Great informative article, but depressing. I got tattoos in the Navy, Why? because I was stupid. I would absolutely love to either go back in time and not make a stupid decision or be able to change what I did now. It appears that there is no hope for me to have tattoo-free skin ever again.
“Extreme tattooing—on the face, neck, hands, and scalp—is not merely an aesthetic choice pushed to the extreme. It is, the data suggest, a marker of severe and escalating psychopathology.”
Like every fad that's ever come along, tatoos will at some future point not be "cool" to a younger generation, become totally passé and then only date those sporting them.
Besides, folks doing something permanent in an attempt to be cool &/or accepted seems hairbrained/lemming-like & that precludes most from ever considering tats.
I feel like the headline will limit who sees this article. Those thinking of tattoos, to whom this might be of the most use, may not read it because it sounds like an emotional appeal not a health risk.
This is great information, but will fall on deaf ears in the population that needs to hear it. Like telling kids to ‘Just say no to drugs’. Great idea, but who’s listening? Not the youngsters
If they're dumb enough to ruin their beauty, what other bad decisions are they making in their lives today? If we hang out with that mentality too long, it ruins our intelligence.
There are many ways to memorialize a loved one who has passed away rather than to pay someone to continuously jab a sharp needle into our skin, our precious body that God created, and deposit toxic colored solutions.
If I had a tattoo for everyone whose have died in my life, my body would be entirely filled with names, dates, puppy faces, ships, flowers, military symbols, etc.
funny how you used AI to write the entirety of this article

What a load of manurea load
69 yo wf and nary a tattoo in sight. Also no hair coloring and love my silver and all natural hair.
Here’s something I’ve always known intuitively.
“Extreme tattooing—on the face, neck, hands, and scalp—is not merely an aesthetic choice pushed to the extreme. It is, the data suggest, a marker of severe and escalating psychopathology.”
The DSM IV used to list tattoos on the level of cutting, indicating a mental health crisis.

Would be interesting to know the % of suicide victims with tattoos
A relative of mine has a large word, "SUICIDAL" tattoo'd on his inner arm; it's huge.
He likes the musical group, Suicidal Tendencies..........But he has also been suicidal himself a few times (due to drugs, etc).
Of course, he has other tattoos also.
I met a man who had a largish tattoo of satan on his back - a devil with horns.
When I asked him about it, he said it was NOT satan. I responded with, "It's a man with HORNS! It's satan!"
These tattoo'd people are nuts.
I've seen gorgeous 25 year old women who when they reveal their ink jobs immediately fell out of consideration - they're a deal breaker for me
If they're dumb enough to ruin their beauty, what other bad decisions are they making in their lives today? If we hang out with that mentality too long, it ruins our intelligence.
Tattoos are a deal killer for me, too.
There are many ways to memorialize a loved one who has passed away rather than to pay someone to continuously jab a sharp needle into our skin, our precious body that God created, and deposit toxic colored solutions.

No thanks.
