People with tattoo's aren't criminals just because they have a tattoo though. Some you wouldn't know they even had one.

No females around 40+ getting tattoo's then?

I didn't say that it made them criminals,

Please don't twist my words, I meant exactly what I said.

The problem is that in Qld anyone with a Tatt is treated as if they were a criminal, Newman even wants people with tatts to have them photographed and recorded with the police

That's a great idea.

Sorry about that  What is the stigma you see attached to tattoo's then?  If it is not : if you have a tattoo you're a criminal in QLD?

Then what is it.?

Are  teens silly because they get a tattoo?  Are  men in their mid 40's with tattoo's 'old men in a mid life crisis'

What would you call women in their 20's , 30's and beyond who chose to get a tattoo?. not silly? not old?

well, it is an identifying feature. (and admittedly subject to stereotypes)

I could never see why someone would want to mark themselves with an easily identifyable feature - same opinion extends to personalized number plates - they just make you more easily identified.

BTW, I'm a fence sitter on this issue - I can see good and bad in it.

as I said, it might cause a few of those who get tattoos for "silly reasons" and spur of the moment decisions, think a bit harder befiore they do something so permanent. I think that's good.

It is not illegal for anyone over 18 to get a tattoo.  To want  people with tatts photographed and recorded with police??

Would that apply to someone who had a teeny tiny butterfly tattooed on their butt? Where would it end?

Are all teens silly because they get a tattoo?  Are all men in their mid 40's with tattoo's 'old men in a mid life crisis'

That's not what I said, I said it may cause some to think beyond "that'd be cool" who get tattoos for silly reasons - ie in search of self identity etc. or maybe to "fit in with their mates" kinda thing and then regret them later.

I did not say that all tattoos were a bad choice.

These were the two demographics that I thought of, there may be others.

Please, just stick to what I wrote, eh?

Eww definitely the worst type of tattoo, butterflies on butts...lets hope they're photographed whilst the person is under 70.
