    he makes a valid argument, just not the one he was trying to make.

      yeah, the simple answer would be that you don’t need a doctorate to tattoo, and I would assume most tattoo shops can’t exactly support an anesthesiologist financially.

        Add that it would be against the Hippocratic oath for a doctor to practice medicine as part of a business that is intentionally wounding you to put ink under your skin.

          Nah, cosmetic surgeons exist, and they aren’t inherently violating professional ethics. Tattooing would be the same kind of elective procedure as breast implants or facelifts.

          Also, the Hippocratic oath isn’t what people think it is, nor is it even done on a wide basis at this point as an actual oath.
