I am responsible for them and their actions until they become adults. that's a responsibility I do not take lightly.
IMO a parent that allows his or her young children to get a tattoo is irresponsible and lacks good judgment. Why would I allow my children to mark themselves forever with something that more often than not carries a stigma of trouble-makers, rebellious anti-social misfits, or impulsive follow the crowd types?
Same as if I don't want my son wearing his shorts down around his knees or his ball cap sideways. I've raised him to not be a street hood or a gangster, why would I allow him to dress like one?
I know you used the winky emoticon suggesting you were joking, but I also think there was something behind the statement. If that is the case you have no room to judge my parenting.
