kinda, but the system is not perfect.

oversimplifying but in every person there are tradeoffs about attacking things inside yourself (viruses, cancer, etc) and outside things (parasites, bacteria, etc) and your genetics influences this. See the old Th1/Th2 balance
anyway it was probably a typo on his part, he's such a sleepy guy..

Some people have allergies to some inks. You definitely want to check with your artist and check what inks they use before getting a piece. There's still an outside shot that you'll end up with an allergy, which can be made worse with sun exposure.
It's a risk. A very small one. You gotta figure out your tolerance for risk.
Tattoos are fine. There's some evidence that maybe, maybe, immune system responses can be impacted by tattoos. But changes in immune system response does not necessarily mean impaired or negative.
