i got my ears peirced when i was ten. got my tongue peirced when i was 13. gave myself a shitty tattoo with my dads gun while he was out picking some things up for the shop when i was 14. have since then gotten 9 more tattoos (the right way) and removed the tongue ring. after a few years i decided it was just stupid and i didnt like chipping teeth. as for the topic of kids being able to make life choices like that, it is possible. the only visible tattoos i have that arent covered by a tank top and shorts are the ones on my forearms that read R.I.P on one arm and A.L.H. on the other, a memorial for my little brother who passed away. frankly i wouldnt cover them up for any job, school, person anything. if i decide to wear a shirt that covers them, then thats fine. but 99 percent of the time if im not freezing my balls off, i roll up my fucking sleeves and display them with pride, im proud of who my brother was as a person, and any chance i have to show off my love for him, im going to take. anyone who wants to mae me hide this, can jump off a fucking cliff.yeah, im only 17. i dont have a job for the fact that im a 4.0 gpa honors student and it takes time to maintain that. also the fact that i have no bills, because i dont drive and all, means i dont need money. i do earn money doing odd jobs in my neighborhood if needed, and im working my way into becoming a tattoo artist just like my old man. people that criticize others for their choices, need to realize. its life. were here to fuck up as much shit as we can, while we can. i already got 30k waiting for me in scholarships waiting for me, and im only a junior. so any one that wants to hold their nose up at me because of what i choose to do with my body, can take their crappy $7.50 an hour job and stuff it up their ass.
