Tattoos

This story reminds me of when I went into the Navy and my grandmother stood in front of me and gave me a lecture about how I had better not come home with a tattoo or I would have to face her. I didn't really plan on getting one but that made sure I wouldn't since I didn't want to have to face her wrath.

In all seriousness though I am always telling my children today that when it comes to piercing and tattoos what may seem cool today might not seem so cool down the road when your life has turned in a different direction. I guess if I was real truthful with them I would also tell them that tattoos can be removed but I don't so that they won't think about it.

What can I do to get my kid to listen...? The answer is brief: talk less. Nancy Samalin
