I don’t know why they can’t be helpful tats like the one that [Kelly](http://www.allbestpics.com/media/pics/87/87-600.jpg) girl has. 😉

Are you being intentionally stupid, or do you really not realize that’s what the tattoo is depicting?

I’m not sure what point you’re going for here. If you’re saying raping an actual infant is worse than a tattoo of an infant being raped, then okay, I’ll grant you that. But that doesn’t make the tattoo good.

I honestly don’t think that’s what it’s depicting. It’s not the tattoo-ee’s daughter and it’s not a child. It’s an anime character, for people who like anime porn.

Now if the tattoo little girl had a tattoo little girl on her who had a tattoo little girl on her…

Now THAT would be over the top.

Oh! That changes everything.

It’s a tattoo of a child-faced anime character crying as she’s being raped.

Carry on.

This tattoo way exceeds the “tramp stamp” federal guidelines. It likely exceeds the “crazy assed slut shipping label” requirements as well.

The picture I saw was of her nude, so it’s a little more obvious that her real vag is the vag of the baby.

When I saw the thread title I thought of that tattoo, thinking “I bet it’s not as bad as the one I’m thinking of!”

Are you being intentionally stupid? It’s a tattoo, it’s not raping a little kid as she’s clawing at her mother’s stomach.

Raping an actual infant is worse than a tattoo of an infant being raped\*, you’ll grant me that? Like, that’s even up for debate?  
\*This isn’t a tattoo of an infant being raped!

It’s a fucking TATTOO! (And when exactly did I say it was good?)

Since neither of you is actually going to have sex with or ever meet this woman why do you care what she has tattooed on her body? She is _Charlie_! People have a right to create images that offend you.

CMC fnord!

It’s still a cartoon character. I’m not saying it’s the most kosher thing in the world, but people are in to anime porn and some (a lot?) of that anime porn involves female characters drawn to look young and the rape thereof.

If it were Bugs Bunny would you be weirded out by the bestiality, or just the cartoon fetish?

I don’t condone this sort of thing - the rape fantasy or the pedophile fantasy. But it’s out there, and that’s what I see this tattoo as depicting.

Whatever it is, it’s not a portrait of anyone’s little girl being raped while she cries and grabs on to her mother’s stomach. It’s just cartoon fantasy.

At least all of you guys now have a warning to say “no” when this woman propositions you for sex. Crisis averted.

Nobody coould figure out what the fuck you were trying to say, is all.

And people also have a right to be offended.

That’s _not_ what the tattoo is depicting. It’s a little girl having sex, clutching the sheets in pleasure. Gross, but a completely different kind of gross than what you’re claiming it is.

My mileage varies. To me it looks like fear and pain. Admittedly, it’s hard for me to look at that thing objectively. I have a visceral reaction.
