Complaints such as swelling, itching, stinging, pain and redness are common, predominantly in black and red tattoos, but also frequent in blue tattoos, thus, not confined to one specific colour or chemical entity or class of pigment. Symptoms may switch on and off in seconds, typically not of the weal-and-flare type. Photochemical reactions to pigment or pigment-breakdown products in situ in the skin with induction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is presumed to be one causative mechanism. Another possible mechanism especially relevant in black may be induction of ROS due to effects of aggregation of carbon black nanoparticles.

<p>Tattooing remains a common custom in various countries and cultures. Tattooing has been practiced in India since ancient era. It has tremendous religious and spiritual significance. In addition, tattooing for cosmetic purposes has become quite popular in recent times. With this increasing trend, there is also an increased risk of adverse effects. A tattoo is the deposition of exogenous pigment in to the dermis. Decorative tattoos are more common. Cutaneous reactions to tattoos are uncommonly reported in literature. We report an uncommon occurrence of tattoo inoculated cutaneous tuberculosis presenting as lupus vulgaris in young adult who responded to standard antitubercular therapy.</p>
