Background and Objectives Occurring accidentally, traumatic tattoos result from the forceful embedding of foreign bodies, such as graphite, asphalt, petroleum products, sand, metals, glass, gunpowder, or dust, into the skin. Laser therapy is the first-line treatment for the removal of traumatic tattoos. The aim of this case series was to analyze the clinical efficacy and safety of treating traumatic tattoos of various causes with a picosecond-domain, 1,064-nm neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) laser.
