Here I am with your weekend update, what I will now refer to as your “better late than never news”.
What would news be without some celebrity gossip? Apparently, Katie wants a tattoo, but Tom says, I don’t think so! Charlie Sheen is having some personal problems but his tattoos seem to be the topic of discussion. I’ve seen several reports on his recent spat with his (probably soon to be ex) wife and nearly every one talks about his tattoos. Of course, most importantly, Miley Cyrus wants Taylor Swift to get a tattoo. Whatever you do, don’t let Kanye find out!
Ok, now that we’ve taken care of that, let’s move on to some real news:
An exhibition in Philadelphia is tracing the history of tattoos and sailors. The exhibition runs until February 7th so if you’re in the area, check it out and let us know what you thought.
In California, an Air Force recruit, whose tattoos caused some controversy, has finally been sworn in. The Air Force is continuing to look at the issue of tattoos and whether or not to develop some kind of policy about them.
Here’s the kind of story I love, about a 78 year old lady who just got her first tattoo.
In Orlando, a firefighter’s tattoo has inspired a line of clothing.
Finally, I was just sent a link to this story, that interviews a mother who, along with her husband, is being charged with cruelty to a child after they gave 6 of their 7 children homemade tattoos. They used a homemade machine to “draw” the tattoos on, as the article says, using a guitar string as a needle. The youngest of the children is ten years old. Please correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m thinking the guitar string wasn’t autoclaved and the risk to their children goes beyond some poorly done tattoos. What’s your opinion?

the children tattoo story is really sad and disappointing. i can only hope the tattoos are done so poorly they laser off easily. but really, i think it speaks more volumes about what kind of parents are they..there are some idiots out there.

@Thomas – I couldn’t resist, sorry. I just kept seeing all this celebrity news and felt compelled. I promise not to make a habit of it.

@ shanwich – In what region of the country did you grow up? How would you feel if someone made a joke about mass genocide there?

SOOOOOO many of te tattoos submitted and posted on thiw website are done by scratchers in their garages or basements. Hell, 1/2 the time you can see tem resting a bath towel on the arm of a couch and doing a tattoo.. biohazard everywhere..sometimes with or without gloves. The shocking part of the story is the father alowing the kids to do it… that it was done at home is hardly surprising.
this website is a haven for scratchers and hacks.

I realize the people doing the tattoos on their children with a guitar string wasn’t the best idea, but are we now going to start calling the tribal people who tattoo young kids’ faces with rocks and shit inhumane?

Really scary about those parents that tattooed their young children…they’re acting like it’s no big deal, somehow had NO idea it was illegal, and are completely ignoring the health risks of tattooing people with unsanitary equipment. Sounds like she’s on a power trip…she thinks she can tattoo her kids because she’s their guardian? They’re not cattle OR slaves.

oh my… does charlie sheen really have tattoos? that’s some news! who cares if he beats his wife? he has tattoos, he’s evil, period xD…
really, i can’t understand why newspapers care about famous people’s tattoos, HELLO, now the strange fact would be them NOT having any tattoos.
and, by the way, i don’t share the journalist’s point of view about katie holmes “demonstrating her love by listening to tom cruise and not getting tattooed”… i mean, he could just demonstrate his love (and respect) to her by letting her choose what to do with her own body! gosh!! …maybe if she gets a picture of a placenta, i heard he loves those.
about the man tattooing his children.. i think there’s no way tattoing your children could be a good idea. they can’t choose, it’s unnecessary and potentially harmful, even if you do it right. also, the best tattoo all over the world would get stretched when they grow up. it’s totally a bad idea.
personally, i’m against any kind of unnecesary body modification children cannot agree with. i won’t pierce my children’s ears, and i don’t think taking permanent decisions about their bodies is right (at least when it’s not a matter of life and death). for example, i wouldn’t operate an hermafrodite child. i don’t think it’s fair to choose something that will change everything and, even more, eliminate future possibilities. i only can choose about my body, and i’m ok with that, i wouldn’t like someone choosing for me. for example, my parents didn’t pierce my lobes (in fact, that’s because they TOTALLY HATE piercings, and don’t like me having them, or my tattoos, but they respect my right to choose) and even though i pierced them now, i’m happy it was MY decision.

Alesita – You’ve definitely illustrated exactly why I posted those celebrity blurbs. Charlie Sheen is being charged with domestic abuse but everything I read is about his tattoos. Katie Holmes and Tom? Well that’s just weird…
I was reading about that couple again just now and apparently 2 of the children they tattooed were not biologically the woman’s. The reason the cops/cps got involved is because the bio-mom of 2 of them saw the tattoos and called them. That kind of kills her argument that she’s the mother and should be allowed to decide whether or not the kids get tattooed. My bigger problem, of course, is not so much that they did it but with what. A dirty guitar string and Indian ink (or pen ink) is not really looking out for the best interests of the children…

@ shanwhich The kind who likes to piss people off? But you do say all humans should die, which means you hate everyone equally. At least you’re not a bigot.

@ paige .. well you see , if you want to lose control of your own emotions and become pissed off ,thats all you. but i would like to say thank you for giving me power/control over your immediate emotional state. as a schizophrenic , i do not believe in social rules, and i will go way out of my way to prove a point. also i believe anger is a result of not knowing anything better to do to control the given situation .
people who are easily offended, have not had a large variety of life experience in my opinion, or they are too constricted by other morals/beliefs/ social rules/ social fears….ect.
LIFE IS RAW AND UNFILTERED.

its not that i disagree with your ideas, more that I disagree that you might be an authority on life. hate to break it to you sweetheart, there are no answers. Think the planet needs saving? hahaha. This planet will out last mankind, regardless of what we do to it.
Life is one big filter.. it’s called our subjective conscious. nothing you see is the way i see it.. we’re all processing and filtering it in our own ways. saying things like “life is raw and unfiltered” really shows the lack of depth in your understanding of some very basic components of being “human”
you’re just another angry kid. awesome
