I hate people with tattoos

I was reading just lately about the ingredients in some of the inks...seems they are not particularly healthy... some are even dangerous to health, but then humans tend to go for things for pleasure that are not necessarily good for one or healthy for that matter.

I hope those tatted hospital workers are good at what they do. Of course in the DIE age how can we be sure. THe medical profession has a way of burying its mistakes.

That's the big problem. Most people are too lazy to do research on what they're putting in their bodies, whether it's tattoo ink, drugs, food, etc. All they want is to live for the moment. The whole "YOLO" culture and all that shit.

Back in the day wearing jeans and having your ears pierced was considered something that only the lower end of society did. Times change.

Honestly, I can't imagine very many of these people holding down any kind of meaningful job. Many of them are spoiled, rich kids who don't work; they just leech off their parents' money. If they do have a job, it's typically something really shady like drug dealing or sex work.

Yes, that's true.

But that doesn't mean people have to.

I think a lot of people began to falsely believe that agencies like the FDA, NIH actually did something worthwhile and worked to protect Americans' health.  Guess we see that is not the case.   Those people got those tattoos before the new undertstanding and face it...some young people don't know it, don't care to know it, never heard it or don't care.  They will.

All this regulation of business, industry, food, medicine, treatment was not for protecting anyone...it was for power and control.

The problem with hospital personnel, at large , regional, medical centers is the fact that many shifts are contracted out to large health organizations..

Travelling nurses...ran into them before.

I really don't think people like employers or others have problems with discreet tats..it is when you get people who don'tknow when to stop. like cosmetic surgery. <chuckle> piercings, amputations trans surgery.
