My kids were asking about getting tattoos.
Instead of just blowing them off on the tats, I gave them the choice of a tattoo or a martial arts classes. They chose a Mixed Martial Arts class after attending a few different martial arts classes over the last two weeks.
Its fun for them, and they get improved self esteem, and they can kick anyone's tattooed ass that happens to make the mistake of messing with them. Already, my 10 year old knows how to take down an adult who has grabbed a hold of her, such as in a kidnap or abuse situation. Pretty cool.
So when you tattooed guys are ogling my daughter on the beach in a few years, just be aware that her tat free skin means she can kick your ass big time.
Just something to think about.
