[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 343591, member: 805"] Heather, isn't this just another thing you are allowing her to wear you down on? I think the [B]principle[/B] of this issue is far greater than the tatoo. You will have to take her, you will have to sign, you will have to pay. Is there anything she is going to do to earn this? Sounds like you have already made up your mind that this is going to happen at 16. I think it's too early to do something that lasts a lifetime, but she's your daughter and you know her better than I. I know my easy child talked about it for a couple years but every 6 or 7 months the content of the tatoo changed! I refused to be part of it and told her when she was 18 she could make the choice. By the time she was 18, the attraction of a tatoo had lessened a little. I reminded her how many tatoo designs she thought she would get over the last three years, about 3 or 4, and told her that was exactly my point prior to 18. You really don't know who you are going to be in the future so why do something so permanent now? She still talks about it from time to time, but at 19 it's her choice, her body, her money, her getting there on her own steam. Sharon [/QUOTE]
