[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 234807, member: 1233"] Wiz is 17 and in a program at a technical school where students can get any services but the food court free (and the food court is amazing food priced dirt cheap - basically priced to cover costs of food and equipment - it is a training school for some really great cooks). So he has had all SORTS of colors in his hair this year. And it all gets done for free. He can even get FREE massages, of which I am TOTALLY jealous! Right now his normally brown hair is orange. Kind of copper in some lights at this point, but in some lights it looks kinda like Ronald McDonald. We just smile - he has natural curl and his hair gets very bushy if not cut short, and of COURSE he doesn't want it short, LOL! We do discourage the clothing with skulls on them - too many younger kids in the family that would be bothered by it. And his job is OK with hair coloring, but not with piercings or tattoos, and he is really liking the $$. I have told him that if he gets a tattoo or a piercing he will have to pay cash out of his pocket for a tetanus shot and for tests for hepatitus, etc.... (until just a year ago it was illegal to give a tattoo in our state, so this rule was made so he wouldn't have some "friend" give him a home-made tattoo or piercing. Once he is 18 he can do what he wants with-in limits - nothing that is scary to the younger kids that can't be covered easily. I think you are wise to pick your battles. Some are not worth fighting.
