Does getting more #tattoos actually increase our health?

Hey everyone! After reading an article recently on CNN, Jon asked me to cover the topic of tattoos making a person stronger by giving them a stronger and healthier immune system. In today's video, I cover the topic of how common things in tattooing can make us feel weakened, for example, tattoo removal and 'tattoo flu' but how a current study is actually making connections that the more often you are getting tattooed, the stronger a person is building their immunity.

You look very pretty in this vid. Like you new look.
Ive been playing Junes Journey for like 6 months. Lol The puzzles are fun.
Do you plan on getting more tattoos ? Qcknd
wow I can’t believe Jon is gonna win an Oscar for best supporting actor
Standing ovation for you and Jon's "June's Journey" bit. This is how I want all sponsors presented now.
I fight off diseases with my numb chucks
your deer leg numb chucks?
My boyfriend and I literally laughed so hard at the way that the ad was filmed that we couldn’t even hear the ad.
momma quack looking like a momma snack
IKR🖤🖤🖤
lol i was on the phone with my boyfriend while watching this and he said "imagine that tattoos really do boost immunity... in the future, instead of anti-vaxx moms, it'll be anti-TAT moms"
See mom? It's GOOD FOR ME
P.s that neckalce is really pretty
hahaha i just listend to Quack Attack. Kwikity quack might be one of the best samples i have ever heard :D
aw thanks! I'm glad you liked it 😊
Qck, the little self marketing bit at the beginning reminded me that I'm overdue for rewatching your 'Can I Cure My Bad Luck?' video. People, if you're looking for a video to watch after this one, please do yourselves a favor and go watch that one. It's SO good, you won't regret it. If you do, you're welcome to blame me.
“Both my only friends” 😆 I feel that
So when I was getting blood work done, I had a doctor tell me that having tattoos and piercings lowered your immunity at all times. She also went on a huge rant though about heaven and hell and Buddha when I said the blood work was for gender affirming surgery. Also, she said I was "super healthy and everything looked good" until I mentioned it was for those reasons. Sooooooo I feel like she was just saying bullshit to make it look like I wasn't healthy enough for surgery. That's all I've got though in terms of tattoos and immunity. My tattoos have healed better and quicker over the years, but I also used to have an eating disorder and I'm a lot healthier now so I assumed it was for those reasons. *Big shrug*
sounds like run of the mill transphobia, from my point of view! I’ve encountered doctors like that too. I’m on T and have also gotten top surgery. It’s ironic how some of the most so-called “spiritual” and “open-minded” people are transphobic. A lot of them believe that the soul is what “really” matters, unless you bring up trans people. Then suddenly your physical body is the end-all-be-all of everything. I just don’t understand how someone could believe in an unseen, all-knowing higher power and things like multiple dimensions, but they can’t accept that trans people exist (& always have)
I’ve been getting tattooed every couple weeks for like two years now and I feel like I never get sick anymore. I used to get sick all the time and now I never do. I also fully agree that it gets easier to heal the more you do.
I felt like I never got sick when I was an IV drug user, now I feel like I get every cold that comes around. Probably because I was constantly putting gross stuff into my bloodstream. Also now I'm actually taking proper care of myself so I probably notice colds and stuff more..
YOUR FALL LOOK IS EVERYTHING 😍 burnt orange eyeshadow and hair ? yaaAAASSS
I'd have to question whether simply aging was the reason for your friends getting better immune systems. We need a bigger sample size! Also, comparing getting tattooed to going to the dentist is exactly how I've always described it.
I don't think that could be the case because these are people in their 20's and 30's... You have a weaker immune system as a little kid but by the time you're a teenager you should have an adult immune system basically. Like someone who's 25 isn't going to have a radically different immune system from 5 years ago without something spurring it on. That's my understanding anyway.
