Here’s hoping I can post without sending another message to Jim Robinson: I have no problem with people getting tattoos, although I find them horrible. BUT. The history of tattoos makes them anathema to ancient religions. Just the truth, not some sort of prejudice.
I agree; waiting period is silly; perhaps only to sober people might be a good business practice, though. Not a gov thing, let tattoo parlors decide.
If people want to be stupid, that’s their choice.
Maybe a tasteful small notice about “Are you sure you’ll still want this tattoo when you sober up?” or something.
Just generalizing but I connect tattoos with paganism. Many tribes here loved tattoos. Same with other primitives seen in National Geographic. How about Queequeg in Moby Dick
