Why not?

And “desecrate” is pretty melodramatic

No, desecrating your body with pictures is melodramatic. People who are not melodramatic wouldnt care about that.

Nobody gets out of this world alive. Its all relative. And unimportant in the scheme of things.

Abstract​

Objectives:

At autopsy, tattoos are recorded as part of the external examination. An investigation was undertaken to determine whether negative messages that are tattooed on a decedent may indicate a predisposition to certain fatal outcomes.

Methods:

Tattooed and nontattooed persons were classified by demography and forensics. Tattoos with negative or ominous messages were reviewed. Statistical comparisons were made.

Results:

The mean age of death for tattooed persons was 39 years, compared with 53 years for nontattooed persons (P = .0001). There was a significant contribution of negative messages in tattoos associated with nonnatural death (P = .0088) but not with natural death. However, the presence of any tattoo was more significant than the content of the tattoo.

Conclusions:

Persons with tattoos appear to die earlier than those without. There may be an epiphenomenon between having tattoos and risk-taking behavior such as drug or alcohol use. A negative tattoo may suggest a predisposition to violent death but is eclipsed by the presence of any tattoo.

Meh, stands to reason. Considering that criminals love tats and almost every ex-con is inked up it's not surprising.

Wow. That is a distrubing difference. 39 to 53?

correlation doesn't equal causation

Apparently...sometimes it does

. Witnesses told authorities an altercation began at a wine bar after Sehmer confronted Davies about his tattoos, court records said, according to WISN. “My client was weirdly upset about a tattoo – I don’t know why. At some point, my client pokes a finger at him,” defense attorney Scott Schiro said, according to WITI. Sehmer told Davies that “marking up ‘God’s work’ is a sin,” according to a criminal complaint, The Freeman reported.

Schiro said Sehmer was trying to protect himself and Davies fell while trying to lunge at Sehmer with a metal stool, WITI reported. However, a criminal complaint said Sehmer punched Davies, which caused him to fall and hit his head on pavement, WISN reported.

Davies had two skull fractures and multiple brain bleeds, according to medical reports, the news outlet reported. He died almost a month later from his injuries, according to police.

It’s not the tattoos that do it. People who desecrate their bodies like that are also more likely to drink, do drugs, ride motorcycles, etc.

Careful. You're stretching it. I never have seen much sense in adding a Marvel or DC offering to my body--however, I drink moderately and I've been riding motorcycles for over 60 years--as recently as today. I can also point to folks who have never drank a drop of alcohol in their lives nor ridden a motorcycle that have died in the low 60s and less. Let's not go nuts with the generalizations.

You could always point to examples and exceptions.. But certain behavior is definitely more risky and correlated with higher death rates.

Like eating the typical american diet.

As you did. My contention is that while the OP is pointing to the poor choice of introducing a permanent statement on your body and the possible adverse effects from multiple sources--you are claiming an activity, which admittedly can be dangerous, cannot have those dangers mitigated.

Or eating a diet of Top Ramen, eh init?
