Zone1 Should A Child Be Allowed To Get A Tattoo?

[Bored Man Blues]

I don’t get the logic there.

With real tattoos you don’t have to keep spending money and applying them for a year.

You get it, you pay, and you’re done forever

I don’t see what the lesson is here

Really? Do you know how little a bag of rub ons cost?

Yeah, but the lesson seems to be implying that tattoos require lifelong maintenance or something

I'm with you 100%.

I think those temporary water tattoo things are a good idea. Mom and dad should say, "You want us to approve of you getting a tattoo? OK, here's what you need to do. Decide on a design and have it put on you as one of those temp tats. As soon as it starts to fade you must get the exact same one, in the exact same place. If you can keep up with that for one year then I'll give you my consent".

Great idea. You also get some variety when you get tired of the same one.

Also, don't these tats fade later in life? What good is that?

I can't believe I wrote all that. Was I drunk?

Thanks. I realized that right after I typed and was too lazy to amend!

Anyhow, good looking women aren't doing that on the street. The only time I see ass cheeks out of short shorts is fat girls with low self-esteem. Of course, when you're in health food stores around Venice, it's a different story.

Would you let your child get a tattoo?​

Absolutely! As soon as the child turns 18, moves out, gets a job and is responsible for himself and can afford to pay for it himself. Well, to be sure, tats hurt so most kids wouldn't go through with it anyway.

Tattoos and Self-Harm: What’s the Difference? ​

In the context of mental health, tattoos can sometimes blur the line between what’s healthy and what may indicate a concerning behavior. Since body art causes some pain and trauma to the skin, it may seem like a form of self-harm, and some studies indicate a possible overlap. But context is everything when determining the difference between tattoos and self-harm.

I love young women who are in perfect shape and wear spandex pants. Shows off every curve. I mean MY GOD is all I can say when they walk by. It sucks getting older. It really does. I'll never get that ever again in my life. I was with a hot 20 something when I was 50 but I think that's over. Once you cross into your 50's you're now just a creepy old man. A guy in his upper 40's can score with a 29 year old.

I have this cute neighbor she's 21. My 20 something nephews think she has down syndrome big headitis. **** that. She's adorable. But I'm sure when I was her age I wouldn't have been interested because she's a little chubby. OMG she's so ******* hot. At least she is to these 55 year old eyes. Perfect if you ask me.

This is how set in my ways I am though. I thought about this the other night. If I could have that 21 year old, would I want her? I would have to pay for everything. But she will stay with me and take care of me and **** me for the rest of my life. She will not leave me. She will stay loyal, fun, sweet and not get fat. And when I die, she would get everything. My nephews would get nothing. If I could get these guarantees I'd probably do it. But I would not take the chance. And I would not like it that she doesn't work and I have to pay for everything she wants/needs. Like her dad does now. **** that.

She's going to college but doesn't know what she wants to major in or what she wants to do when she graduates. I'm sure what she wants to do is find a husband so she can be a stay at home mom. Seems like a lot of young women who don't know what they want to do go off to college and their parents hope either they find what they want to major in or they find a guy who's going to be really successful.

"Chubby?" Oh, come on. Whenever I hear that, it's code for fat. As in FAT.

you can get them touched up if you want

my tat on my left shoulder is pretty faded at this point. I think its kinda cool, weathered and rugged looking that way. Maybe I'll get it touched up someday if it gets unrecognizable

brighter colors fade more, thats why you see so many with black or that really dark green ink

they don't hurt that bad. I've always been completely capable of holding conversations through the whole thing. Its mild pain and zero lasting trauma

Well, the object is to demonstrate that tattoos are permanent but your taste is not. So ...... don't get them. They are not like changing shirts to keep up with the fashion trend.

That's a huge question. Both my father and my step-father had their names tattooed on their forearm during WW II but later in life you couldn't even read what was written there. I refer to tattoos as "aubergine" because that's what they all will look like eventually.

they could have just gotten them touched up....

20 year old me would say she's not so fat I wouldn't bang her "but she's going to GET fat".

Hell, even 54 year old me said that about her when I first met her.

To me it looked like she lost some weight this summer.

Trust me, naked, even as "chubby" as she was when I first met her, she would have been a TEN for this 54 year old man. I would eat that all day.

Is it just me or do most men not want to eat old *****? Like even if the woman is beautiful, I don't want to eat her old *****. But I do want to eat 20 year old *****. Wonder why that is? Maybe it's pre baby. No baby has been squeezed out of it yet and stretched it out. Or maybe the fact she's probably been with less than a dozen men not dozens of men.

For me the answer is an obvious NO. Until a child becomes eighteen they shouldn't be in charge of what they do to their own bodies. Whether it be puberty blockers or tattoos.

Like transgender issues, the schools should be the decision maker here. We don’t want our kids to grow screwed up in anyway.

As long as your tattoos or those of your family members don't cause trouble( legal action and conflict )or harm to others, there shouldn't be anything to worry about.

Kids might have tattoos for various reasons, often influenced by cultural, social, or personal factors. Here are a few explanations:
1. Cultural Practices: In some cultures, tattoos are a rite of passage or hold significant meaning. Children may receive tattoos as part of traditional ceremonies or in recognition of their heritage.
2. Peer Influence: As children grow, they are influenced by their peers. If tattoos are perceived as cool or trendy within a social group, kids may choose to get them to fit in or express their identity.
3. Artistic Expression: For some, tattoos represent a form of self-expression. Children may feel empowered to showcase their individuality or interests through body art.
4. Temporary( or fake )Tattoos: Many kids opt for temporary tattoos, which are safe and allow them to experiment with body art without permanent consequences.
5. Parental Influence: Some children may be inspired by parents or older siblings who have tattoos, leading them to desire their own as a form of connection or admiration.
6. Rebellion: In certain cases, getting a tattoo might be an act of rebellion against authority or societal norms, particularly during the teenage years.

There have been various lawsuits and legal disputes related to tattoos in America, though they often focus on issues of copyright, ownership, and consent rather than tattoos themselves being inherently illegal.

One notable case involved tattoo artist Scott Campbell, who sued the clothing company "Wrecked" for using images of his tattoos on clothing without permission. The case sparked discussions about whether tattoos can be considered intellectual property and who owns the rights to designs once they are inked on a person's body.

Additionally, there have been instances where public figures, such as athletes or celebrities, have been involved in legal battles over the use of their tattooed images in commercials or other media, raising questions about privacy rights and the need for consent from the tattoo artist.

Moreover, some lawsuits have emerged from health-related issues, such as infections linked to tattoo parlors that did not follow proper hygiene protocols. These cases often focus on negligence rather than the tattoos themselves.

Overall, while tattoos are legal and widely accepted in America, they have been at the center of various legal challenges, primarily revolving around intellectual property rights, consent, and health regulations.

Depends on what you mean by old. 40 is old to me, but edible.
