ABSTRACT
We report the case of a granulomatous tissue reaction which occurred at the site of a previous eyebrow and lip makeup tattoing in a 36 years old female patient. The lesions disappeared after the injection of intralesional steroid. We also review the dermatological complications of tattoos, the inks involved and the available treatments.
