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.”
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.
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…
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.
Nah I get all that. We’ve had this conversation before and your case is plausible.
I don’t have a firm conclusion on it, and certainly haven’t changed my language usage.
There are likely mixes of genuine and fake involved. It’s still weird, and will take a lot of working out a lot of details to come to any conclusions - the digging I was referring to.
All group study exercises are a little weird. “What makes this guy [job role]?” “Well, he [wear costume] and [know lingo] and [repeat some basic concepts], so [authoritative]”, but that same person will reject a hobbyist with heavy expertise but no costume as less authoritative. Stuff just gets weird in this area, as the practice itself is often essentially trying to define a shade of gray as black or white.
