Her friend didn't use some rando needles and tattoo her! If she were going to get an infection, that would have happened already.

That said, I'd punish her for the disobedience for sure. 2 weeks total grounding seems like a good punishment. You could take also take her to a tattoo removal place and price out the removal then make her save towards that, etc.


That's not true at all!


Right. Removing it would be silly.

some of you are delusional or parents of very young children.

Or they're just trolls that think it's funny to rile up helicopter parents.

Normalization of bad behaviors is becoming more common.


Statistically teenagers now have less sex, drink less, do less drugs, and are more likely to be afraid of their own shadow than we were as kids and the teens before us too. Honestly - some of you parents should be worried about how scared and compliant your kids probably are bc that doesn’t bode well for adult success


Id rather have teens drinking than getting a prison tattoo in someone's basement.


Same. Trying alcohol or a puff of a joint is in the range of normal to me but prison tats are not. It does kind of go with this generations total lack of fear about HIV. We were scared shitless.


But that’s just what’s normal to you. The world has changed. These tattoos are normal now. Heck, i was just on Martha’s Vineyard, the upscale old-money part, and I even saw a bunch of tattoos there.

Welcome to 2025, where soccer moms have tattoos, Biff is President, weed is sold over the counter, and everyone carries computers in their pockets. Be careful in this new world, though: Nazis and measles are back.
