Red Rose Flower Temporary Tattoo

Red Rose Flower Temporary Tattoo

Tattoo ink is remarkably nonreactive histologically, despite the frequent use of different pigments of unknown purity and identity by... tattoo artists. Amateur tattoo inks consist of simple, carbon particles originating from burnt wood, cotton, plastic, or paper, or from a variety of inks, including India ink, pen ink, and vegetable matter. Although it rarely occurs, red (mercury), yellow (cadmium), green (chromium), and blue (cobalt) tattoo pigments have elicited a persistent, localized allergic or photoallergic dermatitis and, more infrequently, systemic reactions. Interestingly, the colors most commonly involved in allergic reactions (red and yellow) often spontaneously disappear from a tattoo without clinical signs of a reaction.
