Not so much a modern day practice though, tattooing in one form or another has been around for centuries. I remember during my Merchant Navy days being docked in Liverpool in 1969, we took on a crew of about 30 deck hands, stewards, engine hands etc. Most of them were plastered in tattoos, others had bones in their nose, a right motley crew. 6 of them jumped ship in Auckland and were never seen again, probably still out there.
I had a good fishing mate from Pencader, sadly no longer with us, spent many happy hour fishing the river Teifi with him. .He bought quite a large fish tank and decided he wanted to keep trout in it, placed it in his front room, filled it with water and off we went to catch a few trout. Returned an hour later and put 3 trout in the tank, which had no top cover. They seemed quite happy in there for about 15 minutes but then suddenly became very erratic and jumped about 2 feet up in the air out of the tank and were flapping about on his carpet. Bit of a pointless tale but fish tanks alway remind me of him, he was completely mad.😀
I was brought up in a semi religious household, my mother being a devout Christian and my father not I simply couldn’t make sense of religion and still can’t. As far as banning religion is concerned there is very little chance of that happening, especially in large countries like America where religion is still very popular.The attached article although 20 years old explains the benefits of religion. https://www.heritage.org/civil-society/report/why-religion-matters-the-impact-re
