Yeah, you're right. It just seemed like the whole "get random words tattooed in kanji" fad had passed. Take it from a survivor of the tribal tattoo era.
No idea. They probably don't know either. But here's some links if you're interested. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/tattoos-may-increase-blood-cancer-risk-by-21#No-need-to-worry,-best-to-be-aware-of-tattooing-risks
> They found a 21% increased risk of lymphoma in people who had tattoos, compared to those who did not.
and here's another. https://newatlas.com/health-wellbeing/american-tattoo-inks-contain-harmful-unlisted-ingredients/ It's paywalled, but here's the abstract:
> This study analyzes inks from nine different brands that are common in the United States, ranging from major to small manufacturers. Out of 54 inks, 45 contained unlisted additives and/or pigments. Major, unlisted adulterants include poly(ethylene glycol), propylene glycol, and higher alkanes. Many of the adulterants pose possible allergic or other health risks.
and a quote from the article.
> Here’s what the researchers found:
* Polyethylene glycol (PEG) was the most common unlisted additive. While it’s regularly used to treat constipation, prolonged exposure to PEG can cause harmful effects, including kidney or heart failure.
* The second most common was propylene glycol, associated with skin irritation and allergic reactions.
* Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), a food preservative that can disrupt the endocrine system, impacting testosterone levels and affecting sperm quality. In addition, it may cause liver enlargement, kidney dysfunction, and lung inflammation.
* Hexamethylenetetramine, an antibiotic commonly used to treat urinary tract infections.
* 2-phenoxyethanol, an antimicrobial agent. Though rare, there have been cases of contact dermatitis and hives following exposure to this substance. The US FDA has warned against nervous system problems and diarrhea with nursing infants exposed to 2-phenoxyethanol by their mothers.
* 1-butanol. An alcohol commonly used as a solvent and fuel and reported to irritate eyes, lungs, and skin following repeated or prolonged exposure.
The initial study that I referred to has apparently had follow up research and the risks are far greater than I thought. I left that study out, as I think two links are enough for one comment.
Here's one last thing though, from another study.
> Cases from a 15-year period were reviewed (1997–2012). The cases were drawn from the author's experience as a deputy medical examiner and pathologist in Linn County, Iowa, and adjacent or nearby counties. All cases with satisfactory records and reports were reviewed. Exclusions were
made when key data, such as the cause of death, nature of tattoos observed, or toxicology results, were not available. Only adults (18 years or older) were included in the tattooed and non-tattooed groups.
and that leads to:
> The mean age of death for tattooed persons was 39 years, compared with 53 years for non-tattooed persons (P = .0001). There was a significant contribution of negative messages in tattoos associated with non-natural death (P = .0088) but not with natural death. However, the presence of any tattoo was more significant than the content of the tattoo.
Just something to consider. Best wishes.
I’ll DM you my instagram and we can get you set up
Why would you tattoo the word "Ocean" on your body?
Because I love the ocean and I like how kanji looks
You could say that about any tattoo. Just let people get what they want and respect them all ☺️

About 30% of tattoo inks contain known carcinogens. Be very selective in the inks you allow to be used on yourself.
