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.

I agree, wish I knew this stuff before I got my tattoo, though at least I haven't covered a large part of my body like so many people continue to do.

One thing that I would add re: heavy metal detox, it's relatively new information but mineral balancing is a potential means of getting them out of your system. Metal toxicity occurs when your cells are deficient in the preferred metals for accomplishing specific cellular functions. By balancing mineral content with testing and diet, You can cycle necessary metals in and help you body to dispose of the heavy metals that were poisoning you.

Any number of videos from Sara Pugh (@spugh01 on X), but the Morley Robbins series seems like a good starting point:

That hits hard, thanks for sharing. I never wanted tattoos, although good tattoos are works of art that I appreciate. My own skin as canvas was Always an uncomfortable Idea for me. My "body-sin" is smoking tobacco. So i Just inking the inside of my lung. Well, its addictive to do harm to yourself. Even If Its obviously bad. Humans are such a fascinating species! Really addictive to explore us, too! 🤪😂🤔😱😵‍💫🫩🌚🌝

They’re also expensive waste of money

I have one small tattoo that I got in poor judgement. Didn’t connect it for a while later but around that time I started struggling with more health issues…

For people who do have a tattoo, does removal help or just recommend leaving it?

When I see a tattoo on a woman, I don't see art, I see graffiti.

I may tolerate graffiti while I have to live in the city early in my life and career, but my goal is always to leave. One of the primary reasons for a yearning to escapr is the ugliness of graffiti. It is a constant reminder of the disgusting debauchery and hatful nature of the "diverse" people there, shoved together with no common vision.

When I see graffiti on a woman, I see evidence of self-hatred, lack of love and protection by her father and hurt from failed frivolous relationships with the most disgusting and diseased kinds of men. I may tolerate these women while I am forced to choose from among them, but after first quality women I find and hold fast to is when I breathe a sigh of relief that I had escaped the tattooed ugliness.
