(FOX 26) - Do you have any tattoos? Turns out, they are good for your health!

A study at the University of Alabama found that getting tattoos may boost your immune system.

Because getting a tattoo is painful and stressful, your body reacts by boosting your immune system.

If you keep getting tattoos, your body builds up its defenses even more.

So ultimately, the more you get, the better.

Read more about the study here.
