Tats on teens


Hairless Cat

Recommended Posts

I get one every year for my birthday...got a portrait of Edgar Allan Poe last year and William Shakespeare last week. I have forearm tattoos and see no problem with visible tattoos on adults. If a young man or woman can make the decision to join the army and defend the country, then they most definitely should be able to put ink over their arse or anywhere else they feel like...

This. I always felt if 18 is old enough to die for your country, it's old enough to do pretty much anything

In my opinion 18 is too young. Especially when it comes to "public" skin. Of course there are always exceptions but by in large I don't think most 18 year olds have the perspective to make a good choice when it comes to something as permanant as a tattoo. I've known a reasonable number of tattoo artists and I'd say probably half would turn away a customer that was wanting something above the collar or on the back of their hand on their 18th and I'm curious as to which side rhino comes down on.

18 year olds are complete dumbasses.... says the guy who got a tat at 18..

    • It's not impossible to go from worst to first.  We kept Evero because anyone in there right mind knew our defense was destroyed by injuries, not the scheme.  Evero has been given a plethora of talent between free agency and the draft, not to mention getting DB back. I fully expect our defense to be very good.  I have no reason to think Jones would say something like that unless he truly felt like that.   
    • We would’ve played Florida and lost in the 1st instead of the 3rd round.  Montreal would have been the 8 seed.
    • I can't get behind a purely subjective re-draft as a method of defining "top-10 QB" status. That invites bias based on vibes/hypotheticals and can ignore actual on-field performance. You and others have said that Bryce has to be a top-10 QB to justify the pick. That's a high bar, which I'm not against, but we need a clear, consistent way to measure it. When I bring up metrics that Bryce has registered in the top-10 in like BTT%, P2S ratio, catchable deep ball rate, etc... they're waved off as either irrelevant or the expected baseline performance. Meanwhile, volume stats like passing yards or win-loss records, both of which depend heavily on roster talent, health, and coaching, are treated as definitive. That's where the inconsistency kicks in. If no performance metric ever counts in his favor and the answer is always going to be "he should be doing that," then we're not evaluating him... we're just holding him to a curve he can't win against. If this is really about performance standards, then let's define them. But if it's just about confirming prior takes based on height and weight, then let's call it what is it and stop pretending that this is a football analysis discussion.
