Tattoos may be classifi ed as decorative, cosmetic, traumatic, medical, and iatrogenic Decorative tattoos are most common and may be further
subdivided into professional and amateur. This is an important distinction, as the former are typically placed deeper in the dermis, have a
larger quantity of ink, and have more variable composition of inks compared to the latter. Such differences result in greater diffi - culty of
tattoo removal and, frequently, incomplete eradication of some colors,. Decorative tattoos may incorporate both inorganic and organic compounds.
Inorganic pigments may be composed of such elements as cadmium, chromium, mercury, iron, titanium, aluminum, silica, copper, chlorine, bromine,
sulfur, carbon, and magnesium The number of organic materials used in tattoos is even higher, with most classifi ed as either azo or non-azo,
or polycyclic, compounds. There is also evidence that some pigments or their decomposition products may be toxic or carcinogenic Cosmetic and
reconstructive tattoos are typically placed to improve or create the appearance of normal anatomical structures. Various scenarios may include
thinning eyebrows, eyelashes, and vermilion border of the lips, recreation of areola following mastectomy, or camoufl age of scars. Cosmetic
tattoos, also known as permanent make-up, may also consist of multiple colors and, hence, chemical compounds The presence of ferric oxide or
titanium dioxide is of particular importance in the treatment of such tattoos.
