My wife and I have none.
If people want to look like garbage then that’s their problem.
I got one. Love it. Rose with pedals...pop’s name on the rose, two very close uncles no the petals...all deceased.
40000000000 things cause cancer.
Or not.
Genetics overrides all.
I had a small tattoo on my forearm but had it surgically removed 5-6 years ago by a dermatologist. He said the problem with tattoos in inconsistency in types of ink, needle depth etc. so getting one is a crap shoot.
I watched a skin doctor explain how tattoos work. The ink is injected into the skin. The body’s immune system recognizes the ink as an invader and sends immune cells to consume the invader. The immune cell gobbles up the ink, then dies. This is what makes the tattoo permanent. It is continuously attacked by the immune system rather than being absorbed.
I imagine some inks have toxic properties. The skin cells will be continuously bathed in this toxic soup. The fact that may induce cancer shouldn’t be a surprise.
I noticed that in older men the tattoos seem to fade. This is probably because their immune system is no longer robust and continuously sending immune cells. Therefore, the ink gets absorbed and carried away.
Solution:
Don’t get one..................
I saw that video on X. She actually thinks she looks good.....................
I’m in redneck territory, where you can find people tatted like Queequeg. I haven’t even had my ears pierced. Body art? Mascara is my limit.
Yikes! I could never understand that. Do these people ever wake up one day and cry “My God, what have I DONE?”
Police and murder investigators love tattoos
Is that why there aren’t a lot of old pirates?
Tattoos are for sheep. Everyone has them, it’s like walking into a giant carnival. I can’t imagine getting tattooed and having to look at the damn thing my entire life. And on females they look horrific.
Tattoos are like a tribal thing, like all the natives getting on tattooed up, then start piercing their skin, nose rings, jamming dinner plates in their lips, dog bones hanging from their ears etc.
