But it isn't to circumcise them? Both are being done against the child's consent.

Because tattoos can cause permanent damage, while circumcision has some benefits.

Washing beneath the foreskin of an uncircumcised penis is generally easy, however. [b]Decreased risk of urinary tract infections:[/b] The overall risk of urinary tract infections in males is low, but these infections are more common in uncircumcised males. Severe infections early in life can lead to kidney problems later on. [b]Decreased risk of sexually transmitted infections:[/b] Circumcised men might have a lower risk of certain sexually transmitted infections, including HIV. Still, safe sexual practices remain essential. [b]Prevention of penile problems:[/b] Occasionally, the foreskin on an uncircumcised penis can be difficult or impossible to retract (phimosis). This can lead to inflammation of the foreskin or head of the penis. [b]Decreased risk of penile cancer:[/b] Although cancer of the penis is rare, it's less common in circumcised men. In addition, cervical cancer is less common in the female sexual partners of circumcised men.[/quote]

Edited by Verbatim: 6/14/2013 11:51:13 PMYou give [i]birth[/i] to the child without its consent. I'm sure, at that point, it'll be okay to remove some superfluous baggy crap hanging off his dick. I sure am a lot more concerned about a child getting an ugly drawing on his ass that will eventually warp and distort itself because of skin growth than I am about fucking fore-fucking-skin, jackass.

Hypocrisy. I mean tattoos are only semi-permanent, but cutting off your kid's foreskin is forever.
-
Because tattoos on adults are still viewed as a negative.
