Not only that but the dye fades ... and stretches with age. These folks aren’t thinking ahead.

Not all tattoos fade or stretch. I've had 4 children & I have tats, none stretched that didn't go back after I was pregnant. I used sunscreen on them from my 1st one which I got well over 20 yrs ago. Mine didn't fade much at all. However mine are able to be covered unless I want to show them. Would I like them gone? Some of them yes. My butterfly's no, as I happen to like them.

I don't think most people use their brains when they get them. I've seen many that just look terrible & people are going to regret them later in life for sure.

When I got mine I was way younger. I don't try to judge people by the fact they have tattoos. If I were to do it over again I really doubt I would get any. But I sure wouldn't bother to get scarred taking them off.

I know many Freepers are against them but many people have them that you would never believe would have them. I don't like to see girls loaded with them and have always told anyone who was planning to get one to think long & hard before they do it. ~Pandora~

I always have to hold back laughing when I see a young girl with a tattoo on her young, flat belly...

Talk about not thinking ahead!

The psychological theory of 'adolescent thinking' wherein it is suggested that the not yet fully formed brain causes the young adult mind to perceive a different reality is extending well into what used to be adulthood. So is the theory of 'magical thinking' wherein the response to every issue thay demands attention and effort becomes 'it will work out' as opposed to "I will find a way to make it work out'.

Both are rampant in today's 17-28 year olds. A generation with its collective head up its collective ass (with exceptions of course).

That’s for sure! Today’s rose bouquet is going to be tomorrow’s hanging basket.

I just hate to see young girls with pretty skin that is marred by the hideously ugly artificial colors of tattoos. I really don’t understand it at all. The young men, too. It looks so low class and grotesque.

When I was a teenager, only ex-cons and sailors had tattoos.
