ObjectiveTo design a micro-incision operation for treating traumatic tattoo.MethodsWith an 11-gauge blade, a micro-incision was made on each side of the small tattoo spot and the tattoo skin was removed. For a longer tattoo particle, a longer incision was needed. The skin incision was sutured with 6-0 silk. For a complex tattoo, dermabrasion could be used first to remove the superficial one so as to expose the deep one which was removed in the same way as mentioned above. When there was a large number of tattoo particles, many operations were needed.ResultsFourteen patients were treated by this method with good to excellent result.ConclusionMicro-incision for treating traumatic tattoo is an effective method.
