So I’m aware they haven’t found evidence that tattoos can lead to cancer but my question is; is that because they haven’t done enough studies and it’s a low priority in the science community? Or have there been an adequate number done to mean it’s most likely safe?

I was actually planning to get my first tattoos next week but have been on the fence and have certainly wondered about safety.
