    Area of Science:

    • Medical procedures
    • Dermatology
    • Radiation oncology

    Background:

    • India ink tattoos are utilized for precise radiation therapy field localization.
    • Reproducible patient positioning is critical for effective radiation treatment delivery.

    Observation:

    • A case study involving a facial tattoo applied through injection is presented.
    • The patient developed permanent periorbital discoloration, commonly referred to as "black eyes."

    Findings:

    • Facial tattoos administered via injection can lead to unexpected and permanent cosmetic complications.
    • This specific complication has not been previously documented in relation to tattoo injection techniques.

    Implications:

    • Clinicians should exercise caution when using injection-based tattoo methods for cosmetic or medical marking.
