Abstract
Dermatography is the application of tattooing techniques in medicine. In the past, several techniques were tried but none led to reproducibl e results. Dermatography has been improved over the last ten years, pr oviding techniques which are both generally applicable and reproducibl e. It is a suitable treatment modality for permanently camouflaging di sturbing discolorations and scars. This paper covers technical and med ical aspects of dermatography, as well the indications.