Generally your immune system gets weaker with age, hence why elderly people are more prone to illness, and are at greater risk of death following flu and other disease that are rarely deadly in younger adults
@@sophienobes3227 yeah but isn't that when you're like, older older? like, as i said, Qcknd's friends are in their 20's and 30's, your immune system isn't already weakening by then, is it? I assumed it didn't start to fail until you were in your 50's or so, unless something significant happens to you (contracting an autoimmune disease or getting cancer for example).
D. Tasker no, you’re right. I was more trying to say that, as with other aspects of physical health, it would peak after childhood before dropping off again into old age. I wouldn’t expect the 5/10 year difference Q asked her friend about to cover a period of immune system weakening. I think we were making the same point in opposite ways 😊
@@d.tasker4486 exactly, I mean she said herself that her results don't really mean anything scientific because it's not a big enough control, she just gave it the info because it is interesting and we can do with it what we like.
I'M DYING AT THE AD 😂😂😂
Omg she’s a scientist..... (I love this & all ur content)
Love the clip at the end😂😂😂 I want more skits from you and jon now lol
Love your hair and makeup here. You look stunning!
I have been relatively heavily tattooed for 5ish years. I don't feel like it changed the frequency with which I got sick from when I was in high school to when I had kids. Having kids I get sick more often because they are germ mongers. But, I get sick much less often than my less tattooed husband. So take that for whatever it is.
"Why do I have to drink so much coffee in order to be happy" is such a mood.
I definitely prefer a new tattoo over the flu shot, so I appreciate this argument.
I work in a large office, where there is pretty much at least one sick person at any given time. Basically a petri dish of germs. I am the only person on my team who is heavily tattooed/tattooed at all, and I have to cash out my sick time at the end of the year 'cause I never use it.
My coworker read this article and brought it up to me a couple weeks ago!! Almost everyone at my work is tattooed so it was definitely interesting to here about & I’m super glad you’re making a video about this!
I really like your approach - honest to yourself, and just discussing possibilities & your own experience
Both of my only friends...🤣
I swear this is true. I work as a teacher and they're always sick but I haven't had a sick day in 3 years. I get tattooed regularly and it really does help my immune system.
This is such an interesting topic, I’d never even thought about it before. Thanks for sharing!
Wow I think this is my favorite topic you’ve ever covered on this channel; I learned so much and am definitely interested in more! Thanks, Q!
I never heard about that study before! But that makes so much sense. I used to be sick almost every month growing up and in college. But now, even though i still take the bus everywhere i get sick like 3 times a year maybe. Guess i need more tattoos!!
Hey quack! the editing in this vid really balances the amount of info there is to process! Good job and ily
I think there's definitely something to this. I'm heavily tattooed and I don't find myself suffering from colds and flus as much as my non/lightly tattooed coworkers and friends. I'm going to check with my other heavily tattooed friends and see what they say. Thanks for putting this info out here!
I really liked how every time it cut back to Jon there was more stuff he was wearing/around him, that slayed me AND THE CHANGING OF CLOTHES
I love these talks :) Love you, Qcknd!
I love this and completely relate. I have always had these feelings regarding my tattoo healing but wasn’t sure if it was all in my head or not... I guess it is true!
You’re so awesome, I hope to meet you one day! Thank you for teaching me every week
Love your aesthetic in your room!!! I can see your effort and time put into this content we love it 😻
Can we talk about getting tattooed with anxiety on your channel? Anxiety about seeing the stencil, anxiety while getting the tattoo, anxiety about talking, etc?
Just something I struggle with that some of my friends have voiced as well ❤️❤️❤️
not only was this really interesting but wowowow amanda you look so beautiful and also the sponsor part was so funny😭💘
"qcknd b lookin like a baddie". ooh. this was my reaction... xoxo love you amanda! I love your videos- been watching for years, this could be my second comment ever.
TAKE ME ON JON'S JOURNEY
My new tattoos are so much easier to heal. I’ve been getting consistently tattooed for about 3 years. I feel like it could be true, I’ve only gotten sick twice in the last 4 years.
