Two 15-year-old boys altered the ID photos on their phones and secretly got tattoos. Later, because the tattoos on their arms were too large, they ran into difficulties enrolling in school.

A sticker is fine, but a real tattoo isn't. I just saw a news story about two 15-year-old boys who got into trouble because of tattoos.

They changed the birth dates on photos of their ID cards, pretended to be adults, and went to get tattoos. They had large areas of their arms tattooed.

Couldn't they just wipe them off?

It's not that easy. Later, because the tattoos were so large, they had trouble enrolling in school. Removing them is also very difficult. It takes many sessions, costs a lot of money, and can even damage the skin.

Wow, that's such a hassle! Then I'll just use little dinosaur stickers instead!
