Abstract

Are tattoos on adolescents only gang-related? Not according to this study with 105 tattooed adolescents; 69% were high school students with A or B grades. Of the other 537 teenagers who participated in this study in five suburban high schools and one large urban school district, over a third are considering tattooing. Understanding rationale and risks, as well as concerns if they later request laser therapy removal, is important for dermatology nurses.

摘要

青少年纹身都只是与帮派有关吗？根据这项针对105名有纹身青少年的研究并非如此；69%是成绩为A或B的高中生。在另外537名参与了这项在五个郊区高中和一个大型城市学区开展研究的青少年中，超过三分之一的人正在考虑纹身。了解纹身的理由和风险，以及他们日后若要求用激光治疗去除纹身时的担忧，对皮肤科护士来说很重要。
