    1. And as the article mentions it is quite likely because those with multiple tattoos are more likely to apply sunscreen.

      With someone heavily tattooed and has recently had 2 melanomas in my early 30s, one of which on a tattoo, I’m pretty skeptical on this

    3. Wasn’t there already a study that said that tattoos cause more (skin) cancer, with more coverage being a higher correlation?

    4. But with a higher risk of developing lymphoma. Statistic wise, not a good trade up.

      Glad I got that flaming hotdog with a naked lady riding it on my chest after all.

      So a 2024 Swedish study in eClinicalMedicine actually found tattoos were linked to a higher risk of lymphoma, and the size of the tattoo didn’t even matter. So depending on which study you read, tattoos either protect you from cancer or give you one. Science…

    7. I wonder if there is a behavioral link. Speaking anecdotally, I started using more sunscreen after I got my tattoos because constant sun can break them down faster. If there’s a significant number of like minded tattooed people, that could explain it.
