In nature, poisonous animals like snakes and frogs often have bright colors that warn other animals. Some plants and mushrooms can be the same.

Re tats: I remember the Jimmy Buffet song "a permanent reminder of a temporary feeling." I like good tattoo work, but it has to have important meaning for the person. What I don't get are the full tattoo sleeves like they are in the Yakuza

I don't have a tat, but I'll excuse a drunken sailer or a sober one for that matter getting a small one denoting military service. Other than that...no. Remember the saying, "That Butterfly on Your Back Will Become a Buzzard in your Crack" when you are older.

Geriatric tattoos. They are a thing.

Have tattoos with "Grape nuts" and "Geritol." Well every custom or practice we humans do on ourselves will (with any luck) be geriatric eventually.
