Can’t directly weigh in, but what I am aware of is that nanoparticles of TiO2 interacts with UV absorbers in sun screen to accelerate the breakdown of aromatic sunscreens into toxic substances, from doing research for a paper on that topic.
So, it is possible that TiO2 might interact with the other components of the ink.

Reply to Compare Public Transport Network Connectivity In 10 European Countries [OC] by TravelTime_LKB
Yes, but as a Swiss, there is a stark difference in availability. In villages that only have a bus as public transport, it can go from every 10-20 minutes to every 2 hours real quick. A few more remote villages only a bus 2-4 times a day during school holidays.
