    I’m general I agree, but I draw the line at face tattoos. If you have face tattoos I assume you are dumb as sticks.

    Or you’re a degenerate who lives with someone who owns a tattoo gun and you’re the guinea pig for them to practice on.

    All I think is “oh, that person is either a tattoo artist (and friends with a bunch of them too), or good friends with one”. But thats just based off of my own experience, the people I know that are heavily inked are all tattoo artists or married to one.

    Tattoos also apparently taste bad, so they are also good at risk management, as they’re avoiding cannibals

        Avoiding becoming long pork is as valid reason as any I suppose hah

        serious answer

        I think a lot of it was for identification of bodies if they are otherwise disfigured in death :3… as well as other things like superstition, or marking important achievements ^^

      Eh, I’d argue it’s actually the exact opposite of good risk management. They’ve spent a lot of time and money mitigating something that’s extremely unlikely to ever pose a problem. They should take a step back and reevaluate that risk matrix, maybe get a second opinion on it too.
