Abstract

|
In general social opinions of developed cultural state, tattoos induced psychological and social problems. Since Hellenic times, the removal of unwanted tattoos has been a challenge: for example, salabrasion, dermabrasion, LASER surgery, skin graft and cryosugery, etc. But the availability of manay methods for the removal of tattoos appears to indicate that there is no one absolute method.
So we studied macroscopical color changes and microscopical histological changes in tattooed rabbits and rats, and overtattooed rabbits and rats.
The results were as following:
1. Inflammatory reactions was nearly almost disapperared within 3 weeks.
2. The major fade―out of tattooed color was occurred from post―tattooing 5 days to 3 weeks.
3. Dye particle was located mainly in upper & mid dermis and it was not relafted with tattooing depth.
4. Masking effect of black colored tattoos was definitely improved in the overtattooing group. But complete masking was impossible.
