[Cutaneous infections related to permanent tattooing].
Med Mal Infect. 2011 Mar; 41(3):115-22.MM

Abstract

Decorative tattooing is made by introducing exogenous pigments and/or dyes into the dermis to permanently mark the body for decorative or other reasons. Unfortunately, this procedure is not harmless and various complications may occur including the potential inoculation of virulent microorganisms in the dermis. Cutaneous infections usually develop within days to weeks after the procedure and may include: pyogenic infections (staphylococcus, streptococcus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, etc.), but also atypical bacteria (commensal mycobacteria, tuberculosis, leprosy, etc.), viral infections (molluscum contagiosum, verruca vulgaris, herpes, etc.), and also fungal and parasitic infections. This review focuses on dermatological infections occurring on tattoos and their management.
