Tattoo: According to the European Annal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology in a 2007 study there was not an association with increased allergic response (contact dermatitis) in people with allergic rhinitis or urticaria. Actually two diffferent mechanisms rhnitis is IGE mediated and local reaction is through local cell mediated reaction.
