https://t-nation.com/t/the-reason-so-many-bodybuilders-die-early/283383

Some bodybuilders, those using drugs, do die young, but the majority of people who go to gyms aren't bodybuilders and those that are, are natural. Some die from dehydration, but it's a small fraction of those lifting weights.Resistance training is the best training a person can do. Having strong muscles protects your joints from damage, as long as you don't go overboard on the weights. I did that, and paid for it, although I was natural. The more muscle a person has, the more calories they burn, and it's also protection if you get sick. Diet of course is 75% of health so they go together.

4 daughters and one son with tattoos, Daughter here is 8, and I'm sure once she lives back in the US around her siblings, the tattoos will appear, after she leaves the house.

Tattoos and branding was used to identity one's property

Tattoos are for life. If you have ever seen an 80-year-old covered in tattoos you will know how ugly they look as they fade. I know someone who tattooed his girlfriend's name on his arm. Later, they separated, and he found another girl he would later marry. In those days there was no tattoo removal, so he had someone cover it with a tattoo of a bird. Whoopsie.

 

Then there is God.

Leviticus 19:28 in the Old Testament states, "You shall not make any cuts on your body for the dead or tattoo yourselves: I am the Lord."

What a load of crap

How many on your boy friend  

Ha! Sorry, immediately after reading, as an American my mind ran to wondering if the tattoo citation might increase likelihood of being targeted as an MS-13 gang member. You know, all of the symbolic tattoos bearing any semblance of Tatts worn by gang members ... whether you are a member or not, we can arrange for an all expense paid tropical vacation.

Your missing the point that plenty of Tattoos in Thailand have some important buddhist meaning and often enough were suggested by a buddhist monk. And many families would comply with the suggestion.

The monks that have tattoos, isn't that more likely because they've been in prison?

Hey man.   I ain't none of those.    My one and only tattoo was obtained by accident when I was three.   

It hurt like a M.F. and I bled all of over the place.

A vest. Another modest proposal might be to have a section of the forum British English, American English & Australian English.
