I am a terrible parent
So I had this old, faded tattoo on my shoulder. I was fine with the tattoo, but I wanted it redone so it didn't look so blah. I wanted to add some color. Long story short, I ended up getting it redone, and a big stylized lotus put around it.
Great. Except that I failed to realize that part of the design was so close to the middle of my back, that I couldn't reach it. And its been so long since I have had work done that I failed to recall all the clean up and aftercare that needs to be done. And my wife is out of town for the next 10 days. Sooooo....anyhoo, I've got my 7 year old daughter acting as my nurse, cleaning my tattoo and applying bandages. Great parenting.

Preface: I have young daughters too. So please take this question with that in mind. I am not trying to insult, but to learn.
How will you feel if she comes home with a tattoo? Or two, or more? Or a lower back one?

I wouldn't be too concerned, just the fact that you are spending time with your daughter and she is spending time with you is more than most parents do. I'm sure she will go up to be a fine woman. Just save up so you are ready when she asks for tuition to med school.

 @KaptKaos, I'm fine with her getting tattoos. I'm not fine with her getting bad tattoos. She's actually enjoying her role as care provider. She feels important being able to help out, and I have complimented her on her excellent beside manner. She's charging me a quarter for every treatment.

I think the quality time spent with your daughter is a memory she'll retain for many years, regardless of what you do together.

She will see your tat when she is older and it will bring back memories. You're doin' fine.

Moms out of town, and we have been having fun. Trips to the books store, going out to dinner, slot car racing, art time, massive pillow fights, popcorn, Mythbusters marathons......
I have a feeling I'm going to miss this when she's 13.*sniffle*
