This finding explains why evolution has preserved this mechanism despite its association with an increased risk of melanoma.
A new study has found that people with two or more tattoos are diagnosed with melanoma less frequently than those without tattoos. The authors urge caution in interpreting these findings and emphasize the need for further research.
