Abstract
Background: There is little, if any, literature regarding placing and reading of patch-tests on tattooed skin. Method: A patient whose entire back was covered with multiple tattoos was patch-tested. Results: Multiple positive patch-tests were seen with no apparent reduction in intensity related to tattooed skin. Conclusion: If necessary, patch-tests can be placed and read on tattooed skin
