Abstract

A granulomatous reaction developed in the red part of a professionally executed tattoo. The reaction appeared a few weeks after tattooing. A patch test for mercuric bichloride proved negative. The localization to the red part of the tattoo implies a specific reaction to an unknown antigen, and that the reaction may denote a localized delayed hypersensitivity.
