Abstrakt:	Cosmetic tattooing of eyebrow and lips has become very popular and is expected to be paralleled by more frequent complications. We present 4 cases of granulomas in cosmetic tattoos complicated by regional or systemic manifestations of sarcoidosis including affection of the lungs in 2 cases, the activity triggered by the tattoo. Three cases of traditional decorative tattoos on extremities serve as reference. It is noteworthy that cosmetic tattoos despite small size and thereby low relative dose of pigment injected in the skin can trigger fully developed systemic sarcoidosis. It is hypothesized that iron oxide pigments popular in cosmetic tattoo inks of red or brown color may be prone to elicit sarcoid reactions and thus carry a special risk of granuloma. In decorative tattoos, carbon black is the commonest trigger. It is emphasized that the finding of granulomas in tattoos shall be followed by search of other manifestations of sarcoidosis through patient history and diagnostic examinations to exclude pulmonary, ocular, and other organ manifestations. Patients with granulomas in tattoos shall be informed that active sarcoidosis, if not already present, can become manifest later with a latency of months or years and often with abrupt debut when the triggering tattoo may be overlooked by the doctor who is unfamiliar with this less common type of sarcoidosis.
