Tat2X® Supports Skin Cancer Prevention Efforts

LONG BEACH, Calif. - May 21, 2013 - PRLog -- According to the Skin Cancer Foundation there are two million cases of skin cancer diagnosed in the U.S. each year.  It is the most common form of cancer and one in five Americans will develop skin cancer during their lifetime.  The prevalence of some types of skin cancer has increased by over 800% since 1970.  There’s little doubt that the intensity of the sun’s rays has been rising steadily over the last few decades.  Most people already know that Ink Armor™ sleeves by Tat2X® do an excellent job of concealing tattoos in the workplace.  However, most people don’t realize that Ink Armor sleeves also provide excellent protection from the sun.      

Our founder, Mo Nelson, understands the importance of protecting your ink and skin from the sun having had skin cancer twice. Ink Armor is a product that is not only functional for working professionals who need to cover their tattoos but it also provides superior shielding from the sun. The fabric blend used for Ink Armor tattoo cover up sleeves gives you amazing sun protection at UPF 50+. In other words our sleeves block 98% of the sun’s most harmful rays.

The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends wearing protective clothing while working or playing outside.  Golfing, sailing, running, gardening and surfing are just a few of the activities that benefit from the use of Ink Armor.  Tat2X would like to officially release our Ink Armor sleeves as an aid in the prevention of skin cancer.  The sleeves stay cool in the heat and can also get wet without any issues.  Also in honor of the month of May being skin cancer awareness month Tat2X plans to make a donation to the Skin Cancer Foundation.  The chances of getting skin cancer can be dramatically reduced by simply protecting your skin when you are outside.  Tat2X believes in the power of prevention and will continue to support this cause.
