I'm sure it does some harm but most likely very minimal considering millions and millions of people have them.

How do you tell if you have ink poison?

It would be highly unlikely if you had ink poisoning, unless your kidneys had failed in which case the victim would have collapsed previously. Ink is not a particularly poisonous substance and although it may technically count as poison because it is unnatural in the body, it is essentially harmless. Tattoos are made by making cuts in the skin and rubbing ink in, so the people who have lots of tattoos would surely be very unhealthy if ink was truly poisonous.
