We present an extensive review of literature related to the relationship between tattoos and skin cancer, as well as public health recommendations for tat ...

Some studies have indicated that tattoos may be associated with markers of high-risk behaviors, mental illness diagnosis, and personality disorders. We attempt to provide an updated and comprehensive guide for forensic evaluators, so they can incorporate the observation of tattoos into the ...
