Tattoos is a purely decorative procedure that can painfully be removed over a period of time. There is no medical or health reason for it.
Circumcisions are medical and health procedure. Similar to tonsils, wisdom teeth, and appendix. Completely different.
Tonsils, wisdom teeth, and appendix are removed for present medical problems. Unless you're volunteering for submarine duty, wisdom teeth aren't typically extracted by scrupulous dentists unless a visible medical condition requires it. My wife, for example has all her teeth, and never had a problem with her wisdom teeth. Being an adult, I made the choice to turn in my wisdom teeth to buy genuine Navy Submarine Ride tickets, good for six years.
Foreskins are removed willy-nilly, if you'll pardon the pun, and almost never have an indicated medical issue to justify the surgery.
