    AbstractTattoos are more and more frequent and their surface is increasing. They are also becoming more and more colorful. Complications are frequent and induce a wide variety of clinical and histological pictures. The inks, the composition of which is not always known, contain many pigments which degradation products can lead to chronic allergies. The long-term effects of the presence of carcinogenic products and nanoparticles justify the carrying out of prospective studies. The public should be made aware of these complications and of the difficulties of tattoo removal.© 2020 l'Académie nationale de médecine. Published by Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
