5 Key Takeaways

• 1

  Tattoo-associated uveitis (TAU) is increasingly recognized and should be considered in patients with idiopathic bilateral anterior uveitis.

• 2

  A significant proportion of TAU patients require systemic therapy, with many escalating to biologic treatments for management.

• 3

  Complications such as cataracts and glaucoma are common in TAU, and true off-treatment remission is rare.

• 4

  Documentation of tattoo history and skin findings is crucial in the uveitis workup to improve patient care and clinical awareness.

• 5

  Management of TAU often necessitates systemic therapies, as topical treatments alone are frequently insufficient for controlling the condition.
