(this links to a number of research papers in this area) - - - Updated - - - Interesting read. I feel like the conclusion of that paper agrees with me. Thank you for reading it Brian, I appreciate your committment to the intellect of the discussion. I feel like the bit just before the conclusion agrees with me :) SCC is Squamous cell carcinoma by the way. "red is known to be the main color responsible for hypersensitivity tattoo reactions and seems to be the most common color for triggering SCCs, keratoacanthomas, and pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia.4 Therefore, the authors of this presented case think that SCC occurrence is strongly connected with the red ink’s usage for tattooing."
