Rebel Kid Dares To Be Different - Doesn't Get A Tattoo

School officials in California are considering expelling a 16 year old kid because he hasn't got a tattoo - they are calling him a rebel!

"Everyone has tattoos these days" said principal Frank Futcher, who has a tattoo of a rose on his arm "All the kids have them, most of the parents, the teachers - everyone has tattoos - they are a sign of individualism!"

However Rocky Chavez isn't impressed.

"I don't want to be like everyone else" said the surly rebel "I refuse to conform - I don't want to be like everyone else - I am not getting a tattoo and that is final!"

Other parents are worried that Rocky's attitude will affect their kids "We don't want our kids thinking that it is ok not to have a tattoo - good lord everyone should have them, they are harmless, this kid is an outcast - he is just trying to be macho!" said one horrified parent.

Some employers agree with the school.

"We would never consider employing anyone without a tattoo" said one boss "I mean, they are so common that anyone without one is different now...ironic, really, but that's what happens when little girls and puffs start doing ink - I know sailors and bikers are trying to get rid of theirs now - because they realize they look like everyone else - like a cunt."
