I see a lot of people who list "how will you explain them to your future children" as a reason for not getting a tattoo. I would like to know if any parent has had explaining to do because of ink...
thanks! =0)

BTW, I have three children, and they have not had a negative word about my tattoos, or my husband's.

I do not have any children of my own, but I do babysit three small children, and I have many cousins and other relatives that have little ones, and I've never gotten a negative reaction from them, either!
In fact, the kids kind of flock to me.
They like the pretty colors. I think I'm like a giant coloring book to them! Lol.
I once babysat two girls who were 8 and 10, and they spent hours going through my case of belly button rings, making me try on different ones, and they were fascinated by how they looked. Haha.
I just wish everyone could be as open minded and accepting as children are...

My dad has tattoos. And until a few years ago he had a pot leaf tattoo. When we were younger, him and my mom lied to my sister and I and they told us that it was a Canadian maple leaf. When we found out we were a little disappointed that first of all my dad would be dumb enough to have that tattoo, but also that we were lied to about it. I think there is nothing wrong with anyone getting a tattoo, but you should really think about what you are getting if you have children or are planning on having children. My dad had to get that tattoo covered and now he has an awesome wolf tattoo.

Quite the opposite. My husband and I are quite inked; my 4-year-old has wondered allowed why other kids parents' "skin is so boring." It's explaining to the grandparents that's tough:).

well, i'm not a parent but both of my parents have tattoos. my mom has one and is thinking about getting another and my dad has one and is getting another one from my tattoo artist on friday. i was excited when they got tattoos. and i have friends who are parents and their children all like their tattoos. i'm sure there will come a time in adolescence when kids may be somewhat embarassed by parents tattoos but most adolescents are embarassed of their parents period. tattoos or not.

My oldest son was scared of one of my tats when he was a baby, like 2 years old. But none of my kids are afraid or negative about any of them now.

My son is only 15 months so I don't know yet but if he wants one when he is older I'm fine with it as long as he has thought long and hard about what he wants and the tattoo place is clean...

never .....unfortunately that also includes them wanting one their selves...which i said is fine when they are at least 18. I have no problem what so ever with any age showing ink....you should be proud...think of your grandparents and so on who got tatted when they were in some foreign country for standing up for our country.

actually my 5- year old son asked me just yesterday about my tat. i have an eagle-globe-anchor (u.s.marine logo) on my right arm and he thinks it is the coolest thing. but i think it all really depends on a few things like the type of tat, like is it of a nude nature? is it offensive? or is it something like a butterfly? i think the real question is will YOU regtret it? just my opinion.
