ABSTRACT

The application of tattoos, although it is a common and relatively innocuous practice, it is not exempt from complications. The complications by tattoo can be acute or chronic. They include infections, allergy, scarring, pigment migration, local granulomatous reactions and systemic inflammatory processes. The complications by tattoo are not predictable, in many cases are related to the components of the pigment and the response of the host’s immune system. This article presents the case of a female patient with a history of cosmetic tattoo application on eyebrows and lips 15 years ago, who presented as a chronic complication a disseminated granulomatous reaction.
