Using X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, X-ray absorption spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy, the chemical composition of inks was analyzed in a cohort of patients with cutaneous hypersensitivity reactions to tattoo. Known inorganic allergenic metals (titanium, chromium, manganese, nickel and copper) were identified in almost all cases as well as azo pigments, quinacridone, carbon black and phthalocyanine.