Loved everything about this vid ♥️♥️ thanks for making my day, Q ✨🎃♥️
Omg, the commercial part with you and Jon KILLED me! 😂🖤
Been loving your different content ❤
I've always wondered about this! I used to be sick 5-6 times a year.....usually a cold or strep throat. I was planning on getting my tonsils out it was so bad. I was always on antibiotics.
At this point I had 1 med and 2 small tattoos.
Then I got a large tattoo.....and a half back piece within 2 years. I was only sick 2x a year or so.
Now I have a sleeve + the others and work as a professor (always around many students at a public college) and I have not had a cold in years......while my poor husband gets sick 4x a year still (he has 2 med tattoos). I don't catch his colds, or it is rare if I do.
I often travel (to conferences and for vacation) and don't come down with anything (besides judegmental tattoo side eye) even after plane rides.
I try to eat well.....but I eat meat and drink energy drinks almost daily....I know. Trash.
But I think there may be some interesting research that could be done!
Great thoyght inspiring video 💚💚💚
I honestly never thought about it but since my back was beat up a few times....yeah I have not had the flu and my colds have been very few and far between, even when people around me are sick I manage to survive. Great video!
I’m a moderately tattooed person (sleeve, chest, a couple on the legs and nape) and I get sick ALL THE TIME! Come to me tattoo immunity!!
I think that this is really interesting especially having an autoimmune disorder, something to think about as I get more heavily tattooed
I have a chronic autoimmune disease as well! I'm super curious to see if they do more research on the "tattoo effect and increased immunological response" on individuals with chronic and autoimmune diseases. I also plan on getting more tattoos.
Did you guys experience trouble with healing? I have an autoimmune disorder and really wanna get a tattoo but am afraid it will heal poorly bc of it!
Everybody around me are worried for my health because i take one tattoo a year. It has made me feel awful and wonder if it really is bad for me. Thank you for talking about this, i really need to search this thing more now that it doesn't scare me anymore!
Btw, i just bought your new merch shirt and can't wait to get it! Thanks for being awesome 🖤
ON POINT!! From the polish to your necklace etc 😘
I’ve only been getting tattooed for 2 years and I stopped experiencing the itch about a year in.
I just started university and with it being flu season I am surrounded by germs Everywhere, but I haven’t gotten sick! Like hardly a cough or a runny nose! I was just thinking about this the other day and I totally believe the theory presented here.
Thanks Quack! ❤️
Looking beautiful! Love the makeup matching your hair !
Happy you got this sponsorship!!! Cute skit :) also another factor I'm thinking could be age? Building immunity over time and from being sick in the past too.
It’s so crazy how much this makes sense. My tattoos heal faster now and I feel like I never get sick anymore and I used to get sick 3 times in the fall/winter.
My friend lost a kidney after being shot, and was told not to get any more tattoos! I didn’t understand why but it makes sense now
Omg! That’s so interesting, I always used to catch colds easily but since getting tattooed (only got 3 atm) I have not been ill nearly as much, especially with the cold.
All of this makes soooo much sense, wow. I just thought my tattoos healing faster now was due to different artists or other circumstances. Same thing about what you said about aftercare: I just thought I became more careless but I honestly don't have to do anything to them anymore so I don't. I recently got a giant backpiece done two days before hopping on a 18 hour flight. Even that same day I could just sit and lean on chairs just fine, while I remember my shoulder (first big tattoo) I was aching for daaaays. Crazy.
So agree with tattoos healing faster with age! I noticed it this past year, thought I was imagining it at first, as well 🌹
All the (really cool!) science in this video makes me want a TTT about tattooed scientists. I'm a palaeontologist (I study dinosaurs, dead things and fossils) and I know so many palaeontologists with tattoos, including myself, (from a single ammonite to a fully tattooed guy with raptor claws for feet) and I reckon so many other scientists must have tattoos of their field of study! The fun thing with palaeontology is that the field is moving so quickly that if you get a tattoo of something ever so speculative that in a couple of years it could be an outdated reconstruction (especially now we are uncovering the colours of dinosaurs and other extinct organisms).
