Tattoos Yucky? Guess I'm yucky. I got yucky way before tattoos became popular when the response was more akin to fringe element.
Happy member of the Fringe. :) -----Original Message----- From: histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu [mailto:histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu] On Behalf Of Bob Richmond Sent: Thursday, October 10, 2013 11:43 AM To: Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu Subject: [Histonet] Re: India Ink for inking surgical margin borders Ed Crespo, CT(ASCP) in Cypress CA asks: >>I normally purchase India Ink from one of our vendors, but know it's also sold at artist supply shops. Does anyone know if I can use the artist india ink for Pathology? Really, the only issue would be if the ink stays on the tissue during processing right? Please advise.<< I've used india ink from artist supply stores for marking surgical margins, for many years, and it's entirely satisfactory. A cheap source of colored particulate inks is tattoo inks - available in a huge range of colors - I have one pathologist client who's used them for years. The only downside is that you have to read some seriously yucky catalogs.
