My 17 year old told me he wants a tattoo for Christmas.
And was shocked when I said no.
I’m not anti-tattoo. I have one. On my forearm so everyone sees it.
But I told him that’s something he commits to after he’s an adult. I won’t be approving that while he’s still a minor. It took me years to figure out what I wanted permanently on my body.
I also think he’ll decide no - this is a boy who stopped freaking out about needles THIS YEAR!
Would you get your 17 yr old a tattoo?
