Researchers from Lynd University in Sweden have discovered a potential link between tattoos and cancer developing in the lymphatic system. Their findings are part of a push to find out the potential impact of tattoos on the body and whether there are any short or long-term health impacts.

The researchers studied 11,905 people and of that group 2,938 of the participants between the ages of 20 and 60 had lymphoma. Of those with lymphoma 21 percent of them, 289, had tattoos compared to the control group of 735 who didn’t have lymphoma. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.
