No, you should not apply regular stamp ink to a baby's feet. Baby skin is extremely thin, sensitive, and prone to irritation or absorption of chemicals, so standard stamp inks (with dyes, pigments, solvents like alcohols/glycols, or resins) can cause issues like rashes, dryness, or allergic reactions.

Common Ingredients
Colorant (2–8% or so by weight): This provides the color. It can be:Dyes (soluble, often used in traditional stamp pad inks for bright, quick-drying results).
Pigments (insoluble particles, like organic or inorganic types, quinacridone, azo pigments, titanium dioxide, iron oxides for more permanent or opaque results)
Solvent/Vehicle (main bulk, often 50–80% ): Keeps the ink fluid and helps it transfer.
Water glycerol (glycerin): Classic for traditional stamp pad inks. Glycerol acts as a humectant—it prevents the ink from drying out on the pad but allows it to dry on

Alcohol-based solvents (e.g., ethanol, isopropanol, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, benzyl alcohol) for faster-drying or self-inking Other options include oils or specialty solvents in some industrial formulas.
Binders/Resins (1–5%): Help the ink adhere and stay intact.
Examples: Polyvinyl butyral, acrylic, alkyd, or polyurethane

Additives (small amounts): Wetting agents, dispersants, defoamers, preservatives, or pH modifiers to improve flow, stability, and shelf
