Sun Safety Ink! Program
The intervention will be comprised of an online skin cancer prevention training for all tattoo artists of participating studios. The training will include skin cancer rates and risk factors, tattoo rates, recommendations for sun protection practices, a rationale for the relationship of tattoo care and sun safety, and recommended communication strategies for artists to communicate skin cancer prevention to their clients. Additional printed materials (tip-card for clients, posters) to be displayed in tattoo studios, a Sun Safety Ink! website, and social media messages for tattoo studios' Facebook and Pinterest pages will be provided.
Attention Control
Studios and artists in this attention control group will not receive the Sun Safety Ink! program. They will continue to provide standard aftercare instructions to clients. The program will be provided to them at the end of the study.
