Removing his nipples and belly button for more tattoos are the only things that strike me as concerning.
Not for the children, but his own welfare. The tattoos are amazing.
Injecting black dye into his eyes you don't find concerning at all?
That is a lot more common than surgery to remove a belly button or nipples. I've known people who had done that with their eyes, so that doesn't seem anywhere near as concerning to me.
Many things are common. It doesn't make them safe or legal. https://www.aao.org/education/clinical-video/scleral-tattoo-gone-wrong
I dont believe I commented at all on legality or safety, only on what I personally consider a concern (surgery).
If you're trying to create an argument, I'm not remotely interested.
I am not creating a argument but merely pointing out that your sense of concern and risk assessment differs from that of most people.
Cool story.
