Nickel in inks and needles: 

All of the tattoo inks have trace amounts of nickel although it is detected as impurity originating in other ingredients, not as an additional component. Some colours like green, blue, violet, brown, can have higher levels of it. The German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment recommends limiting nickel in tattoo inks to the lowest possible technical level and it is strictly regulated. According to information provided by producers and few available studies, these trace amounts of nickel found in tattoo inks might not be sufficient to trigger a reaction in sensitive individuals. Nickel is marked as: CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499. Iron oxide and titanium oxide should be  avoided if you are allergic to nickel as they may cause allergic reactions.

Tattoo needles contain nickel (6-8 %) and chromium (15-20%) added in order to protect them against acid and chemical decomposition. Although nickel is a common allergen, allergic reactions to tattoo needles are relatively rare. This is likely due to the short duration of contact and the protective coating on the needles. 

Lidocaine use an anesthetic:

A genuine allergic reaction to lidocaine is rare, accounting for only about 1% of reported adverse reactions. Symptoms can include skin rashes, swelling  and in severe cases, anaphylactic shock. 

In case of allergy to any of the products/ingredients used during tattoo session, inform me about it prior to the session.
