Tattoos Cause Cancer!

My mom came to see me this weekend and we've had a crazily fun time together. From the moment she arrived, we've barely stopped -- pedis, junk food, the casino, and the ultimate -- we both got tattoos. It was her first and my second.

Last night, we emailed pictures of them to my sister, who showed them to my nephew. I had forgotten that my nephew apparently hates tattoos, until he called tonight to talk to my mom. He told Mom he'd seen the pictures and was incredibly unhappy. Mom kept asking him why he dislikes tattoos so much and he finally said, "Well, Grandma, it's like this. Tattoos cause cancer."

Where did kids get these things? Mom quickly reassured him that, no, tattoos do NOT cause cancer, but he apparently still hates the idea of them.
