Summary Background Tattoo reactions, especially in red tattoos, are often suggested as allergic nature, however, systematic evaluation by patch testing has not performed the past. Objective To report results of 90 patients with non‐infectious chronic tattoo reactions. Materials/methods From 2009 to 2013 at ‘Tattoo Clinic’, Department Dermatology, Bispebjerg University Hospital, were tested batteries baseline allergens, disperse dyes/textile and a selection ink stock products, which,...
Tattooing is a global trend. Clinical knowledge of complications based on case reports collected over century. Larger cohorts reflecting associated with contemporary trends are lacking.The study was retrospective review consecutive cohort patients tattoo diagnosed in the "Tattoo Clinic" Bispebjerg University Hospital Copenhagen, Denmark, from 2008 to 2015, patient history and systematic clinical examination.A total 493 405 were studied. Overall, 184 (37%) presented allergic reactions plaque...
Abstract Objectives To find the prevalence of complaints in people having tattoos, with emphasis on chronic complaints, photosensitivity and photodynamic events. Methods Individuals sunbathing from J une to S eptember 2011 at beaches D enmark were invited participate as they are prone report tattoos sun habits reliably. Sun‐related non‐sun‐related problems determined along participants' use sunscreen. Skin type was categorized, motifs colours associated problems. Results Of 467 sunbathers,...
Sarcoidosis is, from historical data, suggested to be more prevalent among patients with tattoo reactions. We aimed evaluate this association in a systematic study.This is consecutive study of complications, diagnosed the "Tattoo Clinic" at Bispebjerg University Hospital Copenhagen, Denmark, 2008 2015, based on clinical assessment and histology. From overall group 494 complications 406 patients, 92 reactions 72 showed papulo-nodular pattern studied for local systemic sarcoidosis, since...
Abstract Background Red tattoos are prone to allergic reactions. The identity of the allergen(s) is mostly unknown. Objectives Chemical analysis human skin biopsies from chronic reactions in red identify culprit pigment(s) and metals. Material methods One hundred four dermatome were analyzed by matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization tandem mass spectrometry (MALDI‐MS/MS) for identification commonly used organic pigments. Metal concentrations assessed inductively coupled plasma (ICP)‐MS...
Abstract Background The prevalence of mild adverse reactions, i.e. complaints, in tattoos is sparsely described. Objective demography a young population representing an index the recent trend was studied. complaints related to tattoos, and by number, size, localization colour were registered. Methods data collected through personal interviews examinations consecutive individuals who spontaneously attended clinic venereology. Results Of 154 participants with 342 27% reported tattoo beyond 3...

Genital swab and first-void urine submitted for were tested day receipt. Remnants positive original as well DNA preparations stored at −20°C up to 18 months. A total 361 -positive available. PCR after repeat preparation was 262 specimens. The sensitivity...
Aim The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility Raman spectroscopy as a screening technique for chemical characterisation tattoo pigments in pathologic reacting tattoos and ink stock products depict unsafe metabolites pigments. Materials/Methods Twelve dermatome shave biopsies from allergic reactions red were analysed with (A 785‐nm 300 mW diode laser). These referenced samples 10 different standard products, three these identified culprit inks used by tattooist thus history source...
Tattooist-related technical failures of tattooing were hitherto unstudied and related to clinical complications. Tattooing requires talent, training experience. Amateurism is a challenge in popular tattoo industry with no formal education certification the tattooists.To study causing disease consecutive hospital material complications.574 patients 702 complications referred "Tattoo Clinic" (a subspecialised dermatological clinic) enrolled. Patients examined clinically classified respect...

The aim of this study was to assess tattoo by 20‐ MH z ultrasonography referenced histopathology as a comparative method. Materials Methods A total 73 individuals with clinical in their tattoos were studied. Punch biopsies for reference histology available from 58 patients. Dermascan C ® Cortex Technology, Denmark, employed. Total skin thickness echo density the echolucent band...
Abstract Background Caustic products are used as affordable alternatives to laser removal of tattoos. Objective Describe a series patients with sequels after tattoo by caustic products. Methods 11 complications referred from 2013 2017 were studied. findings, sequels, corrective treatments, cost and psychological aspects obtained. Numeric Rating Scale (NRS, score 10 extremely dissatisfied) was describe patient satisfaction tattoos before removal. Results Scarring residual pigments detected in...
Abstract Aim To clarify the rate of non‐attendance (NA) in an out‐patient clinic. Methods Attendance lists 3592 patients were collected daily from 21 July–21 August and October–21 November, 2009. NA contacted to determine extenuations. study relation diagnosis age, a control group who attended before or after was established. Furthermore, two time periods 8:00–11:30 am 11:30 –3:00 pm compared. Results In total, 13% gave no cancellation (54.2% females 45.8% males). Divided into age groups,...
Tattoo removal by Q-switched yttrium aluminium garnet (YAG) lasers is golden standard; however, clients' satisfaction with treatment little known.To determine tattoo removal.One hundred and fifty-four clients who had attended the private clinic 'Centre for Laser Surgery', Hellerup, Denmark, from 2001 to 2013 completed a questionnaire concerning outcome expectations, level of pain experiences removal. The laser surgeon his team were blinded data handling. study design included minimum 2-year...
Abstract Background Black tattoo reactions are suggested to be foreign body manifested as papulo‐nodular inflammation that is associated with active sarcoidosis. Aim To study the morphology of black and red pigment agglomerates in skin biopsies from reactions, referenced clinical diagnoses. Method Agglomerate count, area, width, height, circumference circularity were measured 161 patients by light microscopy (Olympus BX51™); unstained 64 97 tattoos allergy. Images (Jenoptic Gryphax RGB...
Tattoo ink stock products often contain potential carcinogens, which on large-scale population exposure may be clinically relevant. The aim of this autopsy study in mice was to screen major organs for clinical and subclinical cancers.Mice were tattooed their backs. In total, 48 included divided into 4 groups; 11 black, 10 red, 5 serving as untreated controls. A group 22 with black tattoos exposed ultraviolet radiation (UVR) also studied. red inks both banned the Danish market due measured...
Studies of satisfaction with tattoo removal outcomes by laser, rated clients themselves, including qualitative aspects, are sparse. We studied long-term results and client Q-switched YAG laser. Client is influenced numerous factors: pretreatment expectations, objective observations, information, laser treatment procedures, outcome, subjective experiences such as pain.
