Absolutely. My response is in contrast to almost anyone you talk to, but I speak from personal experience.

About 5 years ago I was on state parole and subjected to a urine test. All samples are sent to a lab, they don't use any of those instant tests. A couple days prior, I forget exactly how many, I had gotten a large tattoo that covered my entire forearm and took a couple hours. The test came back positive for high amounts of opiates, my P.O. said it had to have been either morphine or heroine. I never took any drugs.

After much consideration, I've determined the false positive has to be one of the following:

1. Human error at the lab. I think this is an extremely slip possibility but it can't be ruled out.

2. Being subject to pain for that amount of time, your brain releases a natural pain killer that is very close in chemical composition to morphine or heroine. I have come across some supporting evidence for this, but I can't seem to track down the source again.

The false positive certainly could have been a lab error, but I still wouldn't risk getting a tattoo if you're subject to regular random drug tests.

Hope this helps.

What is the meaning of the tattoo of 2 dots between the thumb and the four finger?

what does it mean? thats an interesting question. You are dealing with people, people that are all different in their thoughts, backgrounds and beliefs. From my experience they are usually 'test' spots from homemade tattooing. My dad and husband both have these and this is their reasoning.


What are the symptoms of synesthesia?

Someone who has synesthesia sees colours in numbers, letters, sound, or other things. There are many different types. Some people with synesthesia feel sounds, see pictures in names, believe numbers have personality, and many more things. You can take a free synesthesia test on synesthete.org . Something else is that the symptoms never change. say that if somebody smells cherries when they see the number 5. He or she will always smell cherries when they see the number 5 it will never change.


What does a crow on a skull tattoo mean?

To me it means a few things combined. The crow represents the bird that was forgotten. A sense of failure, like in the old testiment when Noah sent out a raven and it never returned failing its test, while the dove succeeded and has been long remembered. The skull represents death, whether it be a near death experience or a struggle, or a loved one lost. I have that tattooed with roses underneath to represent the hope you can have by overcoming your struggles. I battled through thoughts of suicide and my tattoo of the crow on top of the skull with roses is a reminder that though I've struggled with thoughts of suicide and failed so many times there's always hope for the ones who have had it rough.
