Planning to get inked? Study links tattoos to common skin cancer — but it’s not what you think
New research from Lund University indicates a potential link between tattoos and a higher risk of melanoma. People with tattoos showed a 29% increased likelihood of developing this serious skin cancer. However, no such association was found with squamous cell carcinoma. Experts emphasize the need for more research to understand the biological mechanisms behind this finding.
