Tattoos increase the risk of cancer by 21%, regardless of size
Getting a tattoo, regardless of its size, increases the risk of developing lymphoma by 21%, according to a new study. The researchers say they’re not trying to dissuade people from getting inked, they just want to ensure the procedure is safe.
Tattoos are much more common than they were a couple of decades ago. According to the Pew Research Center, 32% of US adults have one, and 22% have more than one. Now considered to be more socially acceptable, everyone – from pop stars to politicians – seems to be sporting ink.
Coupled with the global rise in the popularity of tattoos has been a largely unexplained increase in the incidence of malignant lymphoma, a cancer of the lymphatic system. In a new study, researchers from Lund University in Sweden examined the two to see if there was a connection.
“We have identified people diagnosed with lymphoma via population registers,” said Christel Nielsen, associate professor of epidemiology at Lund University and the study’s lead and corresponding author. “These individuals were then matched with a control group of the same sex and age, but without lymphoma. The study participants answered a questionnaire about lifestyle factors to determine whether they were tattooed or not.”
The lymphatic system is part of the immune system. It keeps body fluid levels in balance and defends against infection. There are two main types of cancer affecting the lymphatic system: non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), which accounts for around 90% of all lymphomas, and Hodgkin lymphoma. There are about 40 subtypes of NHL, which differ in how fast they grow and spread. NHL is one of the most common cancers in the US and can occur at any age.
The study included 11,905 Swedish people, 2,938 of whom had lymphoma between 20 and 60 years of age (‘cases’). Of those participants, 54% answered the questionnaire about tattoos; 47% of the controls (those without lymphoma) did the same. Tattoo prevalence was 21% among cases and 18% among controls.

My decision to remain tat free is paying off! Time to bust out the candy cigarettes to celebrate.

Water is stupid!
A 2019 study found that 22 carcinogens in drinking water were linked to increased cancer risks, including:
Arsenic
Radioactive materials like uranium and radium
Disinfectant byproducts
Pesticides and fertilizers
Lead from old pipes
Per- and poly-fluorinated substances (PFAS)

Re: Get a tat, get cancer
My glass is half full:
I'm expecting that the cancer I get from that BC Rich Bich tat on my back leads me to meeting a cute nurse at the hospital. Treatment is successful and I end up banging said nurse.
Win-win!

This. And I say that as I'm 3/4 of the way done with a sleeve. Just had a session a week ago. Got another in 2 weeks. I like tattoos and art of all types. So fuck it.TooOldToCare wrote: ↑Wed May 29, 2024 3:52 pm Everything causes cancer.

Re: Get a tat, get cancer
Well if that’s the case I’m in the clear because I had cancer twice before I got both of my sleeves.

Re: Get a tat, get cancer
op said a rose on your shoulder increases cancer risk by like 25%. So this would put the man close to or over 100% cancer death I would imagine.roxxxtar wrote: ↑Wed May 29, 2024 3:19 pmFrostbite?bentbrother wrote: ↑Wed May 29, 2024 8:47 am I think I can safely predict Evan Seinfelds cause of death:

Re: Get a tat, get cancer
True story. Got lymphoma (NHL). Treated successfully. Got a tattoo. NHL came back. Told "no more tattoos."
Moral of the story? There is none. You should dismiss it outright. My story isn't evidence, its an anecdote. It IS true, but my experience is one data point in millions.
People overweight the important of their own experience.

Re: Get a tat, get cancer
I don't have any tattoos and don't care about them, but this story is a massive nothing.
Plastic is everywhere now, in our rainwater, in our food and in our babies. War with Russia. Climate change. Obesity. Everything fucked since Covid. Insane prices for everything. Homelessness, poverty, mass immigration incoming.
And was it Bill Hicks or Dennis Leary that said who wants those years at the end anyway? The ones where you're all fucked, alone and old? Fucking take them.
Don't worry about your tattoos.
