My daughter's boyfriend has a tattoo on his forearm stating he is a Type1 diabetic.  His mom suggested it so that when he goes into diabetic shock and is in the ER unable to speak, medical professionals know why.

I don't have any tattoos.
Context matters here, which the OP grossly fails to understand.
Some tattoos can be a mortal sin, while others are not a sin.
My opinion is that tattoos reveal a worldly spirit to some degree, and there is nothing really original or creative about them. They're permanent human cattle tags identifying worldly spirits of persons at the time they received the tattoos, but that doesn't mean they're still that way. There are sincere converts to Catholicism who were previously neo-pagans with tats.

When I see Gen X, Millennials and younger with a bunch of tattoos, I see a walking joke.
The old school bikers with tattoos, yeah, they were the real deal but still caught up in the wrong spirit.

The question should be, whether Tattoos are grave matter, or are per se grave matter, but not whether "Tattoos are a mortal sin".

People with health issues used to wear a bracelet that indicated what the issue was, fortunately it was easily removed.
