Dear Queenie,
Our daughter got some tattoos on her arms on her arms and legs. She’s an adult and can do as she likes, but we think she is disrespecting us because we don’t believe in disfiguring the body God gave you and she knows how we feel about such things.
Queenie, what do you think about all this?—Angry parents
Dear Parents,
Apparently your daughter does not share your beliefs, or considers her tattoos more “decorative” than “disfiguring” – like wearing accessories that she cannot ever lose (or take off when she is with you).
If the tattoos disturb you that much, ask your daughter to wear long sleeves and long pants to cover them up when she is with you, but please do not let this have a seriously bad effect on your relationship with her.
