[quote=Anonymous]OP here -

I'm sorry I come across as being unreasonable, but I am just angry and unsure what to do.

My reasoning behind pulling our funding for college is that this incredibly immature decision makes his degree worthless. Having a tattoo makes him unhirable outside crappy restaurant jobs. No professional setting would hire him, so why should we spend thousands of dollars on a worthless piece of paper? If he's happy being a tattooed thug working as a server then that's fine, but I'm not okay with throwing more of our money towards his now-worthless degree.

Plus, while we can afford to cover his education, personally I feel like the money would be better kept in a savings account for his two younger siblings who have not thrown their employment future in the gutter.

Again, ideally, I would love to see him grow up, get some loans, and should he get lme and DH would likely be willing to pay for those loans once they come due, assuming he comes to his senses and removed the tattoos.[/quote]