This is literally THE orange lipstick I've been looking for. What is it? I'm in love 😍
“and fruit and pineapples”
You are so precious ❤️
I also tense up badly in the dentist chair and funnily enough it's yoga breathing that helps me get thru it, I have to keep reminding myself to relax while doing the deep breathing =) In the tattoo chair I find myself arching my back after the first 2 ish hours and have to keep reminding my self to not do that! Love your look today, fresh for fall! and that ad for the game was hilarious and perfect. As far as the immunity I can see it both ways - on one hand the wounds should cause you to have lower immunity but on the other hand healing should make you stronger.....mmmm science is strange to me and our bodies are miracles
Love seeing one of my favorite books in the bg of so many of your videos lol
that FLAWLESS ad read though 😩👌
" w h a t a r e y o u p l a y i n g "
Such an interesting topic!!
Omg the ad at the end was brilliant 😹
It's truuuue, I used to get sick ALL the time and now my boyfriend gets sick often and I never seem to really catch it
I definitely caught the flu when I got a large hip piece done, (below my pantry line to my waist), however I know I got it from some old guy at the grocery store. I’m getting my ribs done this fall. So stoked and yet so scared! Oh, Sawbones (a historical/medical podcast) has a tattoo episode, so you might check it out. Very interesting topic, great job! 👍
I've noticed this since I've been getting tattoos over the years but also attributed my good immune system to my vegan diet. I have also noticed most of my heavily tattooed friends and people I notice seem to look younger and age better in general.
This is really interesting. I always wondered if my tattoos would weaken my immune system. I hope I finally stop getting that itch though.
Love that Hoya in the background!
This video is super interesting. I also think maybe the proximity to the heart (increased blood flow) plays a part. As well as the movement of the body part, like elbow and knee ditches 😊
I’ve only been tattooed by one artist (he’s done 30 pieces on me over the course of 3 years) and I remember feeling tattoo flu haaaaard after my first 5 tattoos. My most recent 5, I moisturized like once a day for a week, no itch like you said, and they healed much much faster that my earlier pieces. I also never get sick! I’m also a v strict vegan
I definitely think my newer tattoos have healed significantly faster than when I first started getting tattooed. Sometimes I’m even surprised when it’s mostly healed after about 4 days. It’s so crazy to me. There is one particular issue I’ve had with a tattoo. The healing process was rough despite it being exactly how I’ve healed all my others. And this was a different artist that I had never been to before. I’m unsure of what happened, but for details understand that this tattoo is entirely raised, is so dark and black that people ask if it’s fresh all the time, and there are some spots where the ink is missing. It makes me wonder if it had something to do with the artist’s heavier hand or if my immunity was trash at the time of being tattooed. Regardless it’s the only tattoo like that and since then I’ve had zero issues healing any and they mostly heal within a few days.
I think it’s interesting that you pointed out that your new tattoos don’t really itch during healing anymore. I noticed after my last big piece I haven’t experienced itching during healing with any subsequent tattoos. I’m super thrilled about that because it used to keep me up at night and it was pure torture. In my opinion the itchy phase is the worst part of getting a tattoo aside from the actual pain of it.
That was awesome!
I have an auto-immune disease, I rarely get sick in the traditional sense, even though I take a lot of different drugs that weaken my immune system. So not being sick isn't really the best way to gauge things, but I did find this an interesting topic.
Bro wth this is crazy! I’ve only gotten sick once this year, and it was only three weeks ago! I have noticed that I’ve been getting less sick, and I thought it was because I’m vegan. But it makes so much sense that it’s because of all the tattoos I have. My most recent tattoo healed in 5 days, and my friend who just got his third tattoo healed in 2 weeks!! Although I know that this is mostly a theory, it’s nice to hear this info today bc I’m getting surgery tomorrow. And I am now expecting to heal pretty quick :) thank you for all the work you put in your videos!
