Abstract in brief

  • Tattoos can cause a wide range of skin problems, from mild sun sensitivity to serious allergic reactions, especially in red, blue, and green inks.
  • Common complications include infections—sometimes multiple bacteria resistant to antibiotics—and the risk of virus transmission like hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV if inks or procedures are contaminated.
  • Despite many concerns, there is no strong evidence linking tattoos to cancer; discrepancies between clinical observations and study data may be due to differences in how exposure occurs in real life versus experimental settings.]

Si bien se las encuentran en los ganglios linfáticos regionales, todavía no sabemos si pueden originar #cáncer. https://t.co/4UaS6fJTrM
