Tattoos and mental illness

[Nay_Sayer]

Currently, 6 on my arms and I plan on getting more.

Clean bill of mental health.

Never got so much as a ticket let alone arrested.

Pretty normal sex life but for the last 5 years just the one partner.

I personally don't care for tatoos, my skin is littered of naturally occuring ones, meh.

I don't think that study is correct. If anyghing for the fact that people ink. I see no big deal.

I hope this stigma continues. Makes having tattoos more exciting.

I saw more tattoos at the beach in the almost 3 months we were there than I'd ever seen in every day of my whole life put together. All subjects, shapes, colors, sizes, parts of body. Seemed to be on people of all walks of life. I figured the biggest correlation would be the amount of skin showing...

Me?
One tiny tattoo, subject is a semi-colon, less than a year ago.
No criminal record---not even a traffic ticket and I have been a licensed driver for 44 years.
Sex---more than my share in teen years, "enough" to keep me happy most of the 35 years of marriage.
Mental state? Depends on who you ask I guess.

Four tattoos, several sex partners, but prefer monogamy. No jail time. Definite mental illness.

I sincerely doubt tattoos have anything to do with our mental health. You'd need a worldwide study of vast proportions for me to believe it.

One tattoo, zero jail time, I can count on two hands how many people I have had sex with, and definite mental health issues.

The only real correlation between tattoos and mental health seems to be that (unless you're Maori), getting your face tattooed is a pretty good indication that you're teetotal, fucknuts crazy.

Extreme body modders laugh at mere tattoos.

Watch out. Face tattoos will be seen as relatively normal in the next 20-30 years. Between the amount of social influence that many hip hop artists have (who are the successful ones with face tats), and the gradual acceptance of tattoos in more visible places, I fully expect it to be just another place people get tattooed by the half-century.

I don't give a fuck what people do to their bodies, but face tattoos look like shit on 90% of people who get them.
