So Your Child Has a Tattoo...

Okay a news report came out about a parent getting arrested in North Texas because their child had received a tattoo. The tattoo artist was arrested also. The tattoo the children received was not her first tattoo, it's her third.

I say they should be arrested. I don't understand it is unlawful for anyone under 18 to get a tattoo. Yet it is very visible that law is not being upheld. The rise of tattoos in high school seems unreal. I remember when I was in high school and Seniors who got a tattoo for their birthdays would hide theirs from school officials and many cases parents. I didn't know anyone under 18 with a tattoo. If they did I bet their parents didn't know. Now tattoos are as fashionable as jewelry on young people. Many parents are going with the children to get the tattoos. This is why many in this generation are not excited to grow up. They are already Too Grown!!! What's left to look forward to when you've done it already. *sigh*

If parents are arrested for giving their children under 21 alcohol, a parent should be arrest for allowing their child to have a tattoo. The law is the law.
