In addition to black (blue) tatoo mercury (red), chromium (green), cadmium (yellow) and cobalt (blue) and many others pigments are used.

Clinical signs

  • sometimes foreign body granulomas develop, in artificial tatoo allergic reactions

Histology

Color pigments are deposited within the macrophages or as free tissue deposits.

Carbon does not usually cause any tissue reaction. Granules of carbon are black and cannot be bleached by peroxide (as opposed to melanin).
