I know this is an older thread but I must have missed this one. With all the talk about tatoos and piercings going on I have to comment on the subject. I myself have 3 tatoo's, my husband has both her arms tatooed, my daughter who is 15 has her bellybutton, lip and tongue pierced, and my son who is 12 just had his both ears pierced. I get so mush flack about it. There was a elerly lady who told me,,,,, "what kind of mother are you to let your daughter do that to herself?" I usually just walk away and try not to lose it. But this lady was so asking for it. I told her,,,,, my daughter is a straight "A" student since kindergarten, she is a good girl and we have a loving and open relationship. I am so lucky!!! I told her as long as she keeps her grades up and doesn't start acting up I will let her be her own person. I won't let her do something that will harm her or others and if she happens to mess up the belly ring will be the first one to come off because it is the one that hurt her the most". I hate when people judge me. One of my aunts tried to tell me something one time then I had to remind her that all 3 of my kids have had perfact addendance at school. (my son was sick once and had to miss) All get good grades,,, Not like her kids who did not finish high school, never got good grades, started having babies at 15 and don't want to work.
I told my daughter that if she keeps up her grades through high school I will let her get a tatoo her senior year on her birthday. I'm a cool mom like that. But Like I said,,,,, It can all be taken away faste then they got them if they mess up and boy do they know it!!!
We are a tattooed & pierced famlly who love yorkies!!!
