Let's set the facts straight.. I can't necessarily hate tattoos because unfortunately I have a couple, (one on each upper arm) that I received 14 years ago, long before I was ever introduced to DSCI. Both are small, so they are fairly easy to cover up.
What I have a problem with is the excessive amount of tattoos people get today. half sleeve, full sleeve, whole back, head to toe covering, etc. Brother Ryan is still in the process of getting more, which he has them head to toe, plus the gawd awful gauges he has in his ears..

At what point do you cease in covering your entire body and pretty much not look like a White man anymore, but an inked colored man??
Sometime in the future I plan on getting mine removed with the laser removal process, but that ain't cheap and I simply don't have the cash to get it down at this moment.
I've read up on what is in tattoo inks and there's no way any of it can be healthy no matter how cool the artwork may look like..
Way back in the day, traditional tribal tattoo marks were made using dyes from the natural environment. This is certainly not the case any more. While it’s near impossible to say what’s in all tattoo inks (they are all different, and disclosure of ingredients is not actually enforced), it’s safe to say that most colours of standard tattoo ink are derived from heavy metals.
Mercury = red ink
Lead = yellow, green, white ink
Cadmium = red, orange, yellow ink
Nickel = black ink
Zinc= yellow, white ink
Chromium = green ink
Cobalt = blue ink
Aluminium = green, violet ink
Titanium = white ink
Copper = blue, green ink
Iron = brown, red, black ink
Barium = white ink
Other compounds used as pigments include antimony, arsenic, beryllium, calcium, lithium, selenium, and sulphur. Tattoo ink manufacturers typically blend the heavy metal pigments and/or use lightening agents (such as lead or titanium) to reduce production costs.
