Sažetak
It is estimated that 15-25% of general population has one or more tattoos and the reason for this popularity could be greater social acceptance, aesthetic appeal or perhaps the possibility of laser removal techniques of unwanted tattoos. Even though modern professional tattoos are usually performed in sterile and safe conditions, complications still occur, and with more people getting tattoos, the number of tattoo-associated side effects presenting to dermatologists, which may be as high as 2%, is likely to increase. These complications may be divided into immunological, inflammatory, infectious, and neoplastic reactions. Herein we present a case of a 43-year-old patient with multiple HPV-associated flat warts (verrucae planae) confined to his 15-year-old tattoo. This report is a reminder of one of the rare tattoo- associated complications that can still occur despite advanced, sterile tattooing techniques and years after the making of a tattoo. Only a few cases of verrucae confined only to an area of a tattoo have been described so far.
