Study finds Tatoo ink accumulates in Lymph nodes

I have sleeves.

I also breathed in trash pits overseas, ate sandwiches after cleaning my rifle with CLP, use nicotine, get crap sleep, eat food I shouldn't, and partied far too hard in my twenties.

I care about my health, but we live in a world where every two month study tells us that living life is going to kill us. So, why worry. Live it to your fullest and have no regerts.
 
I have a bunch of tattoos. I got when I was younger. If I could go back i would have not got them. But too late now. I don’t really have them where people can see them when have shirt on.
 
I always knew tattooed gals were more fun - who knew it was because ink collected in their lymph nodes?!

An animal study that isn't even looking at long term health outcomes, but rather a 2 month window following intermediary markers and lacks a control (in this case skin trauma without ink).

Complete healing takes up to 6 months, so not surprising the immune system showed alterations.

The vaccine response is interesting, but not really anything practice to do with it.

There are epidemiological studies that show correlation between tattoos and lymphoma in one and skin cancer in another. This could hold up, but that data looks too weak to firmly state causation.

People would be much better off avoiding tobacco, nicotine, alcohol, charred meats, and marijuana products. As well as exercising and getting adequate sleep.

No one should feel they are healthy because they don't have tattoos. But, this adds one more thing to be considered before deciding to get a tattoo. Though concerns about infection and being stuck with crappy body art should rank higher at this point.

Yeah, thats^ accurate. It's all degrees.

I do believe exposure to chemicals and solvents is a risk to our bodies.

Colored Tat ink contains carcinogens....many sources on that.

Does getting a colored Tat have the same effect on my body as the glass of wine I had last night at dinner?
I dunno......I hope not- grin

tats are just another "look at me" more than anything else.....and largely a complete waste of money. Want to look inclusive, get purple hair dye. It's cheaper and don't need to worry about wrinkly skin tats when you are 70.

But purple hair dye seriously increases your risk of being massively overweight.

Or is it the other way around? - grin
 
This stuff is kinda like playing russian roulette with a 50 shot revolver. Every poor choice is like tossing another bullet in the chamber.
 
I waited until I turned 50 to get my first tattoo, that way they're still fresh when I'm 80. They are kind of like tequila shots, it's hard to have just one...planning on #5 soon.

Life is all about choices, if you don't like them, or don't want the risk, don't get one. Pretty simple.
