[quote=Anonymous]Remind them that it is the equivalent of a college student in 1977 deciding to permanently affix their purple plaid bell bottoms to themselves for the rest of their life. Or me in the mid 1980s deciding to go through the rest of my life with permed enormous hair. Encourage self-expression through a nose ring (piercings easy to remove) or a tattoo on a more covered part of the body. What is edgy and cool at age 19 is cringe-worthy at 30. I am SO glad that tattoos were not a thing when I was in college. This approach seems to be resonating with my younger college kids. Oldest has---shall we say---made some VERY unfortunate tattoo choices. I find it so sad---she looks back on her HS senior photo and hates the way she chose to wear her hair. I just wonder if she will feel the same way re her extremely unattractive forearm tattoo in 8 years time.[/quote]
