[quote=Anonymous]I hate tattoos. Really do. And no,  kids really shouldn't just draw on themselves.  In fact most people are just drawing crap in ink on their skin because everything seems emotional and important  to  people.

But...this  really will  be a life long loss and attachment if this is, indeed, a close  friend, and not just a sweet acquaintance. I do think, at age 65, which I am (!) your daughter will still have this connection and memory of this child who died and this will be a sacred mark, not a tattoo.  In fact, I doubt she will  want to tatt herself up later in deference to this one which has meaning. It will be the only permanent way to keep a promise to always remember a person. That's if she really wants to and is not just  doing it out of emotion or maybe survival guilt.

I would support this..but it needs to be a very small and discreet symbol in honor of the childhood intimacy of friends  that they share,  interrupted by  such a sad tragedy. And it is  very sad. I'm sorry for all involved. [/quote]
