O.O He def. should get punished more. That’s like cruel. 

If he’s getting drunk enough to do things to his son with needles that he doesn’t remember in the morning, he should have his child taken away from him. 

Now his child will always have a symbol etched onto him to remember how great his daddy was. Yep, I’m sure he’ll still be a daddy’s boy once he’s old enough to know what happened to him. Nice going.

ps

@Sand_notes@xanga - This.

NOT COOL. 

release a mound of killer bees, so he can get a bee tattoo on his ass.

This should be considered child abuse. And he should be charged with it.

Off topic, but when I see “DB” I automatically think douchebag..

On that note, that man should not have children.. :/

Ironically, I think DB – douchebag…and definitely this dad was…otherwise, funny story to tell the ladies in the future…” I was so hardcore I was tattooed at 3!”

re: I meant as punishment for the dad:D

This is absolutely child abuse. And is “being too drunk” an accepted excuse?! HEY, CHILD SERVICES, I FOUND SOMETHING FOR YOU.

Oh wow.  That poor child.  That poor father.  This is sad.

Poor kid!

Painful for the toddler.. what kind of father does he have, anyway?  Sick

you know i could accept it… kinda…if he had been sober. bug since he was so wasted… not so much. he must have tortured the kid.

I wonder if there was a mother around.

i think he should pay for the laser surgery to remove that

I think the punishment was pretty good since according to the article he’s not even allowed to see his child again…
There are ways to remove it in the future if the child desires. I think there are much worse things that could have been done to him and he should grow up to laugh about it, instead of making a big deal.

When the kid grows up, he’ll tell his friends he got it for his father, and that it stands for douchebag.

DB = Douche Bag

@Sand_notes@xanga - Agreed

@Sand_notes@xanga - AGREE.

@gettin_skinnay@xanga - I agree, thats horrendous!

Horrible. Although, once I heard about parents tattooing a dot on quadruplets so they could tell them apart and I thought that was cool (it was on a toe).

He was so drunk he tattooed his own son? So who was actually watching the kid to make sure his dad didn’t light the house on fire and kill him, too? 

Wow…he should automatically lose custody after an incident like that.  I don’t really think there is any other evidence needed to draw the conclusion that this guy should NOT have a kid.  If that happened to me, I would be getting that scribble covered up with something cool the second I turned 18.  Unfortunately you can’t cover up the psychological damage that would be caused by having an incompetent drunk parent.

The father is not allowed to see the child anymore. and he received the appropriate punishment for the crime that he was charged with, tattooing a minor.  It is unfortunate that he did it to his 3 year old son, but I would rather have a judge that thinks with his/her brain instead of their heart. The severity of the punishment should not depend on how many tears the story evokes.  If he were being charged with endangering a child, then it would a completely different story.

Hopefully the mother or other people in charge of the welfare of the
little boy will keep the dad away from him.  Anyone who gets drunk to
the point that they don’t know or don’t remember what they were doing
(OR thinks that it is a good idea to use that as an excuse) should not
be in charge of taking care of anyone’s child. Somehow I doubt it, he’ll be back in his son’s life as soon as his probation period is over.

This statement from the article blows my mind, “though the judge
appeared to have her doubts. ‘I am trying to figure out why this is
illegal,” she said. “Is it illegal to pierce your little girl’s ears?’  “  Why is she even comparing something that is legal with something that is illegal.  Make that comparison when piercing your child’s ears (or any other body part) becomes illegal. [ end rant

Usually people get so drunk that they tattoo themselves. They don’t grab a 3 year old child instead. Douchebag.

@Erika_Steele@xanga - Agree, agree, and agree!

Wow that freaking crazy.. I wonder what he’s dad’s like sober. And really shouldnt he be watching his son not getting wasted?

omgsh.. this kids future…

That’s all he got? I hate our justice system. It rarely works like it’s supposed to. Unless it’s supposed to be screwed-up and backwards. In that case, it’s running perfectly. Who’s protecting this little kid?

