Tattooing can result in a wide variety of complications, whose prevalence and incidence remain still unclear. Hypersensitivity reactions (or allergies) to tattoo pigments are currently the most common complication on a tattoo, however they are not predictable.

Infections are nowadays directly related to the lack of asepsis and hygiene during the tattooing procedure or during the healing phase.

Patients with a known cutaneous disease should be warned of a potential risk of localization of their disease to the tattoo.

A skin eruption restricted to a tattoo may reveal sarcoidosis.

Patients with chronic conditions and/or impaired immunity should discuss with their physician about the possibility and when to have a tattoo.
