Melanoma is a common cancer among young adults and rates of sun protection are low in this group. Approximately, 225 million people worldwide have tattoos; 40% of adults ages 18-29 have at least one tattoo. Sun Safety Ink! trained tattoo artists to promote full-body comprehensive sun protection to their clients to complement standard aftercare instructions that recommend sun protection for new tattoos. 37 tattoo studios participated. At pretest, clients (n=861) completed an online survey and self-reported sun protection on 5-point scales as: apply sunscreen SPF15+ on face (aftershave, face lotion, make-up), x̄ =3.31, SD=1.35; apply sunscreen SPF30+ exposed skin areas, x̄ =3.22, SD=1.11; reapply sunscreen, x̄ =3.08, SD=1.29; apply sunscreen lip balm, x̄ = 3.28, SD=1.39; wear any hat, x̄ =2.91, SD=1.20; wear wide-brimmed hat, x̄ =2.21, SD=1.19; wear sunglasses, x̄ = 3.89, 1.17; stay mostly in the shade, x̄ =3.38, SD=.96; wear protective clothing, x̄ =2.9, SD=1.16; watch skin for sunburn, x̄ =3.80, SD= 1.10 or tanning, x̄ =2.76, SD=1.31. Women were significantly more likely to: apply sunscreen of SPF15+ on the face, x2(4,N=820), 88.01, p<.0001; apply sunscreen of SPF30+ to exposed skin, x2(4,N=820), 13.14, p<.01; reapply sunscreen every two hours, x2(4,N=820), 25.91, p<.0001; limit time in the sun, x2(4,N=820), 10.07, p<.03; watch skin for signs of sunburn x2(4,N=820),14.20, p<.006. Men were significantly more likely to wear any hat x2(4, N=820),137.5, p<.0001 and wide-brimmed hat, x2(4, N=820), 43.08, p<.0001. Strategies are needed to promote low-frequency sun protection practices for men and women as these reported practices have remained steadfast.
