[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am going to be in the minority, but I would not let my child get a tattoo. It's not to be mean or purposefully deny the other girl anything; I am just not comfortable with it. I would get my kid into therapy and have her discuss the situation with a neutral third party and encourage her to come up with other ways to honor her friend. Once my child turns 18, then they can do what they want.[/quote] Yes. People have lost their minds. A tattoo at 15? No. Not only may she not want to be reminded of her grief daily, but if it causes her more grief, makes her uncomfortable eventually, she wants to get it removed...that will be even harder. There is the cost and the pain of getting a tattoo removed, but also the huge emotional aspect of removing something she promised her friend she would have forever. That may give her a tremendous amount of guilt. Do not let her do this. I'd be angry at the other parents for encouraging this. [/quote]
