You strike me as someone who would know this answer already. Tattoos with few exceptions are considered trashy. She needs you for proper guidance, and this time that means NO.

I got my first when I was 17 as well. The thought to check ID came when they were already done. By that time I was out of school working 2 jobs. I am 34 now and have more ink now too. I have never regreted it either, but my parents still make "the face" whenever I get a new one.
There is no minimum age in VA. sadly. So it is legal with parental consent.

The proper response from someone who has a proper tattoo is to ignore anyone with an opinion of it. Becoming defensive would lead me to conclude the defender harbors regret over their choice.
Agreed! I ignore people who say anything about my tattoos.I know a few people who really upset when you mention them and its because they don't like the tattoo now and wish they never got it.
I love all my tats and I wouldn't change any one of them.

It is not a sensitivity issue but one of anger for judgmental, self riteous, and brash people. People that feel the need to express their disdain for things be some thing as simple as weather or not some one has tattoos anger me. You have no right to tell people that getting a tattoo is trashy. You do not have a right to trample on other peoples feeling or thoughts on matters. A simple "I do not like tattoos" would suffice, but no, you took it another step foward and called it trashy. I do not party, drink, or do drugs, my poularity is self earned for being a person that is not judgemental and for being able to accept people for what they want to be not what I want them to be. As far as being a good parent, yes i am, and in what I see in society now that has put me in a minority.
