Article Synopsis
- Recent cases have linked non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infections to tattooing, particularly affecting healthy individuals within 6 months post-tattoo.
- Common NTM species involved include Mycobacterium Chelonae, and infections often stem from contaminated tattoo equipment or water used in the process, with lesions typically appearing in the gray areas of tattoos.
- Treatment generally involves long courses of antibiotics, highlighting the importance of enforcing stricter hygiene standards in tattoo practices to prevent these infections.
