Oddbean new post about login | logout Hear me out. A classic anchor tattoo with "MOMMY" over it, drawn on my kids' shoulder, but it contains also my phone number if they got lost. #mumstr
Can I get these custom made as tattoo stickers? My boys will slap any tattoo from a yoghurt lid on them, I'd slap a note on them instead of drawing.👀 #parenting nostr:nevent1qqs0hwmumyzkv6mdc4a4tsw5d5elp8a8ssjwxjjjasffz8wq6dg3zwspz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzvuhsyg8uw2hyhng5zjk58sp0z6f297le6vw7r8j4z4mw3va6zskjhqtdhcpsgqqqqqqsuesypm
Hmmmm. I don’t think is a great idea.
Why not?
Is one step away from “cow branding”
Putting a temporary contact on your little kid who tends to wander away...you guys could use some sense of humor.
Sorry, when you wrote tattoo I thought you meant permanent. I have a great sense of humor, I just didn’t find this one funny.
No, never. I thought it was obvious from the verb, in my language it would. My english sucks, sorry. Anyway I looked up temp tattoo stickers and will order some. Kids love having tattoos and it's better than anything with a number on it or some locator. I tried it all for our 3yo who can disappear like Copperfield in plain sight. I have a video where he is with some kids and suddenly it's a girl in similar clothes and he's gone.
Only quoting from the attached tweet, but couldn't agree more: “Every tattoo looks like a skin disease.” Tattoos are nothing but a permanent damage of the skin, they fade out and become ever uglier with time, and may even cause cancer. https://x.com/xmrazik/status/1806601670215774295
Governments treats their citizens like livestock too badly already, I don't think parents branding their kids (pun intended) is gonna help 😔
You all three absolutely missed the word drawn. I'm not tattoing my kids ffs.
If you're gonna stamp an ID a human, at least do it right
Haha, DO IT :) I figure there are worse ways to permanently scar your kids. My kids swim and routinely write sharpie all over them with their events and heats and messages. I'm sure whatever ink is in that sharpie goes directly to their brain. But they swim fast, so... Tradeoffs :)
