Allergic reaction to a green tattoo with nickel as a possible allergen

A 40‐year‐old woman visited the allergology department because of a 10‐year‐old tattoo on her right lower leg itching for 4 years, specifically, in the green part. The other tattoo areas, red and black, were asymptomatic. There were no triggering factors, and she had no further relevant medical history. On physical examination, we observed excoriations on the lower right leg, mainly in the green tattooed area (Figure 1).
