(FOX NEWS) – In the modern landscape of self-expression, the allure of tattoos has only continued to grow. But a new study contains a startling revelation: People with tattoos may have a 21% higher risk of developing lymphoma.
The study from Lund University in Sweden finds that people’s chances of developing lymphoma increase regardless of the tattoo’s size. Dr. Christel Nielsen, the study’s leading author, emphasized the cultural significance of tattoos as a form of body art.
“People will likely want to continue to express their identity through tattoos, and therefore it is very important that we as a society can make sure that it is safe,” said Dr. Nielsen in a statement.
