Tattoo-Associated Viral Infections: A Review

Philip R. Cohen

Summary: Tattoo-associated viral infections can be localized to the tattoo ink and are caused by viral pathogens such as HSV, HPV, and molluscum contagiosum. HPV and molluscum contagiosum are the most frequently reported tattoo-associated viral lesions, often occurring in black or dark ink areas, potentially due to virus-contaminated instruments or pigment during tattoo inoculation. Blood borne viral pathogens like hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV can also be transmitted during tattoo acquisition, prompting the adoption of health care interventions for prevention.
