I just had to respond. I'm in my 40's, never had a tattoo, but planning on getting one - just one. But that woman should thank God that that is her biggest problem. My 15 year old step-son has just been admitted into rehad - yesterday - for at least the next 3 weeks...and this may not be the end of it. The kid is addicted to drugs, which is like a cancer eating this family alive. I can only wish it were just tattoo's that we were concerned about.
My son, who is 13, wants to get a tatto and I've told him when he is 16 he can get one...or a couple, but that's it. When he's 18, he can do what he wants. It's not drugs or booze, it's art for heavens sakes! I know art to some, ruplusion to others.
I have no desire to cover my body, but if that's what makes some one else happy, then so be it. That woman should count her blessings, and realize that as long as her daughter is in school, is doing well, staying clean, staying sober, and not struggling with stubance abuse, she should be proud, happy, and grateful to God for what she has. And give her daughter a great big hug for being so!!!
