In a sea of tattoos, this one glows in all the right places.
But tattoo studios in Canada are divided over the use of UV pigments, which have cropped up in North America and Japan in the past two years. Use of the inks is illegal in this country, Health Canada says
Provincial legislation governs the health and safety standards of tattoo studios and does not deal with ink products. Recently, Durham Region health officials urged as many as 2,000 people to get blood tests for HIV and hepatitis B and C over concerns that they may have been exposed to unsterilized equipment at an Oshawa tattoo parlour.
There's no specific regulation for the ink itself in Toronto tattoo studios, according to Manisa Jiaravuthisan, with Toronto Public Health. But there is legislation that outlines minimum requirements for tattoo studios so they can prevent blood-borne infections. This legislation is under review to bring it up to date, Jiaravuthisan says.

I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
