    I'm dead against tattoos, always have been. A few months ago I discovered that my 23 year old daughter who lives at home has has a small discrete tattoo for four years and not told me...

    And my wife thinks I'm going to notice when she has a haircut or moves some furniture? Sheesh.

    I'd pay that to see your dead, decaying body

    Maybe so. But then again, not being a pretentious prick, that would not bother me.

    Two of my nephews got into tattoos in a big way. Their old man has quite a few but in later life regretted them, but didn't persuade them not to have then.

    Both went over the top, to the point one has tats covering most of arms, shoulder back (he's 25). The other not so many but had them arms (visible again) and on his neck / throat.

    Off shoot. Both are now so fooling ugly they cannot get a
    job.

    The odd one, discrete fair enough, but if you go
    over the top and can't get a job because of it then it's just dumb.

    Wasn't you was it?
    Given that he said his son was 18, thats unlikely isn't it?

    That'll be my line... well, almost. "Get what you like when you are 18"
