There are many things you should consider before getting a tattoo: Are you drunk with your buddies in Vegas? Will you regret having it done 10 years from now (or even tomorrow)? Are you getting it done by a sketchy artist in a basement that smells like Funyuns and stale beer and ragrets regrets? Well, add this doozy to the list: Potentially toxic elements in tattoo ink can leech, permanently, into your lymph nodes and cause some nasty side effects, according to new research from the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility....

Recent research has put forth a dubious concept called “metabolically healthy obesity.” Basically, it’s a term used to describe obese people whose metabolism performs like that of a person with a normal weight, and who don’t seem to have signs of health problems that often plague obese people (high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and insulin resistance). But the lack of metabolic problems, also know as metabolic syndrome, may not mean that the lucky few “healthy” obese people are doing fine in the long run, according to a new study published in the European Heart Journal....

There is a massive volcano underneath Yellowstone National Park and it’s feeling frisky. The “supervolcano” could erupt much sooner than scientists initially predicted. And it has the power to wipe out life on earth, according to a National Geographic report.

The answer is yes, says Ilyse Schapiro, R.D., C....

Most of us could stand to lose a few pounds, even it if just five or 10. But it’s often hard to get started when you stick to your same old routines of cooking and eating the same foods, and are just cutting back on calories. To jumpstart your weight loss, a new study says, try dropping the meat and going vegetarian. For the study, which recently appeared in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition, researchers followed 74 people with type-2 diabetes for six months who were put on either a vegetarian diet—veggies, grains, legumes, fruits, nuts, and one low-fat yogurt a day—or one specifically tailored to treat diabetes that included 50% carbs, 20% protein, and less than 30% fat a day....

A CONCUSSED LAYER WONDERS IF THE JUICE IS WORTH THE SQUEEZE OUT AT JAWS During the Jaws Challenge last month, Albee Layer attempted to knife into the barrel on a 30-foot west bowl, only to get guillotined by the lip at the bottom of the wave.

Cover Photo by Michael Schwartz Arriving on newsstands and in the mailboxes of subscribers this week is the November issue of of Men’s Journal, with a cover featuring the very talented and extremely jacked Chris Hemsworth, who’s currently starring for the fifth time as Thor, Norse god of thunder, in Thor: Ragnorok. Elsewhere in the issue, you’ll find features on Kristen Bell, who speaks candidly about her relationship with Dax Shepard (and, yes, her feelings about monogamy), a fascinating piece on the fight to stop the spread of a cheap, synthetic alternative to heroin that’s ravaging Small-Town USA, a complete guide to your bike commute, a story on two divers looking to save 900 miles of caves from breakneck development in the Yucatan Peninsula, and, of course, all the in-depth outdoor gear coverage you’ve come to expect from us over the years....

On Wednesday, 24-year-old climber Alex Megos became only the third person to ascend climbing’s elite 5.15c grade. In sending the “Perfecto Mundo” route in Margalef, Catalonia, Spain, the German climber Megos also becomes the first person to cleanly climb that specific route without falling. I’m incredibly relieved. This has been an important process in my climbing career and clipping the anchor of “Perfecto Mundo”, my first 9b+ as well as getting the FA was an incredible experience....
