General

  • Iatrogenic tattoos are commonly seen in the context of polypectomy scars. Unfortunately, endoscopists are not good at documenting them; a study from 2021 found 67% of the time the location of the tattoo is not documented.[1]
  • In the colon, tattoos are most often distal to the feature of interest.[1]
