Tattoos Affect Your Immune System in Ways Scientists Are Just Beginning to Understand
Plus;
“Many pigments currently in use were originally developed for industrial applications such as car paint, plastics, and printer toner, rather than for injection into human skin.”
Researchers have detected trace quantities of heavy metals in tattoo inks, including nickel, cobalt, chromium, and, on rare occasions, lead. Accumulated at high levels, heavy metals can be toxic, causing serious health problems such as internal organ damage, neurotoxicity, and increased cancer risk.
In some cases, these heavy metals triggered allergic reactions and immune sensitivity in the person receiving the tattoo.
On X, martyupnorth posted a wage chart versus number of tattoos.
Guess how that went…
No mention of piercings…people of hair color, etc
Hey, what about us?

Plattner’s Disease, aka Totenkopfia.
Petrochemicals for the Win.
Totenkopfia….OMG, that’s fantastic. Right up there with Oysterfuhrer.
That’s excellent!
There’s an old US senator with a big streak of purple in her hair. She could keep crows out of a cornfield, and the hair dye has clearly affected her brain, and not in a good way.
What brain, that pig ain’t got one of those!
GYM regretting his “Juicy” tramp stamp…
Yeah the appropriations abomination with the big glasses? Nasty biotch. She looks like she came out of the Evil Dead movie.
The thing I like best about tattoos, piercings, and hair dye is how easy they make it to spot low-iq types with poor impulse control.
I refused the dangerous Covid jab and I do not have any tattoos whatsoever.
Trust no one with a syringe or a tattoo parlor,.
People who buy into that nonsense are fools who think it will make them different ….
Just like everyone else
Wait … don’t the tattoo … artists … run a little match under their needles to sterilize them? Or is that just something I saw in a 1950’s movie?
Needle, spoon, what’s the difference?
As soon as I find a word … words … symbols … art … patterns … or whatever … I want to have PERMANENTLY injected under my skin … I might consider a tattoo. But since not so much as a barb wire sleeve or daisy on my ankle has appealed to my “permanent standard” … I remain tattoo-free.
And now I learn *eye roll* that I’m healthier for it.
Hieroglyphic history.
If I ever get a tattoo it will be bear claws on my shoulder, with a drop of blood at the end of each claw corresponding to a divorce.
Not worth memorializing. I would have ONE of those claws … but it would start in the middle of my back … because I never saw it coming … and it would just be a deep puncture wound that nicked my heart … but I recovered … and never looked back at the wound. And have no interest in seeing the scar … it was a long time ago.
I know a young lady in medicine. She just got tats. Including a tramp stamp. I guess kids will be kids but they ought to know better.
One has to consider the symbolism as well as the safety of a tattoo. I was going to get a Porky Pig tattoo, but then I began to ask myself just what that pigment…
That’s All Folks!
