Tattoos introduce permanent chemical exposure to the immune system by injecting complex mixtures of pigments, heavy metals (such as nickel, chromium, cobalt, and occasionally lead), and organic compounds like azo dyes and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons directly into the dermis.
Unlike surface-applied substances, these particles are recognized as foreign by the immune system. Macrophages and other immune cells attempt to engulf and clear them, but often trap the pigments instead, contributing to the longevity of tattoos. Some compounds may degrade over timeβparticularly under sunlight exposure or during laser removalβpotentially forming toxic or carcinogenic byproducts, though definitive long-term cancer risks in humans remain under investigation.
Pigment particles frequently migrate via the lymphatic system and accumulate in draining lymph nodes, sometimes persisting for years (as documented in human biopsies). This can lead to documented issues like allergic reactions, chronic inflammation, itching, swelling, and granulomasβespecially with red, yellow, and orange inks.
A groundbreaking 2025 study using a murine model provides deeper insight into systemic effects: commercial tattoo inks (black, red, and green) drain rapidly into lymph nodes within minutes, accumulate over months, and trigger sustained low-level inflammation. Ink uptake by macrophages induces cell death (apoptosis), potentially impairing local antimicrobial functions. When vaccines are administered in tattooed areas, immune responses vary by type: mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines showed reduced antibody production (linked to decreased spike protein expression in affected macrophages), while UV-inactivated influenza vaccines elicited an enhanced response in some cases, highlighting vaccine-specific interactions.
These findings do not indicate that tattoos render vaccines unsafe overall, but they demonstrate that tattoo inks are biologically activeβfar from inertβand can modulate immune signaling beyond the skin. Human lymph node biopsies from tattooed individuals confirmed similar pigment accumulation and inflammation even years later. The researchers stress the need for further human studies, stricter ink regulation (noting patchy global controls, with the EU imposing tighter restrictions on hazardous substances), and awareness of potential risks from chronic exposure in immune-critical organs.

This Chinese guy went to his grandmother's village to spend a few days.
Upon seeing that he still hadn't gotten married, the grandmother started harassing him with a dance, repeating -JiΓ©hΕ«n- (get married) and undulating movements.
One day, she even called her friends to put more pressure on him.

This is an unpublished index I use to track Bitcoin cycles.
After 2022, financial conditions stayed tight as the Federal Reserve drained liquidity and the Treasury flooded markets with debt, even as the dollarβs surge faded. Bitcoin advanced anyway, lifted by ETF access and a favorable political environment. With liquidity already near cycle lows, future market risk skews toward upside as conditions gradually ease.

The US and China are the only two superpowers.
Russiaβs economy is smaller than Italyβs, and a large portion of its GDP ends up in the offshore accounts of Putinβs cronies.
Europe can and will deter Russia. Russia is not even able to progress in Ukraine, a very poor country.
