Theodore Dalrymple (a doctor) had a piece recently that there is a type of TB that can be contracted through tattoo ink and is undetectable until the victim is infected.
California passed a law regulating tattoo parlors that went into effect last July. Odd you can’t get your hair cut unless the person has 2000 hours of education leading to a license.
I grew up in a neighborhood where a few of my neighbors had numbers tattooed on their forearms. Any interest in a tattoo went right out the window then and there.
Odd, as we alledgedly become more civilized, (people want to engage in sexual perversion, tattoo and scarify their bodies, pierce their bodies, stretch their earlobes out of shape, and paint the cave walls (grafitti),) the more primitive they become.
add primitive “music” like rap to your list...
