Abstract

Background: The aim of this work is to answer the question if a body tattoo can influence thermographic examination and if the results for a new and old tattoo are different. This work is also a continuation of an earlier study devoted to this problem.
Methods: The study was conducted on one volunteer with a tattoo made in a professional tattoo parlour, on the upper part of his chest 16 months and 28 months after making a tattoo. To record a skin temperature distribution, an infrared camera was used.
Results: It is shown that a tattoo may have an influence on a local skin temperature distribution. The main applicable conclusion is that during any kind of thermographic examination, the examiner should expect that the tattoo can locally change temperature readings.
