eng	Assessment of risks perception associated with the use of tattoo inks	The submission is focused both on the chemical risk assessment (coming from heavy metals) and social perception of risks associated with tattooing. The determination of heavy metal content in tattoo inks, which are the contaminating components of tattoo inks, by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry was carried out. The potential health risk is estimated based on the found heavy metal contents and the average amount of tattoo ink applied and compared with this corresponding to drinking water consumption. To assess the nanoparticle content, the size of particles of tattoo inks is evaluated. The assessment of the perception of the risks associated with tattoos is based on the evaluation of the survey (1946 rrespondents) on the perception of risks associated with chemicals, tattoo inks and the process of tattooing by multidimensional statistical methods. Differences between tattooed and non-tattooed respondents are assessed due to their social background, mental health and risky behaviour using graphical methods and univariate and multivariate statistical methods	Tattoo; Heavy Metals; Chemical Analysis; Particle Size; Risk perception; Statistical Analysis
