The prevalence of tattoos is estimated at 10-30% in Western countries, and it is increasing. This procedure is associated with potential complications such as pruritus, swelling, photosensitivity, infections, Koebner phenomenon, and allergy . These complications are most often transient and easily treatable. Patients with chronic dermatosis such as psoriasis may want to get tattooed. This article is protected by copyright.
