- Abstract
It would be challenging to differentiate whether a cancer arose due to the tattoo itself or its removal, considering that individuals may have other tattoos, and various environmental factors would need to be considered. Tattooing of skin results in transportation and light-induced decomposition of tattoo pigments--a first quantification in vivo using a mouse model.
