A case of acute dermatitis in green tattoos was reported in a 28-year-old Korean man. He was tattooed on the right half of ventral chest, shoulder and arm with black, red, orange, brown and green dyes of unknown composition. All tattoos were said to be followed at once by edma and inflammation, which subsided within three days. At the sites of green tattoos, however, acute painful inflammation occurred again a week later. On his first visit to the hospital, extensive erythematovesiculoedematous lesions, partly crusted or eroded, were seen at the entire green tattoos. Biopsy disclosed a typical pattern of acute dermatitis, and a large number of greenish granules scattered throughout the dermis. Emission spectrophotometric analysis of the lesion showed a significant amount of titanium and mercury, and a trace amount of aluminium and boron, while that of the apparently normal skin showed none of these elements. In addition, histochemical studies revealed that the greenish granules contained mercury and titanium. Staining procudures for mercury were carried out with diphenylthiocarbazide method, dithizone method and p-dimethylaminobenzylidene rhodanine method. A new staining technique for titanium was divised and successfully performed with a mixture of chromotropic acid and ascorbic acid in formate buffer.

No literatures have been found that either mercury or titanium was used in green tattoos.
