My son told me, "Dad, I would like to have a tattoo."
I told him, "No, nobody has one in our family .. and you are not having one."
He asked me, "Why not? All my friends have a tattoo!"
I told him, "It would be a stain on your body!"
He pleaded with me, "Dad, please, please, just a cartoon character on the belly?"
And after many hours of discussion I gave in and decided to let him.
After all, he was a young man with his own freedom of choice ...
and I thought ...
a cartoon character .... is probably not so bad !
