My husband has five children and lots of tattoos. I have no tattoos and have never passed on my genes (although I have many children). A small sample, but make of it what you will.
I would never advocate dangerous stunts to produce a viral video. You have to remember that in 99% of videos like this, IF someone had been hurt, the video would never have been made available for public viewing.
If my kids were allowed to make their own decisions about how to run their lives, they would sleep until noon, play video games all afternoon, eat everything in the refrigerator, and leave a mess behind. And then they would expect me to drive them somewhere.
