Has she had bunion surgery?
Ive had the same with my youngest two, when son got his tongue pierced my initial words were "thats what girls and gay blokes do, something to do with sensations during or.. , are you trying to tell me something?" perhaps I shouldnt have said it, it was an involuntary expression, then he went on to get his lip pierced either sideand a smily face tatoo on his ankle.
Daughter got her nose then her lip pierced too, and I am sure she has a tattoo, Ive never seen it but I did see a lot of wrappers for sterile dressings on her bedroom floor,
They both know I dont particularly like it, but there is nothing I can say after its done, but showing them pictures of infected piercings and wrinkly old ladies with tattoos was fairly ineffective.
Why a bug eyed dog? Is it a charicature of a family pet or just a doodle she liked?
My 18 year old nephew wants 'sleeves done'. He is skint though so maybe he'll have changed his mind by the time he has the money. Though it looks like you can get 'value' tattoos.
I'm sure "say nowt" is the best response, but I doubt I could have suppressed a groan, or a sharp intake of breath. But we are old fogeys, to whom such things identify people as trollops or dodgy characters. They are young followers of fashion to whom they identify people as trendy, modern & smart.
Fashions change, we should not judge them by our standards. In the larger scheme of things it is nothing is it? What if she had got pregnant from a one-night stand, or run over after a night of binge drinking? Or had a batch of dodgy drugs? You have got off lightly so far I would suggest.
Wouldn't this lot be better on The Lounge ?

Over Easter the Winter family were out on the slug - very rare occasion.
We went ashore to a pub for lunch - even more uncommon.
My 19 year old gap year daughter was with us and kicked her shoes off. It was the first time I had seen - or even been aware of - the tattoo she now has on her ankle. It had remained hidden since last summer.
What would have been the best thing to say.... as opposed to what I did actually say.
It is incredibly ugly - the words bubble says "I love dad" and is done in biro and is therefore not permanent.... but the bug eyed dog is.
