Former esthetician here. Which is to say, I’ve been paying attention to this issue for a long time.

Tattoos are not risk free.

"Tattoo ink does not remain confined to the skin. Studies show that pigment particles can migrate through the lymphatic system and accumulate in lymph nodes."

Congratulations, Emmanuel, on this online publication showing how #sirolimus treatment can be adapted to patients' needs. Most #patients with #slow-#flow #vascular #malformations benefit to some extent, and many experience significant #symptom reduction even with #intermittent dosing. This is a big step forward in the #multimodal management of vascular malformations. #VASCERN #VASCAPA #CMTC #HEVAS #WELRI #ISSVA #EVDays #deduveinstitute #Leducq #Radiorg #Eurordis #Lymph

Don't give your pet mouse 🐁️ a tattoo. A study by Capucetti et al. in PNAS found the ink lingers in lymph nodes for months and kills immune cells. Effect on vaccines varied; Comirnaty (for COVID) injected into a tattoo was weaker while the flu jab was stronger.

I never could figure out why high school science often overlooks the lymphatic system. I created this resource for teachers, makes it much easier to explain to students. Has some helpful animated GIFs

Early regional #lymph node #activation drives #influenza #vaccine responses in an ancestrally diverse cohort

Source: BioRxIV, AbstractEarly in vivo dynamics of human immune-cell activation across regionally activated lymphoid tissue sites upon immunisation are poorly characterised in ancestrally diverse individuals. Here, we profiled draining and non-draining axillary lymph nodes (dLNs and ndLNs) by ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (FNA) in 13 Black and Asian…
