Tattoos and mental illness

[Aegon]

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.

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.

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.
