There's nothing new under the sun....

Famous "bikini girls" mosaic (found by archeological excavation of the ancient Roman villa near Piazza Armerina in Sicily), showing women exercising, running, or receiving the palm of victory and crown (for winning an athletic competition).

Since then, the popularity of the bikini has only continued to grow.

As have the incidents of skin cancer and other sun related skin damage grown.

That’s actually a pretty ugly suit, but I guess we had to start somewhere.

Unless you can demonstrate that the incidence of skin cancer has increased on the upper butt cheeks and the midsection--areas covered by a traditional one-piece bathing suit--then I don't think you can argue that wearing bikinis leads to skin cancer.
