Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ethical review board would most likely be concerned about the physical risk to the participants, as getting a tattoo involves breaking the skin and can potentially lead to infections or other complications. The size and color of the tattoo may also be a consideration, but the physical risk is likely to be the primary concern. The various perceptions of tattoos and the monetary cost of the tattoo may be important factors to consider, but they are not likely to be the main ethical concerns.
