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 a degree of pain, and there is a risk of infection or other complications. The size and colour of the tattoo may also be considered, but the primary concern would be the potential harm to the participants. The board may also consider the cost of the tattoo, but this would not be a major factor in their decision-making process. The study's focus on people's perceptions of tattoos would not necessarily raise ethical concerns unless the study had potential negative consequences for participants.
