Just don't use the phrase, "well, there is nothing you can do about it now. It is already there." Very bad idea. I don't know from personal experience, but I do have a friend with scars on his arm where his mother tried to remove it, personally.

Remember what not to say. If parents are mad enough, they will do something just to prove you wrong.

Also, do not say anything related to "he is old enough to make his own decisions," because this will end up being bad also. Siblings have lost all ability to get any money out of parents because of this.

Also, try to just get them talking to each other in a civil manner. Once this happens, it is alot easier to make things flow in the right direction.

haha very good advice. i tried the whole " he is old enough thing" and like you said that didnt go over well at all haha.

how about you tell them that they should be talking to the person who made that decision. i dont know what they expect you to do about it.

Well, we knew they would find it eventually. I would say tell your parents he could have done worse but I don't think that would go over too well. Maybe the storm will scare everyone enough to make them focus on loving each other and spending quality time together that they won't think about the tattoo. Oh who am I kidding, that only happens on Leave it to Beaver!
