4 out of 5 dentists DO NOT agree!

About a week ago, we had a conversation with my daughter about piercings and tattoos, and then I did a blog about it - sharing with you some lovely photos of why I thought it might be a poor choice to pierce her face...She opted not to get the piercing, and instead wants another tattoo instead.

Well...we've all heard those commercials on TV and radio advertising some 'mouth-type' product and the announcer going on and on about "Bla, bla... 4 out of 5 dentist's agree...bla bla bla" right?

Yeah.

This morning, I found an article on the internet describing some new fad as being the 'white collar' tattoo. Here's a photo. Yes, that is a tooth.

Not just any tooth though, that is a FRONT TOOTH.
OK, so techincally, it's a crown, but it's still the tooth that is
in the front of your FACE!

Now, who doesn't love Abe Lincoln? The dude aboloished slavery, had his face carved into the side of a mountain, we still celebrate his friggin birthday AND he's on our money! He acheived some serious status... Does that entitle him to take up residence in our mouths as well as our hearts? Uhm, not if you ask me...

Hey though, don't be discouraged, if Abe isn't your favorite president, how about good old George Washington?












Still no?
OK, how about David Letterman? Amy Winehouse? Oh! I got it! ELVIS!!! Yeah, now that is what I'm talking about...

Maybe, you're not so fond of putting something like a tattoo on your front tooth. (Although I can't imagine why, it seems like such a great idea...) Not to worry, there are still back teeth! No need to put it right out where everyone can see it all the time, make em work a little! It might be fun to let them think you've been blessed with some back tooth decay that has the likeness of Mickey Mouse or a rooster! Trickery at it's best! Then, think of the fun you'll have when you pull your cheek aside and show them what it REALLY is!

Completely stupid!

There are a ton more pictures of these 'tattooed teeth', but I can't stand looking at them anymore. If you want to check out the rest of them on your own time, feel free to go to the website where I found them... http://www.toothartist.com/

I don't imagine that your dentist will destroy a perfectly good tooth, in order for you to get one of these (YES, it does require a visit to the dentist to get one) and if you would actually consider asking your dentist to destroy a perfectly good tooth just so you CAN get one - may I also recommend the following website.... www.psychologyinfo.com/directory/

Rock on with your bad self...
