Quote From: raiderettI agree that I am too, affended by the stereo type of being a freak because of having tattoos. I am 22yrs old and haave 2 children and 6 tattoos. In fact my mother and I got one together and I paid for them both. I think it is a matter of what kind of tattoo it is, for example all of my tattoos are in places thst are not always visable to the public. I have my daughters name and a rose on my left shoulder, a trible band with a flower in the center of it on my right forearm, a big mask like butterfly on my lower back, a cross with a lilly with the word PAPA for my late Grandfather on my left ankle, and Chinese writing that stands for reincarnated spirits on my other ankle. Soon I will be getting another one on my right shoulder of my new baby boys name and birthdate, so I happen to like them. Plus if the person is old enough to do what they want with their body then the mom has no say in the matter, and is very wrong for saying that she will cut her daughter off if she gets another one. My mom likes all mine and from what I saw in the picture her tattoos they are very beautiful, and not in any way tacky.But that is just my opinion.
I was so mad at Dr.Phil during this show I almost decided not to watch him anymore.
I am 27 and have 6 year old son, and I have 16 tattooes, a full sleeve and then some on other parts of my body, including legs and chest. I love my work and I would not change or take them away for anything! I was screaming at him when he was talking about conforming for jobs and all that. I work for an extremely reputable financial company and wear short sleeves everyday, and no one treats me any differently than anyone that doesn't have them.
