[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How would this even possibly be a no?

Some moms are the most uncaring people in the world. You don’t need a license to become a mom and whew, there are some bad ones.

If you say no - YOU go to the friend and their parents and say no. Don’t make your poor daughter to it.

This is a core memory. Do mess it up. [/quote]

I would say no and am not uncaring. I would also tell the family myself…no problem with that. [/quote]

You would say no and you [i]don't like to think of yourself as[/i] uncaring. But you are.

A fifteen-year-old is dying and has thought of something that would give her some comfort. It's something that's not your style, and I get that, because it's not mine, either. But one of the reasons it's not mine is that even if I liked the way it looked now (I wouldn't), it will look terrible on 30 years.

Your daughter's friend doesn't have 30 years. [/quote]

Right. The friend will be long dead and the daughter will still have a hideous trashy tattoo. Either the girls have a lasting bond or they don’t. A tattoo won’t change that. My best friend in college died of a brain aneurysm. I named my daughter after her.  And I’m a hard no on the tattoo.[/quote]
