Tattoos

My oldest daughter is to that age where she thinks tattoos and piercings are pretty neat. She knows that they are not allowed, except for one piercing in each ear, as long as she is in the house. I keep telling her that they might seem cool now but down the road when you have to get a job and make a living it <u>might</u> be an impediment. I see an <a href="http://www.csmonitor.com/2004/0913/p13s02-wmgn.html" target="blank">article</a> now that backs up what I am saying. Now to just get her to believe it.<br />n<br />nThe whole issue reminds me of my grandmother. As I was getting ready to leave for the Navy I can remember her standing in front of me, looking up at me shaking her finger, and telling me my body was fine the way it was and I was not to profane it by getting a tattoo. It took everything I had not to laugh at her and I promised her I would not get a tattoo. I never considered at the time nor since on getting a tattoo but I will never forget her scolding me. Probably one of my fondest memories of my Mom's mom.<br />n<br />n<b>It&acirc;
