At last the HB29 Bill, lowering the age to get a tattoo from 21 to 18, is now a law in Illinois. The bill was voted with 48-to-7 in favor despite the governor’s objections. Severe penalties have been enforced for the offenders.
Few think that teens don’t have enough judgment to go for this permanent decision. Of course they have and parents can play an important role in polishing it. The artist too must make sure that the person getting a tattoo is well informed.

There are people who wants tattoo because it is their way of expressing their self. I just hope that this HB29 Bill in Illinois will be properly imposed. However, the Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, along with his chief of staff John Harris, was arrested in Chicago Tuesday morning on charges that included conspiring to commit wire fraud and soliciting bribes in exchange for the state’s Senate seat, vacated by President-elect Barack Obama. This is the second time an Illinois governor has been arrested on federal charges. George Ryan, Illinois’ 39th governor, was also charged for wielding his authority to help himself and his friends. According to the Illinois state law, it is the responsibility of the governor to fill the senate seat and much like Ryan, Governor Blagojevich saw an opportunity to use his power to leverage amenities for himself. According to the news, Blagojevich, 52, was hoping to get a substantially higher salary, a position on the board for his wife, a cabinet post and more in exchange for his choice of a senate replacement. Looks like the governor got a little bit too greedy. The FBI has filed a 76-page indictment against both Blagojevich and Harris. The affidavit reports that the federal authorities caught Blagojevich conspiring to sell or trade the vacant Senate seat on court-ordered wiretaps last month. The people of Illinois will have to wait patiently for the conclusion of this story. Times are rough and it’s about to get rougher, especially for both Blagojevich and his cohort John Harris.
