>>19523932Advice from an older brother that had a younger step brother get tattoos before the age of 18. My step brother was a normal kid thru elementary and middle school. Played football, ran around with friends on bikes, played baseball, only hung out with whites, etc. pretty standard childhood upbringing in moderate suburbia. Then came high school. His mom, my stepmother, allowed him to get his first tattoo before the age of 16. A harmless American flag tattoo that would be covered on the back of his shoulder, and since he was always planning on joining the military it seemed fitting. I objected to it, citing impulsive self mutilation and a desensitization to further tattoos. I was laughed at and scolded for “judging” and projecting my insecurities, and was told that it’s his life and his body he can do whatever he wants. Well fast forward to his senior year of high school. He now has 60+ tattoos and less than half are covered by standard t shirt and shorts. Smokes weed all fucking day and deals. He hangs out exclusively with niggers, and not the kind that have respectable parents but still act hood, I’m talking about the ones that are raised entirely by the public school system and government subsidies. He got a dui after crashing his car into a tree head on and nearly killed him during his senior football season. Had his legs and arm put back together with bolts and metal rods. Football Scholarship is gone. Still goes on social media and plays up the victim card like it was the fucking trees fault and how much was “taken” from him. Fast forward 9 months, dipshit gets second DUI and gets 7 days in jail. I have now banned him from family events and have cut contact entirely as he blames me for his fucking problems because I’m the only one that holds him accountable. In my mind, These events are not random, but a direct correlation of allowing degeneracy to slowly seep into the family starting off with a simple tattoo allowed before the age of 17.
