And if the argument is there about "medical risks", go check out what tattoos do to the immune system...

And yet we're fine with it because the risks, despite being potentially bad, are low enough. At least with HRT you're involving doctors who will ensure and advise on any potential issues with your specific vessel before and during treatment. Of all the modifications to the body, isn't that exactly how it should be? Access to proper support if you want?
Edit: Also, double-check before you get your first tattoo. It's unlikely, but it does mess with some people, even after removal. It's a part of what doctors are meant to be for.
The body really is like "we've been stung by needles before and now we don't trust them!" regarding vaccines after getting tattooed, that's kinda funny.
Good read btw. they also hint at that in some cases tattoos could boost vaccination results.
Yeah, it seems the more complex the system is involved, the more difficulty it could have, but the more basic, the more it catches on and boosts (with other common externals). Just a guess that I'm probably very wrong about, though.
What's most fascinating is that it took so long to get looked into because we clearly just normalised tattoos for a looooong time with no obvious or common negative effects in history, no one's really ever thought to look into this sort of thing until last year. Of course when they do, "Okay, so this may cause some issues for some people...but, eeeeh, it's mostly fine."
