Complications of tattooing include infection, hypersensitivity reaction and scarring. Hypersensitivity reaction is most common. Components of the red pigments used in some tattoos are the most commonly known cause of delayed tattoo reactions. A 22-year-old woman presented with 3∼4 mm sized, well-defined indurated scaly plaques confined to red portion of rose tattoo on the dorsal surface of the left foot. She complained of mild pain and severe pruritus on the lesion. Histopathologic examination showed granulomatous reactions from a permanent red tattoo. The patient was transferred to the plastic surgery for surgical intervention. We document an unusual tattoo reaction presenting as plaques from red portion of tattoo, which on histopathologic examination showed granulomatous reaction. (Korean J Dermatol 2008;46(3):408∼410)
