heh I read about this. tbh I don't think she looks that bad all things considered, and I am certainly siding with the artist.

"Belgian psychologist, said: 'The trauma this girl must be feeling is indescribable. She feels like a circus freak - and no wonder, because she looks like one.'"

Psychologist, saying this, while very well knowing she will most likely read it?

Should get fired.

I think it looks nice to be honest, wouldn't deter me.

Certainly better then a dolphin on your hip or a bloody unicorn on your back...or those dime a dozen barbwires or tribals!

Usually it's a line that ones eyes are like stars, but that girls eyes are part of a constellation :D

Anyway, i digress; i doubt it was a case of misunderstanding and i'm betting, i could put my middle testicle on it, that it's the father and/or BF demanding the lawsuit.

Fall asleep my ass! Like they said, the noise, let alone the pain would keep you awake. Also why did she not kick up a fuss once she woke up! You dont have a tattoo done and then say "nah i wont need to look in the mirror, i'll just go now thanks"...

I feel sorry for her that she had it done in the first place, you really should not be allowed to get such dramatic tats at 18. Obvious that she knew what she was doing, and silly of her not to get a henna tat to judge reaction first.

The tattooist should counter-sue for her ruining his reputation.

People are more likely to make irrational decisions up to the late 20's.

Thus - age has little to do with it - more stupidity & not thinking enough.

I'd say it was a worse relfection on the tattooist who let an 18yr old get facial tattoos anyway.

Not at all.

She is 18 - she needs no permission - it's her face to do as she pleases with.

Same way porn works; modeling agencies; films with age restrictions etc.

Tattoo'ist should work to a moral code, ask any decent/renowned tattoist and see what he/she says about tattoo'ing the face/hands/neck of an 18 year old girl.
Yes its ultimately her decision, shes paid the price by going to obviously a 5th rate tattoist, who firstly, was willing to put stars on her face but also put 56 of them on there.
Lets hope his reputation is ruined because he obviously dosen't care about the moral or social aspect of his art and craft.

True, all in her right, but i think if we brought to light some porn/modelling places, you'd be among the others to say "those places are taking advantage of young girls and in many cases ruin their life".

I think there should be some responsibility(not legal mind you) in the work of a tattoo artist to see if it's really "reasonable" what is asked.

From what i've heard, for any face work done, most good(or should say morally inclined) tattooists ask a lot of questions, explain a lot and give PLENTY of think time before doing it.

I still think that tattoo is carriable though. Hopefully more in the future, the tattoo taboo is outdated as is.

I do agree he probably wasn't a reputable tattooist in the first place, to do it for such a cheap price, if the prices are equivocal to the pricing here.

But if we're asking people to work to a moral code, then it questions a lot of industries which go by what the individual wants, as opposed to what they feel is morally right for them.

As Toht mentions - porn is the number one industry to be affected here - cosmetic surgery too.

Then again, if someone offers you business, and demands they want so and so, and if you say 'think it over' but they remain diligent in saying 'yes,' = what can you do? If enough first rate tatooists say no, they'll simply go to a less reputable one and we have problems of sanitation etc. then.

Seems to be a double-edged sword debate thinking about it.

Nope do not agree at all Bugz, from my own actions and my peers, and having worked with people of that age (17-mid 20's) for the last few years, I can safely say that people live in the present and do not consider their actions on their future lives. I do not think the majority of people that get tattoos before 21 or so actually like them, they usually get them done cheap, or a design that will not grow with them. I could go on and on. Obviously you being around that age will disagree, all I can say is that you will realise as you get older that the things you believe at 18 are usually bollocks.

Chet psychological research shows that people tend to not fully consider situations rationally until they move into the late 20's.

I really despise people who come out with their own 'lawl mate I have experience so I'm right,' without a) acknowledging the facts of others, and b) reading other peoples opinions properly.

Just so you know, my original post did not dispute the fact young people make bad decisions - in fact, i said they are likely to make irrational ones. BUT up to the late 20's, this is the case. So basing any arguements on the fact she is an 18 year old is a bad one; not least because surely we'd have to intervene in a 21-22 y/o who makes the same decision. Is that right? No it isn't.

Well I was trying hard not be patronising, but this is my view of youth from my experience, and my point stands that your views will change with age. but carry on.

AHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Wow, bugz you really do seem to have an age inferiority complex, maybe just try disagreeing rather than going straight to swearing?

Anyway, I do not think people are adults until they are 21, and think a lot of things like drink, tattoos and piercing should be restricted until people are that age.

Are we going to restrict it to 25-30 - because that's when people begin to think rationally (fully) about situations they find themselves in & have the average adult intelligent/understanding,

'Sorry Jeff, you may have 3 sons and a daughter, and you may fight in the war, but you cannot have that tattoo of your sons name on your arm.'

Bugz, when talking about age brought experience, you have no leg to stand on.

You're in the "making stupid decicions 'cause you're young" segment.

Toht you have achieved as much in this life as a rubber duck.

Go self-own yourself with some more maths.

No because that is too old, and as for what psychologists think - well that is another discussion. In my experience with people of that age group, the majority of people mature substantially from 18 to 21.

But then again I think 18 is to young to be sent to war. As for the being a parent, that is not a problem with the age of consent, but with the way kids are raised by their parents. A mixture in this country of poor education, the benefits system and poor parenting.
