- Medical_tattoo abstract "A medical tattoo is a tattoo used for indicating a medically relevant condition or body location. Medical tattoos can be used for a number of reasons: As a warning that a patient suffers from a chronic disease or allergy that can exacerbate suddenly and that will require immediate specific treatment; one example is in the case of diabetes mellitus, in which unconsciousness may be a sign of low or high blood glucose level. As an aid in radiotherapy. In order to minimize damage to surrounding tissues, the radiotherapist seeks to keep the irradiated field as small as possible. Marking a number of points on the body with tattoos can aid radiotherapists in adjusting the beam properly. During breast reconstruction after mastectomy (removal of the breast for treatment of cancer), or breast reduction surgery. Tattooing is sometimes used to replace the areola which has been removed during mastectomy, or to fill in areas of pigment loss which may occur during breast reduction performed with a free nipple graft technique. Similar to dog tags, members of the military have their vital information tattooed to them, usually on the rib cage below the armpit; they are referred to as "meat tags".↑ 1.0 1.1 ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑".
