Sounds like you fucked up by not choosing your words carefully. Or you just fucked up by expecting redditors to read between the lines.

To be honest even when they asked "For what?!?" OP didn't specify and said "anything" for most answers.

Yep. Said piercings and tattoos as thats where I was coming from and then continued to leave it open with anything because I thought people would bring something to the table.

NOPE!

No you didn't. Someone very clearly asked you "for what?" And your reply was "anything"

and then continued to leave it open with anything

Yes I most assuredly did reply with one word answers of "anything" after saying where I was coming from. Why would I keep repeating myself?

It isn't repeating yourself because you aren't talking to the same person every time. Yes, if 1 user was asking you over and over, that would be repeating yourself. But no one is bothering reading through the entire thread and picking through conversations just to give you the benefit of the doubt when all you had to was include what you were actually talking about in the question.

Show me in my picture where you said anything about piercings or tattoos

Take a picture of the deleted commenter saying "Children can’t. This question is horrible." to which I replied "At what age do you think a child can consent to getting a tattoo or get piercings?"

OR

ZBrk9 saying "What the fuck is this question? 18." to which I responded with "Should a person be able to get a tattoo at 16 if it's in line with their culture?"

OR

gluteusplumIV saying "Well for starters a 'child' can never give consent at any age... clean your mouth out with soap young man" to which I replied "At what age do you think is old enough for parents to get their child piercings?"

What me to go on?

So I have to read the entire comment thread to know if you're taking about fucking children or not? Great job there, hoss. How about just put "tattoos and piercings" in the actual question so everyone doesn't have to ask?

You could stop using imagination.

Personally I consented for piercings around 6/8, and consented to allowing them to pierce my ears.
