Tattoos and skin cancer

[p***@gmail.com]

I think I've seen postings suggesting that tattoos 1) increase your
risk of skin cancer, and 2) "protect" you from skin cancer.
Is there really any relationship between tattoos and skin cancer?
Have any studies been done?

Skin cancer begins in cells, the building blocks that make up the skin. Normally, skin cells grow and divide to form new cells. Every day skin cells grow old and die, and new cells take their place.

Hi guys

There's this really informative article that i read on Tattoo Planner that says it doesn't give you cancer, but may cover up moles that could be melancholic, here is the link.
