This is interesting, I never made the tattoo connection. I wonder how people who have almost their entire body covered are affected. But black means that everything is being absorbed, the problem is if it prevents light from passing through. Something about melanin allows red light to pass.I had a former co-worker with a mutlicolor tattoo, and she happened to mention one day that the yellow part ALWAYS got sunburned when she went to the beach. I told her that actually makes sense, as certain color inks would absorb the opposite light, so the yellow part of her tat was likely absorbing more UV than other parts.

Good reason to exclude oranges. According to Cron-o-meter, one cup of fresh orange juice provides 80 mcg of b-carotene, this means that [. . . Brewing provitamin A content of foods . . .] various vegetables and fruits are out of question, but maybe also some dairy products such as cheeses and ice creams, however you can source these from animals that weren't fed grass.I'm starting to swap out those beta carotene foods (like orange juice)
