“…Intralesional injections of CS were also efficient and should be considered an alternative to creams and ointments. Topical tacrolimus was suggested as an alternative [38,39] to some of our patients when CS treatment failed, but it was never used. Some patients opted for surgical excision either immediately or after other treatments had failed.…”

nodules to complete infiltration of a colour. Lesions were itchy and sometimes painful. The reactions were lichenoid, granulomatous, pseudolymphomatous or less specific with a dermal lympho-histiocytic or plasmocytic infiltrate. Other diagnoses included tattoo blow-out (13%), melanoma within a tattoo, naevi within a tattoo (10% each), lichen planus (6%), granulomatous reaction with uveitis, sarcoidosis and dermatofibroma (3% each). Allergic tattoo reactions were mainly treated with local corticosteroid (CS) ointments, CS infiltration or surgical removal. Conclusion: This review is the largest series of tattoo complications in the Baltic area. It illustrates the wide spectrum of complications. Prospective, controlled therapeutic studies are necessary to assess the best treatment protocols for tattoo allergies and tattoo reaction management in general.

“…In these cases, the culprit tattoo ink pigment deposited in the superficial dermis can be removed by surgery, including dermatome shaving. Topical tacrolimus has also been used successfully to treat a lichenoid tattoo reaction 23 and etanercept to treat a granulomatous reaction. 24 Current research in tattoo removal is focused on faster lasers and more effective targeting of tattoo pigment particles, including picosecond laser devices, 25 multi-pass treatments, picosecond laser devices, 26 application of imiquimod, 27 and the use of microencapsulated tattoo ink.…”
