Development and Validation of the Epidemiological Tattoo Assessment Tool to Assess Ink Exposure and Related Factors in Tattooed Populations for Medical Research: Cross-sectional Validation Study

Development and Validation of the Epidemiological Tattoo Assessment Tool to Assess Ink Exposure and Related Factors in Tattooed Populations for Medical Research: Cross-sectional Validation Study

Despite regulatory efforts, tattoo inks may contain hazardous substances, including known carcinogens such as metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and primary aromatic amines [1-5]. These substances, which can induce DNA damage and cell mutations in some exposed organs, can become systemic after intradermal injection, and this process itself modifies the immune response [6].