What worries me most? What if he

didn’t

 have a tattoo gun?

Anyone else’s friends go about tattooing themselves with X-Acto knives and magic markers? Because mine do. :/

You tattoo your kid AND say that you were apparently completely wasted around your kid?  Yeah.  

……..
What the fuck does one even say about that?!

Agree. A stronger punishment is much needed for this case! 

I mean that’s like… child abuse!!! I’m sure it hurt the little boy when he was tattooed.. Aghh, I can’t imagine every seeing my little brother being tattooed! HE’S ONLY A KID!!!! >.<

OMG. Poor little boy!

Not too much worse than piercing an infants ears, not that I support that either. Just an observation.

@Sand_notes@xanga - I agree with. If he was around his son while he was that drunk, child protective services needs to intervene. 

pooooor kid, he’s going to resent his dad when he’s older.

The punishment should be harsher for such a lame tattoo design.  It’s like the father didn’t even put any thought into it.  Oh, real heartfelt, Dad.  Are they gonna do the laser removal thing now?  Does that hurt?

@lygophilia@xanga - The difference is that the child can take earrings out when they’re older if they don’t like it. A tattoo is permanent. And hurts a lot more, and hurts for a lot longer. 

How painful that must have been for the poor little boy! I can’t even imagine how much he must have been screaming and moving all around trying to get away. So sad.

But that father should have been slapped with a WAY stronger punishment…. I hate to ask, but is there a mom even around for this? I would have KILLLED my son’s dad if he even tried something like this to our boy!

If he was too drunk to realize what he was doing, how does he remember that it’s supposed to stand for “daddy’s boy”?

Another excellent case for the pros of eugenics

that poor kid

How did he get the kid to hold still?!

He was drunk out of his mind….pinning the kid down, more than likely…and tattooing him with what I can only imagine was a homemade tattoo gun.

Yeah,  people like that don’t deserve to have children.  In fact, people like that should not be allowed to reproduce at all.

hm, you know what i was thinking? i hope to god the needle was clean….

poor kid.

Wowie.
What the hell…
How is the child going to grow with that?
It’ll be spread across his skin and faded and gross.
Probably mutated as well because bone structure changes with age.
The child should be taken away from him.

@Sand_notes@xanga - I knew someone would make that comment, but if it’s in for over a year or something, that hole is there forever. While, though painful, the tattoo can, in fact, be removed, so which is more permanent? I’d say the piercing. Length of pain? Mehhh, okay. I bet if piercings took longer, they’d still be viewed as okay, though. I didn’t say it was exactly the same. I said it wasn’t that much worse. That was a tiny tattoo, which probably didn’t take too obnoxiously long. Again, let me state that I don’t think tattooing small children is right. I just don’t think piercing an infant is much better, but it’s viewed as perfectly fine. Current standards of our society is all.

yeah he needs to have his kid taken away

If he was drunk…..

Uh yeah. He needs to not have custody of that child.

If I got tattooed at the age of three I’d feel like a bad ass.
Sixteen year old friend: DUDEEEEE! I just got my first tattoo!
Me: Oh yeah!? I’ve had mine since I was three! Beat that one, bitch.
—- OR —–
Me: Dad, you seriously couldn’t have picked a better word or design for me? Like maybe a scary, killer tiger? Or something like vampire fangs and “I bite”? The guys would love that!

how is this any more different than forcing your child to have their ears pierced? 

@gettin_skinnay@xanga - I agree.

What can u really do?? The boy survived. Trying to take it off will only scar him for life. Maybe when he is older they can make his father pay for another one to cover it or something?lol. Maybe the boy will name his future son/daughter initials to be DB.  Its workable. Ya its bad but these days he can say its a birth mark. That’s one tattoo he cant be distcriminated agaist when he is older.

@The_Bodyguard@mancouch - lol right?

what…the…fuck.

he should have been ordered to treatment, or, at the very least, to attend such and such amount of AA meetings.

What a poor child! What a pathetic dad! Nothing more to say… *sigh*
