Bonus link: 83% of tattoo inks contain hidden ingredients linked to cancer, organ damage: study
From the NewAtlas article at top:
Getting a tattoo, regardless of its size, increases the risk of developing lymphoma by 21%, according to a new study.
. . . Tattoos are much more common than they were a couple of decades ago. According to the Pew Research Center, 32% of US adults have one, and 22% have more than one. Now considered to be more socially acceptable, everyone – from pop stars to politicians – seems to be sporting ink.
. . . The lymphatic system is part of the immune system. It keeps body fluid levels in balance and defends against infection. There are two main types of cancer affecting the lymphatic system: non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), which accounts for around 90% of all lymphomas, and Hodgkin lymphoma. There are about 40 subtypes of NHL, which differ in how fast they grow and spread. NHL is one of the most common cancers in the US and can occur at any age.
. . . Previous studies have found particles of tattoo ink – and, indeed, metal nanoparticles from the tattoo needle itself – can travel to the lymph nodes.
“We already know that when the tattoo ink is injected into the skin, the body interprets this as something foreign that should not be there and the immune system is activated,” Nielsen said. “A large part of the ink is transported away from the skin to the lymph nodes, where it is deposited.”
It is ugly AF.
Self-mutilation tells you a lot about the weak mind inside.
How is a tattoo being weak? I have 2 tattoos on me that my kids, when they were young drew up for me. They are the best things on my body and I will die with them. I don't consider myself weak in any way.
It’s very difficult to decry tattoos without being offensive to people who have them.
Much love, fren.
I don't mind a few small ones, I think the women that put them ALL over their arms and legs look ridiculous.
You sound vaccinated.
Amen! Tribal tats were so popular’95-2000. There are so many that made the same mistake you did. I’m glad for you to be outspoken about it. It’s not condemnation but reformation!
Cope harder lib.
A little known fact about the rise of tattoos in America —
“The tattoo business as we know it was largely created by Jews. Lewis “Lew the Jew” Alberts, Charlie Wagner, Brooklyn Joe Lieber, William Moskowitz, Milton Zeis … these are the founding fathers who created the art of American tattooing and the technology that helped establish an industry.”

Funny.
Leviticus 19:28 "'You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor tattoo any marks on you. I am the LORD.
Well damn, I didn't remember that one. Thanks.
All my friends were getting tattoos! I knew this verse and the thing with God is that these ‘rules’ are for our protection and safety from things we may not be capable of understanding the full ramifications of. There are spiritual forces of evil in our realm. If you Trust in the Lord why is He so specific here? All I know is that I don’t want to find out. I got enough problems!
Why am I not surprised ... at all?
What I don’t get is that their job in the OT was explicitly to be an example to all the nations.
Not to say “we’re better than you and will happily trick you into sinning for whatever reason” as so many are doing now.
One big saving grace I’ve seen is that a lot of the ones leading people astray claim to be atheists.
It’s really annoying to try and dig through this to figure out what’s actually going on…
They crucified Christ for starters. God saved Noah and promised not to flood the whole earth. Why did the flood happen? What happened after the flood. The OT is shadows of things to come. A testimony to God’s love for us despite our bent to sin. It isn’t the Jews per se but the sin cultivating in our hearts that hate the Truth. The OT caused the Jews to constantly try to work around the the law with the talmud. The ramifications for fornicating with pagans is their generational curses. Seen now with whether the Israelites of the OT are todays Jews. The sins of their fathers are the fruit we see today. If you are not with Christ you are against him. They are like Smeagal with their precious gold and diamonds because they’ve lost the promise. God is still using them despite their best efforts! Marxism, communism, hedonism, and homosexuality are pushed by Jews so that the World thru them will not know Christ. They believe God gave them to promised land and from there shall conquer to World and bring it to their subjugation- the NWO
Are you talking about muh jews?
If so, you have been led astray (as has most everyone).
The Israelites of the Bible were NOT the jews, and today's jews are NOT the descendants of the Israelites.
When you begin to understand the lies and deception, it ALL makes sense.
I've written a few posts on this. Maybe a search with key words would at least give you my perspective, which I can assure you, is nothing like you have learned from your church, Hollyweird media, etc.
God forgives you! Your tattoos are a testimony to how God changed you. Sinners see that you may be like them and relate to you. But if you get more you have not been changed. We all get a new body when we join Jesus- I don’t have tattoos but my joints aren’t always happy!
