Basal cell carcinoma over the tattoo region has been poorly reported in the literature, with a total of 13 cases. All cases describe the clinical aspect of the lesion and its pathogenesis but do not characterize the dermoscopy. We report two cases of basal cell carcinoma on tattoos with clinical and dermoscopy features, treated with Mohs micrographic surgery. It was challenging to establish the tumor’s clinical and dermoscopic margins due to the tattoo’s exogenous pigment.
