[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just a DCUM wake up moment. We literally have to be one of the last metropolitans and areas of the country where tattoos are shunned. Literally go to the west coast. Entire people covered in tats. By the time your daughter is a professional, DC will be the same. Lots of people have tats (covered) in this town and more will have them uncovered.[/quote]

I know.. we recently moved out of DC and my kids commented on how every single one of the school staff has some sort of tattoo, most are really small i think  b/c these are some straight laced people, i would NEVER have thought they had a tattoo. There is zero stigma, i'm super conservative as is my husband. he works in a pretty stuffy law firm, one of the big ones and i think even there, having small tattoo on your inner arm or ankle is no biggie, it just has to be able to be covered up in court and s[b]ome of these judges still make the women wear skirt suit[/b]s. I think people make a good point of a constant reminder of grief or loss though, maybe have your daughter place it in an area that won't be visible all the time like above her elbow, on the inside, or her hip, she doesn't want to have to be explaining it to random strangers or forced to look at all the time and become numb to its meaning or carry around survivors guilt.
