A group that includes researcher and professor at Lund University in Switzerland, Christel Nielsen, is going to do an in-depth study on the fact that tattooing has something to do with blood cancer known as ‘lymphoma’
It was after researchers at the university conducted a study to see if tattooing does not cause blood cancer and lacked concrete evidence to support it
These researchers studied 12,000 people, 3,000 of whom had blood cancer and had tattoos on their bodies
The researchers concluded that having a tattoo is one of the most likely causes of cancer, stressing that there is no evidence that the tattoo causes blood cancer because the subjects were retired and some of them smoked and it is also one of the factors that can make a person vulnerable to this type of cancer
They said that in order to confirm that tattoos cause cancer, further research should be done
Christel Nielisen says there is a team of researchers at Lund University who are going to play it in depth to find out if blood cancer can be caused by tattoos
