Yes, it is true that a woman should not get a tattoo if she has a history of breast cancer. Tattoos can be a risk factor for the development of skin cancer and there are some forms of skin cancers which have been associated with tattoos. Breast cancer survivors may need to take additional precautions when considering a tattoo due to the increased risk of recurrence in this population.
