When I was about 22, I was at a party where a 17 year old showed up, didn’t tell people how old they were, and sat down for a shitty trainee tattoo with someone who brought a homemade rig. Partway through the tattoo, they mentioned the SATs, and it was like a ripple of discomfort went through the party when we realized that we were all responsible for this child permanently scarring themselves.
In what world are the sort of 22 year olds who go to parties with amateur tattoos in the basement more responsible than the people who govern us??
