Tattoos- Health Risks and Toxic Effects
Tattoos are one of the most popular and prevalent forms of Body Art. The practice of tattooing is centuries old, and is central to some cultures. Much has been written about the hazards of tattooing if practiced under unsanitary conditions. Little attention has been directed however to the potential latent health effects of tattoo inks.
Tattooing has been practiced throughout most of the world, though it is rare among darkly pigmented peoples, and rare in China. Evidence of tattoos has been found in Egyptian mummies over 4000 years old. There is also evidence suggestive of the 5000+ year old Iceman having tattoos. It is thought the word “tattoo” entered English and European languages in 1769, having been recorded by James Cook’s Tahiti expedition. In 1891 the first electric tattoo device was patented in the US.
Interest in tattoos has waxed and waned in US and European cultures. Negative footnotes to tattoo history would be use with prisoners and Nazi concentration camp internees. Religious objection to tattoos can be found in Leviticus 19:28: “You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh on account of the dead or tattoo any marks upon you.”
The practice of tattooing seems to have now become mainstream. Young adults and teens worldwide are having dangerous compounds and chemicals injected under their skin for the sake of body art. The trend started surging in the early 1990s. By 2003 it was projected that 36% of 25- to 29-year olds in the US had at least one tattoo. That makes tattoos a pretty big business.
Nobody Wants To Look Like Angelina Jolie
Famous plastic surgeons of Beverly Hills say that nobody is opting to have hair or face like actress Angelina Jolie but are preferring many other stars like Penelope Cruz, Taylor Swift etc. According to Dr. Richard Fleming and Dr. Toby Mayer's survey more than 1,200 patients would want to have Anne Hathaway’s eyes, Natalie Portman’s nose, January Jones‘ cheeks, Scarlett Johansson’s lips and Halle Berry’s jawline and but none want any features of the most admired beauty Angelina Jolie.
“Angelina Jolie is not anywhere on the list this year,” Dr. Richard Fleming of the Institute of Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery, Beverly Hills told HollywoodLife.com. Angelina Jolie has been on the list from many years and his patients always requested for Rhinoplasty (a plastic surgery treatment) but this time she is no where says the doctor.
Not only Angelina Jolie but many stars like Pamela Anderson known for faked breasts (through plastic surgery) has no longer impressed the patients today. Many patients, according to him, want to look more natural.
I don’t think your breasts should be the first thing people notice when you enter a room.
She”s known for having one of the finest bikini bods around, but Bethenny Frankel has revealed the torment she lived through after a bad breast surgery left her bosom”s less than picture perfect.
After growing increasingly insecure about what she described as her “saggy” bust, the “Bethany Ever After” star decided to go under the knife in 2005 for a breast lift. But, after her surgeon told her that procedure would leave her with “big lollipop scars,” she opted for small implants instead.
Much to the 35-year-old”s dismay, her results weren”t what she had hoped for, as she explained, “They were still saggy – only now they were bigger! I was so uncomfortable. I don”t think your breasts should be the first thing people notice when you enter a room.”
As a working chef with limited funds, Bethenny had to live with the unwanted implants for three more years, but that all changed when she shot to fame on “Real Housewives of New York”.
She told, “The minute I had the money, I was like, Lets do it. Now I feel comfortable. If theres something youre not comfortable with and you can correct it, great.
