> I would do it if the company was one I was excited about.

Never would I ever do something like that. Doesn't matter how excited a company makes me, I'm not turning my body into a biological billboard. Different (brush) strokes for different folks I guess.

Even though anatomically it doesn't really work out that way, when I was a kid I always wanted to get a tattoo of a plant along my calf so that it would look like the plant was growing as I got taller over the years.

Tangentially, there are also studies suggesting a possible statistical association between tattoo ink and an increased risk of certain cancers, such as lymphoma. Shocker, subepidermally injected permanent pigments may not be good for you.

There’s probably some downside to drinking 14 cold brews a week, too.

Everything’s a risk if you look hard enough.
