Prohibits the tattooing of anyone under age 18 by anyone other than a licensed osteopath or technician acting under the direct supervision of a licensed physician or osteopath.
My problem with this is that culturally and religious exceptions have been made with what is illegal for certain groups of people.
So I kinda have an issue with this law which would prohibit certain people from practicing their beliefs and seems to be imposing european western views on people who dont share them and shouldnt have to.
The US government gives Native Indians a massive leeway, likely due to the US Government's past of enforcing near-genocide and ass****ing the native tribes out of lands their fore-bearers had settled centuries before..
Malak died from a car crash? I thought he died when Revan slew him?
But this situation is iffy. However, tattoos can be removed these days with out ugly scaring like in the past. I would say that a parent should not be able to put tattoos on their children's more private areas but an arm or shoulder tat should be okay. It's hard to say...
Maybe limit the age to a test on the child or something?
Yes, but they're not mature enough to make such a decision. If the child still wants a tattoo when he turns 18, then he can go through with getting one at the age of 18.
Just imagine if your parents allowed you to tattoo the name of your fourth grade crush on your wrist when you were around that age, because you wanted it then. Wouldn't you hold them accountable for bad parenting?
Apart from the mother's stupid decision in allowing her 10 yr old to get tattooed...the BIGGER ISSUE is what PROFESSIONAL STUDIO or ARTIST would tattoo a 10 yr old?
Here in Australia it's around a $17000 fine if a tattooist tattoos a minor & we're talking about if the client's around 16 or 17 & either submitted a fake ID or the tattooist didn't care.
A professional tattooist would've known that the most logical reason NOT to tattoo a 10 yr old is that as he grows older & his body develops muscle tone, that tattoo would be stretched & distorted beyond recognition.

Yes it is. You'll cary that tattoo for the rest of your life. Even if you decide to spend the ridiculous amount of money to bleach the ink away with a laser operation it will still be there.
Besides, as Esau Cairn said. The child grows, and an image like a face might be stretched out and become unrecognizable as the child grows.
