Your tattoo is leaking into your body’s lymph nodes: study

Yeah, well, LETHAL DISEASES are "as old as human history", too!

Besides, the tattoo "artist" may be as hygiene-oriented and sanitary as a CDC clean-room, with totally disinfected tools, but the report has found that the INK ITSELF is leaking into lymph nodes! It may be SANITARY ink, but you don't want it in your LYMPH NODES!

 

Just from an visual perspective studies show that men view women with tattoos as less desirable and also more promiscuous. So even if that's just men's view and not actually the reality why would a women want that label from men? @pocket aces


"The few studies that have focused on men's perceptions of tattooed women have found that these women are seen in a generally negative light. One study, for example, asked men to rate a 24-year old woman seen in a photograph on a range of personal characteristics. Some men were shown the photo with a black dragon tattoo on the woman's upper left arm; others were shown the photo without the tattoo. When men saw the woman with the tattoo, they judged her as less athletic, less motivated, less honest, less generous, less religious, less intelligent, and less artistic than when she displayed no tattoo.

But Guéguen noticed one curious set of findings in this thin research area: While men see tattooed women as less attractive, they also see them as more promiscuous."

Looks more like sharpie than tattoo

 

Me neither.

I find he whole "tattoo thing" (embraced by the Under-30 Crowd) to be completely idiotic.

 

ROTFLMAO !!!!!!

Good one

 

I was joking with you.
She's with you, .....get it?

 

They already do, there a quite a number of tattoo removal places, they are advertised all over.

 

Tattoos are a personal choice, and it shouldn't change anyone. People don't have to like them, I really don't care for them, but it is a personal choice, I have no problem with people with tattoos, it makes no difference.

 

As someone who has a complete sleeve on my left arm I can tell you a bit about public (and employer) perception. In the 90's no one cared. In the 00's employers started crafting tattoo policy, some going so far as to ban them completely. At the time I was finishing my NP preceptorship at a VA hospital and no one cared there either. Flash forward to now and I am in a relatively high position within my organization. The company policy is "no visible tattoos", so I, and half the other employees it seems, make do with sleeves designed to cover tattoos.

Your situation may be more fortunate than it is for many others -- since you work in the medical community, you can probably get hepatitis tests and tests for lymphoma early and often enough to be able to detect serious problems early.

Sadly, many kinds of cancer take forms that aren't detected until they are well-advanced... and the same is true of hepatitis B and C. A gastroenterologist once told me that all forms of liver cancer (including hep) are kind of like "wheels on a wagon". None of them 'fall off' until they all 'fall off' at once. Good luck!

 

So is limiting your future employment and personal relationship opportunities.

 

Some people care and some people don't.

 

Well, I'm certainly not going to have some kind of Chicken Little response to a few internet articles that have such generous use of the word "possibly".

Besides, the articles specifically mention the tattoo needles shedding the toxins. For nearly a decade U.S. tattoo shops use disposable needles that don't really have time to degrade in the same way their European counterparts do because European tattoo artists still re-use, and then sterilize, their needles.

 

You might be surprised if you knew just how much ink is on the average American. Including police, nurses, lawyers, bankers, etc.

 

Everyone should do what pleases himself, but, there are certain precautions that are warranted!

Before you develop an intimate relationship with anyone bearing a tattoo, I'd make them have blood tests for hepatitis A, B, and C. Ooh, but that would be a 'deal-killer'. Make no mistake -- hep can be spread through a variety of methods... which is why they don't let people with hep work in food service, for instance. Sexual contact is another biggie.

Best advice -- avoid having intimacy with anyone who has tattoos. Hint: hepatitis (and lymphoma cancer) is a hell of a lot easier to AVOID than it is to get RID of....

 

Yeah... 'stupidity', like hepatitis and lymphoma cancer, is abundant in the world today. On the plus-side, it helps, albeit slightly, to help keep the population in check....

. HEY, GIVE THAT GAL A 'DARWIN AWARD'!

 

One can get vaccines for hepatitis b & c, without their spouse having tattoos. I didn't see/read of any direct connection between the tattoos and lyphoma cancer other than the lymph nodes being affected by nano particles. Those articles did not state cancer was the result.

 

This post is entirely overdramatic hysteria.

 

Yeah, Eric, ignore all the danger signals if you like, but as far as lymphoma is concerned, it's in the INK! You don't have to have gotten tattooed in some sleazy, gut-bucket tattoo parlor to dread what's in the INK itself! And it's this crap in the INK that is what's contaminating people's lymph systems! You work in the medical industry? Then you should know this already....

 

Roll your dice, move your mice.
Everybody gets a turn

 

Take your chances if it's worth that much to you.
Pop culture and trends are irresistable

 

Sorry, but there is NO vaccine for hepatitis C. There are vaccines for hep A, and B. And, to my knowledge, there is as yet no way to get the contamination of tattoo ink out of a person's lymph nodes.... You could try mega-dosing on Vitamin C (to greatly enlarge the nodes themselves and flush them), but it is highly doubtful that this would do any good at all....

Tat-owners can console themselves with this lovely old song by The Who:
"...you'll be there when I die...."
But, we've learned a lot since the 1960's... right....?

 

The pet rock and the cha pet were awesome though lmao

 

Always feel a bit sad when I watch American Pickers and see a hot girl ruined but that's on me for judging by appearance.

 

I have decades long experience in both tattooing and Infection Control. The articles cited were specific to European tattooing, and I know for a fact that different techniques, and different inks, are used over there. If you re-read the article you will see that they postulated that the contaminants were shedding off of the needles and not the ink itself.

Again, US tattoo artists use disposable needles these days. They are not used over and over like they were in the past, and like they are still used in Europe and other places.

Every single thing you do in life has risk. There is no getting away from that. Tattooing has a long, rich, history stretching back to the dawn of humanity. If it were truly that dangerous (hint: it isn't), we, as a species, would have abandoned the practice a millenia ago.
