A few of you answered "Not under my roof"
So say your 18yo dc was living under your roof, took their own money and came back tattooed.
What would you do?

If she has enough money to go get a tattoo then she can either move out or start paying mommy some rent

They'll know not to let me see it, so if one of them does it I won't know about it.
The thing is that I don't want them to get something like a tatoo and then decide that it was just a phase and their miserable with it afterwards. I know alot of good people w/ tatoos. A Christian missionary has a cross tatooed on his back but he carried the picture of it around w/ him for years before he actually had it done. I would rather my kids put that much thought into something as opposed to turning 18 and running out to the first tatoo parlor they see and getting something they think is cute. However, I still don't want to see it. I love their beautiful, perfect, non-inked bodies just the way they are.

18 and her own money? I'd have no problem with it.. it's her body and if she ends up regretting it later, then she ends up regretting it later... consider it a learning experience. DH would probably ask her where she got it done, ask her when she's getting her next one, and then volunteer to take her to get her next one so he can go with her and get one himself

It sure as heck better not be a tramp stamp or on her neck.. basically anywhere obvious so it can't easily be covered up to look 'proper' for a job. She's heard me say things about tramp stamps, so I can't see her getting one there - plus it disgusts her too (certain locations for tattoos).
Of course to those who have that kind of tattoo, I mean no offence, but they have a very very bad reputation around here and the only females who get them done around here are.. well.. tramps

We aren't to give a baby milk, berries, or peanut butter. We are to introduce new foods one at a time. But it's OK to inject several viruses, bacteria, aluminum, formaldehyde, phenoxyethanol, animal serum, mercury, squalene and more into an 8 week old? I don't think so.
In order to be healthy it is an unfortunate fact that people must be allowed the opportunity to be ill. I trust my body and those of my children to work correctly against the relatively benign diseases they vax for, and do not trust the ingredients in the vaccinations.
Our choice to not vax isn't based in ignorance, poverty, conspiracy theory and rumor. It's research, common sense, fact and evidence based..something the medical community has largely forgot about.

I totally agree with pp, when the twins turn 18, we're selling the house and buying a motorhome-we're retiring! The kids should all be in college, and in their own townhouse, we'll come visit them. You can't complain that you can't buy groceries if you can afford a tattoo.

Well as a Momma with a tat. I would be ok with it if it was her own money and I would hope that it was put in a place where it could be covered up if need be. But she better be paying rent if she can afford a tat. I would certainly hope she put a lot of thought into it first. I do not regret mine. I love mine even if its a little faded and stretched a little bit now(its right above my left breast, you know saggy boobs). I am considering getting another one to represent the kids but that is still in the thinking stages. Took me a year or two before I got the first and I had to figure out what I wanted.

I don't mind tattoos, and I hope my kids stick around longer than 18.

If my kids left at 18 id be concearned. But mostly because its not the norm in Australia for univeristy kids to live on campus, so the first few years they commute from home and uni, majority actually dont mvoe out until they ahve their degree.
But anyway, 18, their money, good for them if thats what they wanted. If I said antyhign else id be a hypocrite.
