re: Restrained toddler gets tattooed - D&D

Quoting meggymama:" Surely minor doesnt extent to baby though? i just cannot get my head around it "

I don't think any legit tattoo artist in the US would agree to tattoo a baby.

Quoting xTJ:" <blockquote><b>Quoting meggymama:</b>" What would be a medical reason to tattoo anyone? ... [snip!] ... the tattoo was done for medical reasons, is that what the parents are saying? I didn't know they had been found and identified."

No my comment re medical reasoning was in response to a post above hang on: copy pasted there is more in here post but this is the relevant bit
''No one may tattoo children except doctors doing so in the course of their medical practice: "(2) Subject to sub. (3), any person who tattoos or offers to tattoo a child is subject to a Class D forfeiture.". (3) Subsection (2) does not prohibit a physician from tattooing or offering to tattoo a child in the course of professional practice.''

Oh I see, yes that is odd. Why on earth would a Doctor need to tattoo a child  

Quoting κατι:" I don't think any legit tattoo artist in the US would agree to tattoo a baby."

I couldn't imagine any legit one doing it anywhere, does anyone know where this child is from, like i said i couldnt watch the video

even tho i dont like the video and agree that it is wrong one thing i was happy about was at least the person doing it was wearing gloves

People say it was in cuba.

Yeah I googled it after I posted, I think im just so shocked that anyone could find it acceptable

ok what about this

Diabetics may soon be lining up for a special new tattoo that does “tricks.”

Scientists at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and at the Texas Diabetes Institute are working on a new tattoo that is designed to change color when a person’s blood sugar drops, or when it spikes.

Oakwood Hospital podiatrist, Dr. Debbie Woody told WWJ she thinks it’s a fantastic idea.

“It’s very fascinating and amazing,” Woody says. “It’s really still a few years away. It can actually monitor a patient’s blood sugar.’

Dr. Woody said it’s not going to be a tattoo that is readily visible to the naked eye. A patient would use a “monitoring device” such as a black light to see the color changes. The tattoo is designed to go from yellow to orange to pink depending on whether a patient’s blood sugar is high or low.

“That obviously would have a lot of benefits,” says Woody. “You can decrease the amount of pin sticks you have. Certainly very helpful in children with diabetes. It also allows a diabetic to closely monitor their sugar. They’re going to know if (their sugar) is getting low or high.”

Woody doesn’t think it will ever entirely replace a glucose meter, but it will give constant monitoring which can’t be done now.

Samantha Mueller, who does body piercings at Eternal Tattoo in Eastpointe, said people are already calling her asking for the color changing tattoo.

Mueller said, “One lady just wants to get a little heart, because she’s just sick of poking herself, and her fingers hurt.”

The only reason i could think of 'medically' tattooing a child would be if they had a condition where they didn't have any hair, like perhaps if it was a teenager then they might get the permenant make up tattoos to do eyebrows, kwim? I can see that being considered. But just a random tattoo? smurf no!

Could minor possibly be covering age 16-18? Like how kids can have certain body piercings with the parents there. Not that a tattoo is anything near as acceptable as a piercing :/

yeah its not out yet but i know my cousin would have wanted this when he was younger instead of a needle every time..he was 2 or 3 when he was diagnosied

I'm on daily injections of clexane and i know how painful they are so if this works it would be fantastic for people who have to test daily

Quoting κατι:" All 3 of them should be held down and forced to get tattoos on their eyeballs,followed with dumb ass across their forehead's."

Or just kicked in the face repeatedly. I think that would work too.

I can't bring myself to watch this. I just can't believe someone would do that to a child. That's horrible!

My mom was "tattooed" by a doctor. She had to have a couple black dots tattooed on her when she had cancer. I don't remember exactly why, but it had something to do with when she went through chemo, I think. I think that's what they're talking about.
