It’s invariably a bad thing when you read an item on Pharygunla and it clicks through to your home region’s newspaper. We’ve had a bit too many of those here in Georgia.
Apparently a married couple in Summerville decided to tatoo their children so they could be a part of the family. Law enforcement ensued.
There is one case where I would consider tattooing one of my children.
And that case is if I had mirror twins with situs inversus. I’d want potential resuscitators or doctors to know to look for the heart on the right side of the chest.
Still, I don’t know how I’d unobtrusively put that on my child’s body. Probably an outline of a heart on the right breast with the words “mirror twin”.
