[QUOTE]In Pa, it is legal to tattoo your address (or in most cases, a service agency/hospital with your children's records) on children with medical/mental issues. My fiance is a tattoo artist and a parent came to him asking if he would travel to a hospital and tattoo the information on their 10 year old daughter who was non-vocal and had a ton of medical/mental problems. They had medical and legal consent and all. He did not do it though, he wasnt comfortable with her possible outburst and/or twitches that would cause him to injure her.

I hope the families never have to move...isn't that why they have medical id bands or some other way where info can be updated?

What is the point of tattooing an "x" on their hands? That's not only stupid, it's ugly!
