Well, once you are an adult...you can make your own decisions on both issues.

Until then I would suggest not doing either.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago

Great advice!

[–] [email protected] 82 points 11 months ago (4 children)

You can always laser them to get rid of either.

Just ask Anikin

Yes, that's what I said

[–] [email protected] 29 points 11 months ago (4 children)

Children aren't necessarily permanent...

[–] [email protected] 21 points 11 months ago

Depends on the state and access to coat hangers.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Because they grow up and leave the nest 🙃

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

Neither are wives!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

Here's hoping! 🤞

[–] [email protected] 19 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Wife and children aren't permanent. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You haven't been married to crazy I see. Even if you manage to get away, the scars are forever.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Oh but I have. The scars may still be here; but thank fuck she and her demon spawn aren't.

Can't fix a tattoo with a shovel and garbage bags.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Well, not with that attitude...

First step, get the blade of the shovel as sharp as possible.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

It reminded me of this episode of Happy Tree Friends

Well we can't get divorced with a tattoo!

[–] [email protected] 26 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Tattoos won't ask you for child support...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

But they can still cause years of irritation...

[–] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I'm no tattoo artist or dermatologist, but I feel quite confident stating that If your tattoo causes skin irritation for YEARS, you need to see a better tattoo artist and probably a doctor.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

On a serious note there are certainly cases of long term health issues from Tattoos. Most people do seem fine with them through.

Then there is the immune system trying to remove the ink from under the ski unsuccessfully for years. "removing" them with laser doesn't actually removed *all the ink from under the skin.

There isn't any *long term studies on the safety of the inks organic or not. People certainly can live with them for their whole lives but that is not to say there isn't issues from some..

5,000 years of experimentation is not enough! I demand more! slams fist vaguely

Just because something has been rapidly disintegrated using intense artificial light doesnt mean it's gone! spins in circles gesturing

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

5000 year of experimentation ain't worth shit if isn't written down and organized so the data can be analyzed.

You've got 5000 years of anecdotes, which is worth as much as the shit I'm taking right now compared to actual science.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Using lead in pipes, plates, paint for 1000s of years certainly wasn't an issue for many and more recently in our history leaded gasoline.

As for tattoos it's not all rainbows and unicorns as I have younger family members that have developed issues from their tattoos and have looked into removal but decided while visually they do appear mostly to not be visible they are not completely gone from under the skin so they decided there's no reason to go through with the pain in their case.

I also have senior family members with with tattoos from their youth on their legs and arms that haven't caused them issues besides having whatever they started out with just look like a hazy blue blobs now so their experiences should be the only ones that count.

It does seem like the latest laser removal technology employed by medical professionals can now eventually remove most of the colors now with less scarring where the initial older lasers struggled with all the colors.

Here is a FDA link to some of the issues for with tattoos for some: https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/think-you-ink-tattoo-safety

This is the link the photo is from: https://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/laser-tattoo-removal

This article breaks down the advances, long time lines for removal, and the potential issues of removal that can arise: https://www.glamour.com/story/tattoo-removal-cost-what-is-it-like

But yes like how safe lead is, tattoos it's all good. Rainbows and unicorns my friends.... /s

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

who downvotes personal experience that provides more thoughtful input than the input above it? wtf

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago

Tattoo removal exists and whether it's as painful and expensive as a divorce varies 🤷

Also, most tattoos you don't like can be made into something better by a skilled tattoo artist. I guess that's kinda sorta the equivalent of couple's therapy?

Man, Squidward is a catch. Steady job, owns a sizable house, is an artist, musician, and performer.

If i had to choose from the cast, I’d like to be pink octopus so I could woo Squidward 😍
