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.

There may be some connection between God rejection and personal body alterations, abuses, and tattoos.

Why do people desecrate their bodies with tats?

It's not desecration, it's decoration.

Where are they that the median age of death is 53?

I'm virtually covered in ink, BTW.

I think that people desiring tats tend to lean toward those who desire self harm

After all, it hurts, it could possibly infect you, and it hits you hard in the pocketbook as well, cuz they are expensive.

So, they are a little nutty as a baseline, causing them to live a shorter life span.

They often gravitate toward piercings as well, and for the same reason.

Not self harm but definitely higher risk things like motorcycles, extreme sports and dangerous occupations.

It's not desecration, it's decoration.

Those who honor Gd are much less likely to desecrate His work. Find me observant Jews who have tattoos.

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.

I never said the dangers cannot be mitigated. I said that there is a correlation between people who get tatoos and engage in other risky behavior like drinking and motorcycles. THIS is why the average lifespan of a tattooed person is shorter than the average of one who doesn’t.

Ick. You make poor choices everywhere, it seems.

What sounds like a better use of $500?

- getting a tattoo

- driving into DC, staying a couple of nights in a mid-range hotel, and doing a weekend of museum-hopping. One day would be the American History Museum, which I never get tired of, and the other day would be at the Law Enforcement Museum where they have a new exhibit about the DC sniper.

I just can’t decide.
