Allergic reactions to tattoo pigments, particularly red ink, are a known complication of tattooing. This paper reports the case of a 21-year-old female with a refractory allergic reaction to red tattoo ink on her shoulder, presenting with swelling, itching, and erythema. She was treated with a picosecond neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet laser combined with a fractional carbon dioxide (CO2) laser and corticosteroid intralesional injections. Significant improvement was observed after four treatment sessions, and complete resolution of the tattoo and symptoms was achieved after ten sessions. This case highlights the potential of combining picosecond and fractional CO2 lasers with corticosteroid therapy in managing refractory tattoo allergies, suggesting further studies to assess the broader efficacy of this treatment approach.
Abstract
Allergic reactions to tattoo pigments, particularly red ink, are a known complication of tattooing.

She was treated with a picosecond neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet laser combined with a fractional carbon dioxide (CO2) laser and corticosteroid intralesional injections. Significant improvement was observed after four treatment sessions, and complete resolution of the tattoo and symptoms was achieved after ten sessions. This case highlights the potential of combining picosecond and fractional CO2 lasers with corticosteroid therapy in managing refractory tattoo allergies, suggesting further studies to assess the broader efficacy of this treatment approach.
