If you ever needed a better excuse to get more tattoos, we’ve got one for you.
Tattoos can help boost the immune system and even fight off the common cold.
According to studies (University of Alabama), having multiple tattoos can strengthen a person’s immunological responses.
Each time a person gets inked, the body adjusts to the stress of getting tattoos. A group of volunteers from a tattoo business were selected and tested before and after getting tattoos. Specifically, researchers measured the levels of immunoglobulin A, an antibody, and cortisol, a stress hormone, which suppresses immune response.
So... thinking about getting some INK? It's time to go and make that happen!
