^ I was referring to actual colours, as in red, green, which if I remember correctly are some of the most dangerous, regardless of producer. I think you were referring to pigments offered by niche companies. Colours are usually created from the same natural sources. Like how the most often used shade of red in the food industry is always made out of a particular type of bug.
There are not that many things in nature from which you can get a specific colour for a specific industry. You don't have dozens of options. You oftentimes only have one pigment per colour, you can't get it from anything else.
It's not like those niche companies can create some other natural sources for the pigments they need, man can only transform, not create. They can certainly invest in trying to come up with a process of obtaining that pigment that would render it less harmfull and advertise it as safer, cause it sounds more appealling than less harmfull .
But can they truly garantee that every last one of those pigments that have very varied sources and are each obtained in very different ways, are relatively safe? I severly doubt that they had the absurd amounts of money required for that huge of a research. Let's not fool ourselves.
potential risk vs. no real benefit = I'll pass
Sorry for the long text BTW, I haven't learned the art of expressing my thoughts in a clear succint way, it's a bummer...

Lol, the major difference is that I NEED water but I don't need to embelish my body. And of course that anything in huge quantities has a damaging effect on your health but water normally has an actual benefit.There might be a chance you could get water poisoning but you will continue to drink it though. No?

Then why are there safer inks on the market? Safer than what... safe? It's not logical.There's more evidence of water poisoning than there is evidence to come to a concrete conclusion on the possible but not determined long term effects of tattoos
Nah, unfortunately I don't have any of my old searches because I erased my browser history quite some time ago, because of.. reasons... =) Don't laugh too much, I'm a very different person now.I wasn't trying to argue but I figured you might have some links since you presented this to me.
