I confirm with what I thought,
I assumed the contention was that single line in bold, after the heading.

If you look at the booklet with the article, there's a sentence in bold before the article starts?

I RIPPED MY EXAM IN TEARS?

if i recall correctly, this should be right:

tattoos are more a fashion symbol than a sign of deviance and criminality.

Hahaha - that article + the comments + her picture made me laugh...

"An op-ed piece commissioned by The Age was given the fake by-line 'Helen Day', some seriously shitty 'youth' editing and turned over to a horde of 18-year-olds who have joined ''We hate Helen'' pages by the thousands..."

So we're a horde of 18-year-olds? And the original article wasn't much better than the altered one...
