[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 343031, member: 1233"] As for the rats, well, there is a fix for that. Open the cage door. You have enough hunters to handle the problem. Tattoos? I would hold out until 18. If she argues, just give her a list of all the diseases one can catch through tattoos. Include the problems with MRI's and other medical imaging heating the metals in the inks up - some people have gotten serious burns. When Wiz got to the whine and argue until they wear down point we often went into "no arguments no negotiations". If he started we left the room or sent him to his room. Period. I even made sure the lock on our door worked and kept many of the "fun" things in our room so if I had to go there then he missed out on gameboy, etc... and I had things to occupy me. When he stopped then I would again listen to him and speak to him. It wasn't fun, but done calmly it can be effective. The first week or two is not fun. You can also inform her that the cost of the tattoo will include the costs of testing for things like hepatitis, etc... on a regular basis. Wiz was told he would have to pay for these even if the doctor did not do the tests. It made tattoos so expensive as to be totally not something he felt was worthwhile. Esp because I told him it would NOT be filed iwth our insurance - he had to pay the FULL cost. Surely some of us hear can help with a list of ways tattoos can go wrong including diseases and disfigurement. Mean I may be, but I would play on her anxiety on this topic. At least while she is a minor. Tattoos just can have such long term regret, esp when done very young - before she knows what career she wants. It can really hold you back if you have tattoos, at least in some fields. [/QUOTE]
