[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 343773, member: 2211"] [SIZE=4][COLOR=purple]My difficult child, now 20, begged me to allow her to get a tattoo at 15. I refused. She decided to do it herself and ended up with a hideous scar on her ankle. When she was 17 (by law they much be 18 here) I took her to a very well known tattoo parlor with excellent artists and she was able to put a beautiful fairy in that place - it completely covered the scars she created. [/COLOR][/SIZE] [SIZE=4][COLOR=purple][/COLOR][/SIZE] [SIZE=4][COLOR=purple]She has since added the following: 2) A fairly large Betty Boop on her lower back; 3) a peace dove with 'Mom' written next to it on the front inside her hip (she put the mom on it so I wouldn't get mad!), 4) an verse about sisters being forever in Italian around her wrist (dedicated to her sister that made said sister shudder); 5) the name "Terry" with scrolls on the inside of her other wrist dedicated to my mom; 6) a multi colored star on the center of the back of her neck; And...she has her nipples pierced.[/COLOR][/SIZE] [SIZE=4][COLOR=purple][/COLOR][/SIZE] [SIZE=4][COLOR=purple]I personally feel that I should have just let her live with the hideous scar on her ankle rather than cave and allow a real tattoo...it's like I just said to he.ll with it, you know?
