1 00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:03,560 Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda jam Nation. 2 00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:06,680 Speaker 2: The Jonesy de Matter around the Tub for the pub Test. 3 00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:10,840 Speaker 2: A South Australian TikTok creator is sparking a controversial debate 4 00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:14,240 Speaker 2: online with her plea to not lower the legal age 5 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:16,200 Speaker 2: for getting tattoos, but to raise them. 6 00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:18,640 Speaker 3: She said she got tattoos at nineteen as a way 7 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:22,040 Speaker 3: of coping. She said that she was having mood swings 8 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,360 Speaker 3: and she doesn't now like her heavily interppearance. So she's 9 00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:27,159 Speaker 3: now in her late twenties and it's trying to have 10 00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,319 Speaker 3: them more removed. We know from insurance purposes you have 11 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,879 Speaker 3: to be twenty five before your brain is considered fully formed. 12 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 3: At the moment it is eighteen. She's hoping that. She 13 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,479 Speaker 3: says that the legal age forgetting a tattoo should be 14 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,199 Speaker 3: twenty one, so at least you've slightly thought about it 15 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 3: a bit more. 16 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:46,479 Speaker 2: There is some merit in that I almost got a 17 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 2: tattoo at eighteen. I was ready to go, or sitting 18 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 2: in the parlor having a little design, ready to go, 19 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 2: and the guy said, that's all well and good mate. 20 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,040 Speaker 2: That's a great, great tattoo you've drawn there, But I 21 00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 2: can't fit you in today, I can't fit you in 22 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 2: for the next three weeks. Come back there, make. 23 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 3: An appointment by then you change your mind. 24 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 2: Then I lost interest. 25 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 3: Friend of mine says to her children, that's what your 26 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 3: pencil case is for. Just draw on your pencil case 27 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 3: when they're at school, everyone draws their tattoos. You think, 28 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 3: is that how you want to be defined when you're forty? 29 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 3: Do you know that at eighteen, raising the tattoo legal 30 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,280 Speaker 3: age does it pass the pub test? 31 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 4: I don't know about this. I mean, I'm not into tattoos, 32 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 4: but if you raise the age, you've got to have 33 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,559 Speaker 4: a lot of kids with a lot of backyard tattoos 34 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 4: that can be open to infections and really bad artwork. 35 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 5: Yes, it does pass pub test. It raised up to 36 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,480 Speaker 5: twenty one when they're a bit more mature. And my 37 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 5: daughter got hers done when she was young, and she 38 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,040 Speaker 5: looks ridiculous now and she regrets. 39 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 1: I firmly believe in raising this because once you make 40 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: these marks on your body, you stuck with them for life, 41 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: and life shouldn't be full of regret. So yeah, I 42 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 1: just I firmly agree with that one hundred percent. 43 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 4: Not I think it should stay at eighteen. 44 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 2: For sure. 45 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 5: I just think there's enough nanny state stuff going on in. 46 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 1: This country as it is. Let the kids do what 47 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: they want to do. They can drink at eighteen, they 48 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 1: can get a chattered eighteen. It really doesn't make a 49 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 1: difference to it. 50 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 2: No regrets or no regrets,
