Refutations Confronting the Lies
1) Objections (refutation) to the Wikipedia Authors of Body Piercing Material
The section on Stainless Steels in the Wikipedia article Body Piercing Materials should be removed because it falsely claims that ASTM F138-316L (a/k/a as 316LVM) is the standard initial body piercing material.
References to support the criticisms made include
1) scholarly literature on stainless steels will show that factory grade 316L is a surgical stainless steel deemed safe for implanting in the body;
2) biomaterials publications show that factory grade 316L used in the application of body piercing is biocompatible, safe for human implant use;
3) the largest standard setting organization, ASTM, describes their standard F-138 316L as meeting all necessary qualities to be used as a safe metal for surgical implants;
4)  Unimax Supply Co Inc, as one of the oldest and largest suppliers to the body piercing trade in the USA has been maintaining that 316LVM F138 is rarely used compared to the millions of pieces of 316L showing 316L is the standard in the body piercing industry in the USA.
5) The World Trade Organization (WTO) principles for determining rational voluntary standards when applied to the replacing of 316L with F138 316LVM shows it cannot be justified.
6) the errors and unsubstantiated statements will be exposed that will show there is not a single support for replacing 316L with F138316L.

The views expressed in the Wikipedia article have no merit.

He also created an easily-removable ink, "InfinitInk" which Unimax tied to sell but there was no interest from tattooists.
