This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human. Am I the A-hole for getting a teacher fired because of my son's head tattoo that I gave him? You know, sometimes you encourage your kid being a rebel. You know what I mean? Like, I want him to be a rapper. Exactly. And so to be a rapper, you got to get a face tag. Where we need, we need all of the, little 69s, you know, tear drop, gummy bears. You need it all. You need the whole package. Exactly. Yeah. How are we ever going to sign a record deal without it? Exactly. So my son, just turned 16, has had alopecia since he was young. For those of who don't know, his hair falls out. It can progress

with severe stress and since elementary school he has been bullied mercilessly for it. The only real

treatments were these injections into his scalp, which I'm sure you can imagine, are super

painful. It was getting to the point where he'd become anxious closer to the doctor's visit.

So I started looking

at different options. I came across micro pigmentation, which is not a bunch of little pigs

that dance across your body. But I want tiny pigs. You want tiny pigs? Tika pigs. Just a newsflash.

There are no tiny pigs. There are only baby pigs that turn into giant pigs. He agreed that

this seemed like the best option.

So for his birthday, I managed to get an appointment set up under his doctor's recommendation, which made it totally legal because it can be like it's like illegal to like tattoo a kid under 18.

Right.

In many cases.

Right.

Unless they have alopecia or want to be a rapper.

Yeah.

We drove two hours out of our way and spent the weekend in a larger city to get this done since our town is fairly small. I don't know how to describe it. Even if it's buzz, this stuff looks so real and his confidence is just through the roof. He's no longer hiding under hats. He feels confident with his new quote unquote hair and it's really great to see. That's awesome. Yeah, yeah, I love this. The kid is just like feeling himself. He's like, you know, got that got that, I don't know, who has a bald head? Woody Harrelson look or. Maybe Dwayne the Rock Johnson. Boy in the Rock Johnson. Well but he but he has like who has like a buzz

buzz cut that looks good oh right right right justin bb oh brittany spears after that thing at that

brittany spears look perfect comparison perfect buzz look you know or will spitz wife got that

g-i jane look i'm honestly so glad that we made the decision because now we can

just move on from this. It's a huge weight lifted off of his shoulders every day. Probably his head and

his shoulders. That's true. His head and shoulders, which he does not need because he got no hair.

His school, however, thinks otherwise. He goes to a pretty strict Catholic school.
