    Didn’t see a call out as to whether or not those with tattoos were less likely to use sunblock

      If anything I’d expect the opposite; many people with fresh tattoos are constantly applying sunscreen to keep it protected

      Even with sunblock my tattoos get uncomfortably hot in the sun. So I just wear long sleeves year round. I also have the pale freckled skintype, which is the most susceptible to skin cancer
