Remember when you were a teenager and you wanted to get a tattoo?
And your parents would say: "No tattoos until you're __. And if you still want one, then you can go ahead and get one."
I am assuming that the age on that blank is your parents' idea of the age of maturity and responsible decisions. How about you? What's your age of maturity and responsible decisions? And why?

I... when I was little, 30 seemed so old and adult and shit and 60 seemed like ancient and now that I am going to be 30 and my parents are nearing 60 and we're all still retarded and immature, I don't think there's ever an appropriate age for maturity. Maybe 80....

Except for me. I'd rock if it weren't for the rest of you bastards pulling me down.
This is actually a gratuitous icon post. Enjoy the man-pretty. He doesn't really wear the scary, scary red thing, but my Photoshop skillz are not up to altering the photo to something gray, comfy, lettered in Latin, and probably profane.

My parents never really came out and said there was any particular age at which my sibs and I could Do Whatever We Wanted. However, they did allow as how once we went off to college, there'd be precious few things we couldn't keep hidden from them if we really tried (well, until summer break, anyways) and it'd be so much simpler if we didn't bother.

But I think I'm going to get my first tattoo within the year. I made a vow when I turned 18 that if I could look at a tattoo every day for at least a year and not get tired of it (I can be very fickle) then I would get it.

18 has always been the IT age.
Come to think of it, parents have this idea of a default point of maturity that they assume, due to circumstances and years, it should at least make kids think twice before they make something materialize and not regret. Like maybe an ugly baby from an uglier father which was from a one night stand after finding him in a smoky bar and getting those terrible beer glasses on, and you wake up in the morning weeping your head off for having such a terrible, terrible taste when drunk and horny.One would like to think that maybe it's somehow dictated by the society. After all, 18 is where girls miraculously "mature" after such a huge glamorous party overnight taken from their dad's semi-annual paycheck, and it’s where some boys realize there’s more to their palms. My own mother gave me a promise of finally going on overnights (inuman, debut et al) the moment I turn 18, which sadly, when I finally got on that age, there weren’t any more debuts to attend because EVERYONE was older than I am, and inumans forfeited because of university projects.
But think about it. 18 IS also the age you start to wonder about life and the future. Hmm. We START taking responsibilities because of the responsibility that age brings due to that pressure brought about by our own peers. Although I won’t let my own kid make life altering decisions till she’s forty.
I was thinking of getting a tattoo too. Except I can’t guarantee I’d look so hot with it still by the time I’m 55, so I’m postponing.
Hey. I miss you. How’s you?
