas aeruginosa**, which can cause serious skin infections and long-term health complications.
If you are a tattoo artist, consumer, or retailer, it’s crucial to understand the risks associated with this contamination and what steps to take to protect yourself and others.
## Why This Recall is Important
Tattoo inks contaminated with harmful bacteria pose a significant health threat. When applied to the skin during tattooing, the bacteria can enter the body through tiny breaks in the skin barrier. This can result in:
- Painful rashes or lesions where the ink is applied
- Red papules or pustules
- Severe bacterial infections that may lead to **permanent scarring**
- Misdiagnosis of conditions like allergic reactions, delaying proper treatment
The contamination was identified during the FDA’s routine surveillance and testing of tattoo products. Their analysis determined the presence of **pathogenic microorganisms** capable of causing widespread health injuries, particularly for people with weakened immune systems or other underlying health conditions.
If you have purchased or used Sacred Tattoo Ink, it’s essential to avoid using these specific tattoo inks immediately and seek medical attention if symptoms of infection occur.
