This is why it's important to speak up on unpopular perspectives, even when you know it'll bring you heat.

This post triggered a ton of people when I first published it, for obvious reasons - probably around half of all of my podcast/blog subscribers have tattoos.

Posted it anyway, because I know there are people out there who are completely unaware of the negative downstream effects, and just one touchpoint (even just the headline) could be enough to save them from making a decision they'd deeply regret later.

I promise you that just one message like this will instantly erase all the negative energy you absorbed from the haters.

SPEAK YOUR TRUTH, EVEN WHEN IT'S UNCOMFORTABLE. You truly never know who might be watching. (I haven't talked to this girl in years, and had no idea she was reading my blog)

You’re only missing one point in my estimation and that’s for western people there is no significant cultural history of tattooing. Meaning not only do tattoos have all the negative health effects you listed but they’re also often merely a crass consumeristic fad. Likely a blip in western culture that will recede and be looked upon with wide derision and mockery at some point in the future.

Tattoos are a fucking shitcoin. These High time preference decisions will look so dumb 20 years down the line

I have no tattoos and never will but I don’t think there is ‘no western cultural history’? I instinctively assumed they were kinda pagan, Celtic etc, and probably lost with Christianity? Sailors and soldiers have always had them

Do you think these people had tattoos?

Apparently King George V had one!
