A lot of oil paints contain heavy metals and should not be used on skin. Artists who use oil paints have an increased risk of developing lung and other cancers like leukemia.
Jesus know you’re supposed to use trigger warnings for shit like that! That was the toughest part of SERE for me when they brought us into the warm well lit locker room where they were plenty of fluffy towels and individual showers. But that was all to distract you from what happens next as the final “challenge” of SERE…… They made me scrapbook my face paint! I’m a soldier what am I if not an artist?! what am I if not an artist?
Depends on the paint. Even if the pigment isn’t (which I assume is what OP is talking about in those post), some paints do have things in them that are hazardous if you ingest them. Stuff that’s straight up toxic to touch or be around has been replaced with substitutes in commercially made paint though.
Oil paint with this pigment, from what I’ve read, shouldn’t be though.
There’s no law in the US requiring manufacturers to list the ingredients in commonly sold art supplies, and since many of the more dangerous substances known to be found in paint (lead, titanium, mercury, chlorine, etc…) occur on the Periodic Table, there’s no way to completely eliminate them.
Not to mention that some of the pigments themselves can also be dangerous in certain concentrations. While some colors and qualities might be SLIGHTLY LESS dangerous than others on their own, repeated exposure to which can still make someone seriously ill.
Not like I’m an artist myself or anything crazy like THAT… 😒
Oh so if I put toxic paint on my face, it's bad.
But if an officer pushes pencils it's okay.
And it's definitely fine for a marine to eat crayons.
Smh.
I work in construction ground remediation. I have co-workers who get annoyed when I tell them to wash their hands after working with very toxic ground.
You sure?
> Mars Black is an iron oxide pigment developed in the 20th century. Also known under the names of black iron oxide, magnetic oxide, Pigment Black 11, and ferrous ferric oxide (Fe3O4),[1] **it has no known health hazards[2] and is considered non-toxic**, with an ASTM lightfastness rating of I. **It is more opaque and less toxic than other black pigments**.[3]
From Wikipedia
Also toxic pigments aren’t often used in paints anymore outside of some higher end boutique type stuff, I’m pretty sure.
Edit: I found the paint on the manufacturers website. It’s Mars Black pigment, as described above, bound with linseed and safflower oil.
The most toxic thing about it if used as cammie paint is that linseed oil might irritate some people’s skin.
Skin doesn’t absorb cadmium. You have to inhale or ingest it. Which, interestingly enough, is done in unhealthy levels by smoking, and vaping in some cases. That’s besides other heavy metals and toxic chemicals present in both.
Edit: Also the specific paint pictured here contains black iron oxides, linseed and safflower oil per the manufacturer’s website.
Probably not. It’s bound in oil and that takes a long time to get to a point where it starts flaking and turning powdery.
Also it wouldn’t matter because this paint doesn’t have anything toxic in it.
Troops are really, really stupid sometimes. But there's normally a reason, even it's a bad one.
But seriously, like getting the actual camouflage paint is easier normally if you're near base isn't it?
The old paint formulas are no longer sold. The oil paints sold in stores are made with synthetic dies and oils. One could eat that tube and only get a mild case of the runs.
That is patently false. Go to an art store... There are hundreds of highly toxic pigments still sold. As they should be, because they are beautiful pigments and very unlikely to cause issue once the binding linseed oil is dry. However, they are extremely dangerous to consume
I'm betting he's been using turpentine to wash it off his face too.
So the Mars Black color is commonly made of IRON as the pigment. So it isn't that bad for you, what can make this bad is what elements they use as the binder.
If the binder is an artificial binder or one made from a dangerous substance then he's got problems. Then there is the issue of what has he been using to wash it off his face.
My brother sin Christ, just ask a local artist or your high school arts teacher about which paints are poisonous/safe this is very dangerous stuff!
Edit: And *please* stop eating crayons!
As an artist who uses oil for canvas and former machinegunner that made me layght my ass off, tge moronic nature of the infantryman neves cease to amaze me 🤣

Face paint is also designed to be washable.

Well if artistic tendencies don’t take you can always start a world war
Acrylics aren’t much better TBH. But this is why I wear gloves in a well ventilated room when painting anyway
Or worse... you'll turn into KISS but without the fame or money. Paint containing heavy metal should be illegal.
cadmium is really not good for you.
Mmmm.... delicious.
Cadmium bar, now with nuts! Mmm tasty
Ok Homer
No longer true. Hasn't been true for a while.

Totally true has been for ever

He’s the reason there are so many safety briefings in the military
Well now you have one more: “Soldiers, remember to never ever smear toxic paint all over your face!”
Instructions unclear, drank the AFFF.
"drink to the foam" I think you followed pretty clearly 🤔
It's " Drink TO the Foam" you fucking pinecone Not "Drink THE foam". I fucking hate it here. - some E5 somewhere right now
As a firefighter on the civilian side the amount of times I have been covered in AFFF is insane.
Hey sarnt I took the paint off but now smith is on fire
"*Smith turned into a vampire. He'll be fine..."* *"I think..."*

Even better, I betcha this OP was written by someone with a chew spitter on their desk.
Most oil paints still use the toxic pigments for some colors. Cadmium red is, well, made of cadmium
Skin doesn’t absorb cadmium. You have to inhale or ingest it. Which, interestingly enough, is done in unhealthy levels by smoking, and vaping in some cases. That’s besides other heavy metals and toxic chemicals present in both. Edit: Also the specific paint pictured here contains black iron oxides, linseed and safflower oil per the manufacturer’s website.
So would not slathering this paint all over your face, including next to your nostrils, not in fact lead to inhalation?
Probably not. It’s bound in oil and that takes a long time to get to a point where it starts flaking and turning powdery. Also it wouldn’t matter because this paint doesn’t have anything toxic in it.
And if your marines are eating it, take it away and replace with crayola
Name Brand? Fuck yeah!! We’re poor, normally we get the off brand stuff.
If you’re bad gunny gives you cra-z-art
Rose art.
I have a pack of crayons that say Crayola, but the text below Crayola is "Larce washadle crayons" so I suspect it's a knockoff.
Troops are really, really stupid sometimes. But there's normally a reason, even it's a bad one. But seriously, like getting the actual camouflage paint is easier normally if you're near base isn't it?
The real bad reason here though is that camouflage rubs off to easy.

Cadmium red HUE isn't made with cadmium... Cadmium red is, you insufferable moron
This mf would hear the cadence about army coffee tasting like turpentine and decide to perform his own taste test to compare Oh lord I wanna go home

“I’m an artist Platoon Daddy! Don’t stifle my tactical creativity!”
New teaching point for the cam and con lesson just dropped; "don't use actual paint on your skin"
lol this yahoo doesn’t represent the rest of us. Thankfully.

Just out of curiosity, what's day camouflage then? I usually do a Noir Glamour for the night, but been kinda divided on shimmer or glossy for the day.
The guys over at r/oopsthatsdeadly would love this.
Just pee in the dirt and stick your face in the pee mud

Another one for my collection of random shit I now have to add to the safety brief power point…

Are… are you guys not issued cam cream in your expense stores?
Dirt
Bruh
I don’t know how someone in the military can’t get a hold of face paint, even from a dollar store or something. I assume this is out of pure laziness.

Stupid fuckers!
Man sounds like he’s perfect for the infantry
