This is Awesome!! I"m 21 and have been wanting a tattoo my entire life....although my parents hate that idea. I wore plenty of stick on's, and fake piercings, but having this machine as a kid...my parents would have only blamed themselves for my tattoos. If a person likes tattoos, its not because of childhood toys, its because thats the culture they're into and respect. If they like them as a kid, they may or may not grow out of that habit...that will be for them to decide.
