I have one tatoo that I got when I was sixteen. I never thought about it much after the novelty wore off. Now.....I find my self in the uncomfortable and hypocritical position of trying to explain to my fourteen year old daughter that she shouldn't get a tatoo because she will undoubtedly regret it down the line for various reasons. Ironically, as I explained it to her, I heard my dad's voice in the back of my head ,giving me the same advice 25 yrs ago. I hope she listened better than I did. I hate to say this, but a dude getting tatted up is one thing. I have no problem with that. My little girls getting tatted up is a whole different story. Old fashioned, yep. Unfair, probably. Am I gonna change my position on girls with ink, absolutely not. Tatoos on girls to me are a lot like a late sixties muscle car with key scratches all down the sides. No offense intended to anyone. That's just the way I see it. Josh
