[quote=Anonymous]OP, sorry some people are being hard on you. I think you asked an honest, non-judgmental question and people are getting defensive.

PPs have to admit that those who have tattoos on hands, necks, etc. are purposefully pulling themselves out of mainstream society (fine) and limiting their job prospects (not fine unless you're already independently wealthy). I understand not wanting your child to think it's "cool" to have a tattoo like that because it WILL limit them in life. I have faced this in my generally liberal workplace. I've also seen young people with tattoos that are spelled wrong or otherwise idiotic and I have absolutely judged them. There's no denying that they want people to view them differently, and that's okay as long as they know they will be limited in life.

Maybe what you need to do is have a frank conversation with your son about tattoos (it worked for me that my mom said she wouldn't pay for my college education if I got one). You could also approach the counselor and just let them know that you have this agreement with your son and so if he asks the counselor about tattoos that he should be advised to not get one until he's 30. By then, the allure will have faded.[/quote]
