Soot tattoo
Skin marking caused by needle injection
Soot tattoos are carbon stains made by inserting soot into the dermis layer of the skin via a drug injection. A drug user may try to sterilize the tip of a needle with a flame, leaving a small amount of soot on the outside of the needle.[1] An injection can carry this residual carbon into the skin, leaving a mark known as a soot tattoo.[2]
Soot tattoos are an accidental cutaneous condition. This is distinct from the intentional practice of a tattoo artist creating a tattoo with a design in the skin using soot as a pigment in tattoo ink.
