“…A stay suture was taken in the mucosa by means of 4-0 vicryl sutures, and the India ink has been previously used in tattooing colonic tumors aiding in future identification of resection sites during colonoscopy [3][4][5]. Also, it is used in the esophagus of patients with Barrett's esophagus for marking the proximal squamocolumner junction [6]. Various India ink preparations were used whether unsterilized, autoclaved, or gas sterilized, as well as from undiluted to 1:100 (with 0.9% saline) [5].…”

Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of tattooing of the bladder urothelium using different stains. Methods:The study was performed on 20 healthy male and female dogs, which were divided into 4 groups according to the injected material. The first group (4 animals) was injected with hydrated iron (II) sulphate. The second group (4 animals) was injected with methylene blue added to hydrated iron (II) sulphate. The third group (8 animals) was injected with India ink, and the fourth group (4 animals) was injected with methylene blue. The procedure was performed under general anesthesia. The doses as well as the injection technique were standardized. Re-exploration with sacrifice of the dogs was performed after 40 days. The bladder was examined grossly for dye retention. Bladder, spleen, and liver specimens were sent for histopathological examination. results: Tattooing was performed successfully without any immediate reaction. Postoperative complications occurred in a single case in the form of vesicocutaneous fistula. At re-exploration, the dye was retained in both the first and second groups, and there was no difference in color intensity. Methylene blue increased the local inflammatory changes. The third and the fourth groups failed to retain the dye. Local reaction at the site of injection, as well as in the bladder, was present in all cases, being most severe in the third group. In cases of the first, second, and third groups the inflammatory reaction involved the liver with hepatic degeneration up to cirrhotic changes. Histopathological examination showed the presence of ferrous particles in the submucosa as well in the detrusor muscles. The presence of ferrous particles was also detected in the spleen. conclusion: In our study, tattooing the bladder urothelium was successful. Despite the side effects of the used materials, tattooing remains feasible; however, the type of material, dose titration, and long follow-up are needed to detect the most suitable material.cItAtION: UroToday Int J. 2013 April;6(2):art 26. http://dx.

“…If the GEJ and the squamocolumnar junction coincided, this was noted and the squamocolumnar junction was used as a marker for the GEJ. If the GEJ and the squamocolumnar junction were located at different levels, the location of the GEJ was marked by using intramucosal tattooing with India ink [10].…”

“…In a prospective study, 19 patients with Barrett's esophagus had India ink tattoos placed at the most proximal level of the squamocolumnar junction. 16 Of the 15 patients who remained in the study, all had good tattoo persistence at 36 months. No complications related to esophageal tattooing were reported.…”

The American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) Technology Committee provides reviews of existing, new, or emerging endoscopic technologies that have an impact on the practice of GI endoscopy. Evidence-based methodology is used, with a MEDLINE literature search to identify pertinent clinical studies on the topic and a MAUDE (U.S. Food and Drug Administration Center for Devices and Radiological Health) database search to identify the reported complications of a given technology. Both are supplemented by accessing the "related articles" feature of PubMed and by scrutinizing pertinent references cited by the identified studies. Controlled clinical trials are emphasized, but in many cases, data from randomized, controlled trials are lacking. In such cases, large case series, preliminary clinical studies, and expert opinions are used. Technical data are gathered from traditional and Web-based publications, proprietary publications, and informal communications with pertinent vendors. Technology Status Evaluation Reports are drafted by 1 or 2 members of the ASGE Technology Committee, reviewed and edited by the committee as a whole, and approved by the Governing Board of the ASGE. When financial guidance is indicated, the most recent coding data and list prices at the time of publication are provided. For this review, the MEDLINE database was searched through January 2010 for articles related to endoscopic tattooing by using the Keywords tattooing, colonic, endoscopic, India ink, indocyanine green in different search term combinations. Technology Status Evaluation Reports are scientific reviews provided solely for educational and informational purposes. Technology Status Evaluation Reports are not rules and should not be construed as establishing a legal standard of care or as encouraging, advocating, requiring, or discouraging any particular treatment or payment for such treatment.
