Researchers at the University of Southern Denmark found evidence of a link between tattoos and cancer risk.

Those with tattoos were noticeably more likely to develop skin cancer and lymphoma than their counterparts.

The researchers say more research is needed to determine whether the link is causal.

The largest associated risk was seen with tattoos larger than the size of a palm.
