California bill would tighten rules on tattoos, piercing. Good! About 36 % of Americans between 18 and 29 are tattooed now - a new epidemic. 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 on
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.
