I'm still straight edge but am not a kid and decided a while ago that the only sxe band I could be in was X Ink Free Youth X, but everyone has tattoos which are clearly an addiction substitute and poison for your body and mind. I cannot preach about health and well being of myself and others while people are polluting themselves with the crutch of the tattoo gun. A needle is a needle! You right.

I don't follow on the logic of tattoos not being edge...

Most tattoos aren't vegan either since a lot of the inks have bone in them. Aside from that, if you are truly trying to reach a level of purity and live a substance free clean life it just doesnt make sense to put those chemicals and dyes in your body. And let's be real here- there are two sides of straight edge: the personal and the culture. If you are in a straight edge band it's about both and the culture of straight edge demands elitism and puritanical values. It's about bettering yourself but more importantly about making yourself better than others.
X INK FREE YOUTH X

You could literally say the same thing about drinking sodas/tea/coffee or any drink loaded with corny syrup, eating fast food and meat/vegetables that were under steroids or super processed. Why put those substances in your body? Just drink water and eat from farmers markets and unprocessed meat.

I strongly disagree that straight edge is about trying to be better than anyone else.

Dudes are just mad because they are covered in tatts and now realize they are not living a pure clean life. Ink free, drug free, meat free, totally free!!!!!
