tattoos to me are rather disgusting, inappropriate way to disfigure and ugly up yourself. tattoos come from a culture of crime, prisons, gangs. ... it is a wrong message to send. tattoos should be regulated - 1. NOBODY UNDER 21 should be able to get one 2. make tattoo getting more expensive 3. require a cool off period of, say, 3 days, to sign a paper of understanding how difficult it is to remove tattoo, of awareness that tattoos can be medically damaging threat to health. 4. do not allow them in schools, at least not overt tattoos .... What happened here is if you take political freedoms of expression from people, freedoms of speech and press, they will resort to - tattooing themselves, drugging themselves. .... Yes, tattoos are another version of self-medication, of drugging oneself in an attempt to understand the state of the world and country around us. http://newsrecord.wordpress.com - pb: from Bookmarklet

wow. nanny state much? (i have tattoos and piercings.) - kendrak

i think tattoos are disgusting :/ .. inappropriate --- nothing personal Kendra, we are talking a policy :] - pb:

i don't see why we need to have strict policies about this though. you don't like tattoos? fine. don't get any. i support strict health codes for tattoo parlours, and enforcing existing age restrictions, but anything else seems to be overstepping. - kendrak
