flag Multiple tattoos may lower melanoma risk, study finds, but one tattoo could increase it.

flag A University of Utah study involving 7,000 people found that those with two or more tattoo sessions had a lower risk of melanoma, including both invasive and in situ types, while one tattoo session was linked to a higher risk, particularly for in situ melanoma. flag Researchers say the findings suggest a possible protective effect from multiple tattoos, though more study is needed to confirm the connection and understand its implications for other cancers. flag The results add to ongoing discussions about skin health, given that a significant portion of Americans have tattoos.
