omg, no one said anything about your tattoos.  

Quoting Brink:" <blockquote><b>Quoting Back to Noob Status:</b>" If they had an offensive tat with ... [snip!] ... bottle to her mouth signifying she drank herself to death. I've been told many times its offensive. I'm still a badass parent."

I don't find that offensive. Tacky, but not offensive. No offense.

My daughter has her ears stretched to the one bigger than 00. I have a million tattoos... It's not for everyone. I hear remarks constantly about how people are grossed out by it. Que sera sera ya know?

Stretched ears gross me out lol I'm always afraid they will blow out.


Dh has his stretched freaks me out when he goes bigger.

Quoting Man. Bear. Pig.:" Yeah, but what if it's an old tattoo and they think different now? Or what if they KNOW BETTER than ... [snip!] ... it's a bad parent unless you view them telling them to "hate n*****s" with your own ears, or see them beat their children, etc"

I knew you were going to say that.

Everyone has a first impression, and my first impression would be that they are hateful idiots, and can you blame me? People don't just get tats of swastikas and become "changed people" over night, and strong racist attitudes like that usually aren't changed.

Let me rephrase for you, They were disgusted by my 1 58" lobes and wondered how I got any jobs with such visible tattoos. I.E my HAND.

Eh my body my choice I didn't get it for anyone else. It's beautiful ink.

No...it isn't. People judge all the time, and it is a logical assumption to make to think that a person with a notoriously hateful symbol may be *gasps* hateful themselves.

Good for you then.

Quoting Ravey Candyass:" yeah. valid question."

... and were given valid answers with those of us with body mods and good careers... soo....?

the only people who still give a smurf are you, and her. making a new thread, that had absolutley nothing to do with it?

That's the whole point. Yes, they may be a hateful person THEMSELVES, but that bares NO WEIGHT on whether or not they can breastfeed, change a diaper, love on, or tuck their children in at night and read them a story, meeting their basic needs.

Since when does BFing, changing diapers or tucking a child in to bed automatically make one a good parent? It doesn't. A good parent raises their kids to be good people, not hateful little Nazis who hate others based on their ethnicity, religion, culture, etc. Parenting is far more complex than feeding your kid and making sure he/she is clean.

But by your logic, I guess someone who FFs or doesn't read their kids a bedtime story makes them a bad parent, eh?
