The person that posted this on Facebook is a mother with teenage boys, I'm sure she was doing research to counter the peer pressure her kids are under. She takes care of herself, and as I understand it her boys are quite athletic. Nothing come out of a box at her house, no processed foods and I think some in her family are vegan, vegetarian or some other restrictive diet.
If someone is interested in living healthy, saving the planet or whatever, maybe the tattoo situation needs closer examination. I mean how does putting lead and mercury into your body help save the whales?

Exposure to these metals and toxins can place an extreme burden on the liver and the other detox organs. Studies show that the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons have been found stored in the lymph nodes of tattooed people causing them to actually turn black. Many of the heavy metals, like lead and mercury, are also considered to be neurotoxins that can affect cognitive function and cause brain fog, fatigue, and many other symptoms. While the damage of these toxins individually to our health is well-studied, the research on the long-term effects of tattoos is still in its infancy.
