My children seem to be watching what their friends have done as far as tattoos and piercings and opted to avoid them for the most part. My daughter has several earring holes and one nose piercing for a small gold stud.

When they were entering the years when they were thinking about this I suggested that they look at the things they liked a couple of years ago, games, television, etc., and would they want those characters or games or whatever as tattoos now, or would they have moved on? You have to live with the decision, so make it something you're pretty certain won't bother you later. Their bodies are temples, and they're both over 21. Any decisions are theirs, I've had as much input as I ever will. Personally I hope they eschew tattoos, but I won't be shocked if they add any.
