    Objetivo: Describir lo cambios clínicos que se observan en la mucosa oral, posterior a la elaboración de tatuajes intraorales.Materiales y métodos: Se hizo un estudio descriptivo de los cambios clínicos en la mucosa oral, en 11 pacientes que se habían realizado tatuajes intraorales, se interrogó acerca de la edad, estado socioeconómico, nivel educativo, existencia de tatuajes extraorales, antecedentes médicos o patologías asociadas con sus tatuajes. Se hizo un examen clínico intraoral y se tomaron fotografías de los tatuajes intra y extraorales; se realizaron consultas de control y seguimiento a los 8, 15, 30 y 60 díasResultados: El sitio con más frecuencia de elaboración fue en el labio inferior, el diseño más empleado fue con letras, se prefieren tatuajes monocromáticos, después de 15 días la mucosa ha cicatrizado, a los sesenta días el tatuaje se estabiliza, pierde coloración y no genera ningún tipo de alteración relevante.Conclusión: Dentro de los alcances de esta investigación se aprecia que el material utilizado (pigmento negro) al parecer es biocompatible. No existe tratado o reglamento sobre el uso de tintas específicas, técnicas, tipos de aguja o de calibración en las máquinas para tatuar cuando se tatúa esta área, los artistas prefieren trabajar como mejor se sienten y con tintas que son confiables en su experiencia clínica. La bioseguridad en los sitios de modificaciones corporales es cada vez más estricta y regulada.

    Objective: Describe the clinical changesobserved in the oral mucosa after intraoraltattoos, evaluate tissue reactions for modificationsof this type.Materials and methods: It made aa descriptivestudy of the clinical changes inthe oral mucous was made in 11 patientswho had had intraoral tattoos were interviewedto obtain general information suchas age, socioeconomic status, educationallevel, presence of extraoral tattoos, bodymodifications, relevant medical history orproblems with their modifications, intraoraltattoos collected data for the design, madedate, color type, location, changes andclinical findings among others. There wasa complete stomatological examination,photographs were taken of body modification,intra and extra oral tattoos, it madePhotograpic control and monitoring wasmade at 8, 15, 30 and 60 days before, andata collected in simplified tables.Results: All patients had at least one previousbody modification. The most commonsite of intraoral tattoo was on the lowerlip, the design was used with letters, tattoosare preferred monochrome, usually blackpigment after 15 days the oral mucous doesnot seem to irreversible damage at 60 daysthe tattoo is stabilized, lost some color anddefinition but apparently does not produceany clinically relevant change.Conclusion: Within the limits of this investigationshows that the material used (pigmentblack) appears to be biocompatible.Not exist treaty or regulation on the use ofspecific inks, techniques, types of needle orcalibration in the tattoo machines when aremaking a tattoo in this area, tattoo artistsrefer to work as best they feel and inks thatare reliable on their clinical experiences .Biosafety at the sites of body modificationsare becoming more strict and regulated.
