Tattoos Linked to Increased Cancer Risk: What You Need to Know ⚠️

New research suggests that tattoos may carry more than just artistic significance. 

Despite their widespread popularity, there has been little investigation into whether having a tattoo increases the risk of cancer—until now.

Recent findings highlight a potential link between tattoos and an increased risk of lymphoma. 

Key Points ✨

Researchers in Sweden conducted a study with over 5000 individuals.

Those with tattoos had a 21% higher risk of developing lymphoma compared to those without tattoos. Interestingly, the size of the tattoo did not influence the risk level.
