It's a consequence not a causation. Tattoos have always been a way to stand out, typically in a military sense since it also made it easier for you to identify with a group if you share the same insignia.
This easily spread to criminal gangs, most notable of using Tattoos is the Yakuza which is often why people with tattoos are banned from hot springs. You also have the people that take it too far and most of their body is inked but that happens with anything so is a false conclusion.
This isn't a chemical used in tattoos making people more prone to be self destructive or violent but just a byproduct that there's a higher amount of people with tattoos and self destructive behaviour.
But which causes which? A term I never here is "reversing the cause and effect." Well I here it in my head all the time. And it's not the same as "consequence not a causation" which has the effect of absolving all responsibility. And sometimes the cause and the effect, cause and effect each other. Is there a term for that catalytic behavior?
A bit confusing but are you saying that they're so interlinked that they are reacting off each other?
In that case, it'd be very dismissive to claim tattoos cause the self destructive behaviour since they've existed for centuries but the can signify being part of a group and once they have that association then their behaviour may be worse depending on which group they associate with.
I'm not claiming either way. But sometimes the cause is the the effect and vise versa. And sometimes they cause each other in a perpetual loop. My statements were more on the language of causality, and not the topic itself. As it tends to lock one into a singular logic set.
