[Risks of black henna tattoos].

Temporary henna tattoos have become increasingly popular in the last few years, because of their apparent harmlessness and disappearance in few weeks. Black henna contains paraphenylenediamine (PPD), a synthetic colorant which is used in hair dyes and can cause sensitization. Many cases of allergic contact dermatitis occurring after tattooing have been reported, especially in children and teenagers during the summer time, since there are many tattoo-painters at holiday places and the parents are unaware of the risks of these tattoos. Clinicians, particularly pediatricians, primary care physici…

Cutaneous reactions to temporary tattoos.

While allergic reactions to henna painting are extremely rare, we have witnessed an increasing number of reports of cutaneous reactions after henna tattooing, also called temporary tattooing. The reason for this lies in the contemporary composition of the paint, which contains paraphenylenediamine (PPD). We present six patients who developed allergic contact dermatitis after skin painting with "black henna", and who showed hypersensitivity to PPD. We discuss the issue of the short sensitization period of our patients and the reported ones.

Behind the Ink: Unmasking Asymptomatic Micro-perforations Following Endoscopic Tattooing.

We present a case of a 49-year-old male who underwent a colonoscopy for a workup of anemia, revealing a malignant-appearing mass in the ascending colon. The lesion was tattooed for further assessment. A follow-up CT scan for evaluation of metastatic disease incidentally demonstrated acute …

[Nipple and areola reconstruction by tattooing, "F" and "Z" flaps].

Nipple and areola reconstruction is very important in the evaluation of the quality of breast reconstruction. It can be done during the primary or secondary breast reconstruction or later. We have performed the techniques of nipple reconstruction routinely since 1992. Under local anesthesia during a second operative time or general anesthesia during breast reconstruction, the local "F" and "Z" skin flaps and tattooing grant a quality result in the wound and the long-term projection. They are easily reproduced, rapid and as there is no graft the choice of the incisions grants a good tolerance. …
