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.

Total including reserves and civilians in the defense industry, yes. About half that number is active, about 1/4 reserves, and 1/4 defense industry civilians.
According to (and I'm not checking how good these sources are so whatever) thegunzone.com 17% of the us mitary is black men.
Thats 2.6million apparently, which means 500,000 in terms of active, reserved, and civilian members of defense. 1.26 million is the active number, or about 225k troops.
83% of that is about 188k active troops with the condition.
Any surgery carries risk, and requires appropriate consideration.
Let's take breast augmentation as an example. There are some folks who will choose to do so because it will help them match their gender, and that makes a lot of sense for their mental well being. There are some folks who have had a mastectomy, and an augmentation (and in many cases a tattooed nipple to finish things off) will help for their mental well being. These are generally one-time surgeries with a clear beneficial outcome.
There are others who will continually go larger and larger and larger, and its actually detrimental to their health and well being, they are often doing so because of other issues of their self image or self worth, and the surgery will never be enough for them. Its even been shown to make those perceptions of their bodies worse, which is why they end up getting surgery over and over again.
My concern here is whether or not he fits in the first group or the second. I sincerely hope he does not have an internal struggle that will drive him to many surgeries, never addressing the actual issue, and making things worse for himself over time.
How it looks is irrelevant to me, if he likes it more power to him. I think his tattoos are incredible, personally.
I just hope he's OK.
Why do I think surgery to remove body parts for additional tattoos is potentially concerning?
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.
The silicone bottoms stack great. I bought the ones I have now around 5 years ago, the old trays didnt make it through a move and cracked.
Rack and some bungee used to be my way to do it.
Hated it every time.
Amcrest are great, but not all of them. Learned that with the stupid ASH-21 I bought.
So check the frigate docs for cameras, there is a great list there.
You could just use a local NFO for artist/album with jellyfin, thats what I do for everything from stuff friends have made to home movies and fanedits.
Sometimes, things don't always stay around on the internet, so if there's something I'll want to watch or listen to again, I keep it local. Or if there is something that should be preserved, like the data dump of patriotfront that is continually seeding.
It relates to my hobbies, too - all of my photos are stored in raw plus my edits. I am also converting all of the VHS tapes my dad recorded of the family over the years and I serve them up to my family on my media server, along with the videos of different things of my kids, like dance recitals.
More recently we've seen the intentional removal of information on the internet specifically with the US government, so where possible I've backed some of that up as well and contributed it to appropriate groups.
Then of course there's music, movies, tv shows, documentaries, books, comics, and so on, even fan created edits of shows and movies like despecialized edition and 4k77, Harry Potter and the deathly weapons, hackers the 56k upgrade, etc.
Its not meant to just hide on a drive, so its all served up with various services I run, such as jellyfin, audiobookshelf, kavita, etc.
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.
