Problem is that ink can leak into your retina which as we all well know, is just a hole that goes into the back of your eye and your brain. Ugh.

Even those crazy bastards didn't just stab the needle straight through their eye in the RETINA. You put the needle through and across the outer surface of the cornea so the ink doesn't go anywhere else. Except make an oddworld tattoo of that...and um getting an Abe tattoo on your back. I think the best possible oddworld tattoo, if you really had to get one, would be one of the mudokon facial expressions cartoon ones. It's not so in your face and probably more socially acceptable.

Why do you cherish so much social opinion?
Did you lack self awareness or there is some other possible reason?
If he whant to do something slightly unusual i can't see nothing wrong.
I don't whant tis world to become a boring one and as long as i can tell more etic=less freedom=more boredom.
For me, as long as you don't cause harm to someone else, all is fine.

Yeah, except causing harm to oneself is also a concern, and tattoos have such a grand scope for regret.

That's true but it will be also true for almost every single choice a person can make.

Uh, not really, no.

My decision to have cheese in my sandwich today will stick with me for the rest of my life.

Not be too much of a dick, but I find that having the guy who claims that he can perform shamanic rituals that would put "normal" people into comas, lecturing about self awareness to be quite funny.

True dat, true dat but then...he can make himself self aware with his shamanistic powers right?

you should follow the ending not a paramite
