Kazandjieva & Tsankov (4) estimated the prevalence of complications in their series of 234 tattooed patients as 2.1%. A recent national survey of 3411 individuals in Germany (3) found that 6% mentioned persistent skin problems in the tattooed area. In both cases no further details of the types of complications were provided.
