"would you let your 12 year old get a tattoo checkmate" I mean...sure? I mean, you'd probably talk about what and where and why, a bit, but if it's something they really wanted, it's their body.

I’m going to raise the stakes just for fun... What if they want a face tattoo?

You'd definitely be worried about it! There'd be a certain amount of discussion. I feel like if a child wanted a face tattoo, at 12 they're definitely in a place where they know that that's going to have major social consequences...

except Jesse says that trans outcomes are bad? I don't think kids getting tattoos are bad.

Replying to @LordHussle @nberlat and
Jesse explicitly said he's opposed to social transition, because he sees it as a "pathway" to medical transition That's the equivalent of barring a kid from painting their face because if they do it enough they'll naturally progress to wanting a tattoo
