Would you condone this for your child?

Yesterday, a coworker and I were talking on our break in some dilapidated section of the Bronx. As we talked a young girl (about 9 years old) rode by on a small bicycle. She wore shorts and a top. As she rode away, her shirt lifted up. She had a tramp stamp (tattoo above the ass). We were stunned. She rode by again and we got a good enough look at the tat to confirm it isn’t a real tat but one that washes off eventually.

Now, when I was a kid, there were lil fake tats we bought for 10 cents or got them free in a box of crackerjacks (oh i love crackerjacks). We would place them on the back of our hands or arms.

The fake tattoo this little girl had was not a child’s tat. This thing was huge and covered the span of her lower back. It’s a removable tat that’s applied at street fairs, etc.

This means she had assistance in having it applied. Would you, as a parent allow this to happen to your child? Why? Why not?