I started to getting regularly tattooed in June 2017 - the shortest pause between two tattoos was 5 months since then until the present. (I got my very first tattoos in 2011 and 2012 and didn't get any new ink until 2017.) The last time I was ill was in January 2017 and I haven't been even a bit sick since then. I think I will believe this. 😂 Actually I was rarely sick since I turned 15 (12 years ago). But as a child I was ill all the time.
HAVEN'T EVEN WATCHED THE VIDEO BUT OMG YOU LOOK SO GOOD GIRL SORRY FOR THE AGGRESSIVE COMMENT I FEEL LIKE IT'S NECESSARY
I love the sponsor skit! 😂😂❤
My Mentor once told me that he knew a guy in the 80's who was getting tattooed every day for nearly a year. His tongue began to stain blue from supposedly the vast amounts of ink being pushed into his body. I don't know how true any of that is though haha
Yay!!! TATTOO TALK TUESDAY IS BACK!!!!!
Having been at dentist yesterday- and tat/piercing shop day prior- I find my shoulders going up to my ears with tension But then again, after sitting for after an hour, I can relax and “zone” out- kind of go into my own head/world and just deal with the pain. I can even fall asleep. Both at dentist or tats. Oddly tho I haven’t had a tat since may- the itch isn’t there as much... idk why. I still have space...
I love the idea that tattoos are making my immunity stronger but I also wonder about all the other variables, like diet, exercise etc. I just thought my immune system is getting better due to what I’m putting in my body, but like ok tattoos if you gone help me, OK IM HERE FOR IT.
So this is super interesting and as research progressive I'll be really interested to see if they begin to analyze how highly tattooed/immunological responses affects individuals with chronic autoimmune diseases. I'm a "barely tattooed" person/collector. I only have two small ones and intend to collect more as the years progress but I also have Crohn's Disease (Inflammatory Bowel Disease, autoimmune disease) due to hereditary factors.
Best ad in town! 🧡
This is the best sponsored video I've ever seen
Thanks! Now I have an excuse to get more tattoos hahaha
Omg that sponsor segment lmfao
Yes Jon come thru!!!!
For any Biology major this would be excellent study to do! There aren’t nearly enough studies on tattoos. I would love to do this research but I’m a sociology major, so wrong science 😅
that ad! hahaha dying.
It would be really cool if you linked the studies Qck
i loveee your channel
I'm married to a tattoo artist, and actually had to STOP getting tattooed as it has weakened my immunity. Even after the tattoo has healed your body never stops fighting it, as it's something that should not be there. The more you get, the more your body is constantly fighting them and weakening you. It's not something to happens to everyone, but those with already weak immune systems should be careful. I got 5 tattoos within 2 years, and have gotten sicker in these 2 years than I can ever remember. I never have skin reactions and everything is done very hygienically, its just how your body reacts since it never truly heals from the inside. Something to think about. I love tattoos, but had to say goodbye.
Your use of sponsored product placement is so hipster cute, and like you created the most direct "marketing" ad at the end of your video that most people would try to sneak into their video in some nondescript way but I love how you awkwardly and purposefully engage the viewer with a product advertisement in a way that almost seems ironic but also genuine. Anyway I love your video, if you read this could you please consider making a vegan extreme couponing video? Love you
Hmm.
I do get sick less than before getting tattooed, but I had also quit smoking only a year prior and that probably had a bigger role to play in things.
Hello from Los Angeles 💕💕💕
The human body is like insanely clever. Once you've had a bug your body stores the immunological response to it. So if you get it again your body already knows what to do. It's part of the reason we have tonsils. :)
I think someone from the University of Alabama published a paper on this topic. A few friends of mine have sent it to me because I graduated from there and have a good amount of tattoos lol. Very interesting but I have yet to read the actual paper haha
growing up, i got sick ALL THE DAMN TIME. never thought about the fact that ive literally been sick twice in the last 4 years (the time ive been getting tattooed)
Haha my Nana plays that game on her computer 😂. We used to play it together when I was younger.
