I am a mother of 3 children, I work full time at a doctor's office and I do have tattoos... My twin boys are wanting this for their birthday that is coming up in a couple of weeks. I personally think this a wonderful idea... I love the fact that they can be creative and use their imagination and come up with designs that THEY want. Think about it... This is no different than having a child that loves to sing or write. I think it gives them a chance to think for themselves and express what they like. Tattooing is an art... Those of you who degrade it should actually think of the time, hard work and practice that it takes for any type of artist to become "good" at what they are doing...
