Abstract
Localized type-IV allergies to tattoo dyes are quite common. p-Phenylenediamine, which is used as a black pigment in temporary henna tattoos, is a particularly potent allergen.

We describe the case of a 54-year-old female patient who had such a reaction pattern after a tattoo owing to a previously unknown sensitization to potassium dichromate.
