I'm an active member on a website for tattoos (InkedNation.com)
Several idiots attempt a miserable exertion at making me look like an imbecile by making my lifestyle look like a sham.
People like to inform me that tattoo ink has chemicals in it, which us edge-rs are apparently against.
I find there dedication and effort at making me look naive incredibly amusing, yet insulting at the same time.
I think people need to not underestimate our intelligence.

I'm well aware that tattoo ink has chemicals in it.
Theres vegetable-based glycerine's which makes ink "vegan safe"
And Black bone ink which is made from gridded up animal bones.

Straight edge is a movement, it's a lifestyle that abstains from the use alcohol, smoking, promiscuous sexual intercourse, and other recreational drugs. Straight edge is about keeping your body pure, some people believe that tattoo ink is "poison" but most who live this lifestyle see it as a significant conviction in life and will immortalize it with a tattoo, it's a commitment and dedication.
Being straight edge is about not poisoning your mind, It has nothing to do with showing admiration for your lifestyle.



I would like to know your view on tattoos in the Straight Edge community.
