Tattooing

01/01/1989 - "A study of skin suture following elliptical excision of tattoos from the upper limb shows that when the dermis is supported by a subcuticular non-absorbable suture for 6 months there is (a) a highly significant and numerically considerable (37.5%) reduction of scar stretching over that following conventional interrupted skin suture and (b) a significant reduction of scar width (15.7%) when compared with the same material used as a subcuticular suture for 3 weeks.

12/01/2017 - "The patient's hypersensitivity reaction and its spontaneous remission after removal of the implants indicate that Ti, possibly along with some of the other metals detected, could have played a major role in this particular case of tattoo-related allergy."
07/31/2023 - "The hypersensitivity reaction associated with tattoo ink and its management represent a growing challenge, despite having precedents in diagnostic and treatment experience in other reports or case series in recent decades, no one has been found homogeneous offer that is effective and safe. "
