You're right, to each their own. I just think that with regards to this particular situation, it was inappropriate for this to have taken place at a school function. A temporary tattoo placed where some unknown individual physically had to lift the back of a child's shirt is not acceptable in my opinion. What you, or whoever, allow your daughter to do, have on her body or even eat for breakfast :)lol:) is absolutely up to you.

I was all set to post about how I thought everyone was getting all riled up over something temporary and that, as a chaperone (which I have done many, many times), it really is about making sure you don't lose the kids you are looking after and that everyone comes home safe. The fact that this child chose to get something temporary applied to her body is not a big deal. But I guess I was thinking more along the lines of the water/stick on kind of tattoos (yes, I read that it was henna, but it didn't really click) and that a friend probably put it on. After reading the statement in the above post, I have to say that I have changed my mind. Allowing someone else to lift the shirt and touch the 10-year-old was completely inappropriate. It really is not about the tattoo at all, but rather the application of that I find troubling. The chaperone should have drawn the line there, regardless of what he thought about the tattoo.

Feel better?

I still think you should MYOB. It's not your child. You and your husband chaperone so you should not have to worry about it. If the parents of the child who got the tat don't like it they can complain. Henna tats are expensive and her parents probably gave her the money. I also have a ten year old and she knows right from wrong. She knows what it is allowed and what isn't. At 10 she is old enough to know that she is responsible for her actions and if she makes bad choices she will have consequences.

I think the school should be informed when chaperones aren't chaperoning and are letting the kids do whatever they please, don't you?

Exactly, I would have mentioned this exchange between the kids to the teacher. The teachers assign kids to the chaperones, they need to know that in the future this particular parent obviously can't make a judgment call and tell a child no. He should only chaperone his own children because of this.

All parenting styles are different, to some it was wrong and others not.
You have to consider this was 'school' trip, had the teacher allowed this :doh:.
In my opinion a chaperone is a stand-in, in a sense, of the teacher.

I meant that I was ordering myself to shut up. You can raise your kids how you want. If you think that it's okay for your child to have a temp tramp stamp then YOU get to deal with the consequences because you are the parent and YOU made that decision. Have fun. :yay:

I don't feel piercings or temp tattoos have any relevance to parenting skills. My daughter is 16 and has her belly button pierced. She is a good kid who gets good grades and knows right from wrong. I personally dont like the tattoos on their lower back but to each their own.

Really? So you would be fine with her getting her "personal area" pierced? How about just her nipples? No biggie right?

Belly button piercings on 16 year olds are trashy. Besides...they are sooooooo 5 years ago.

Thats YOUR opinion. She paid for it herself. She is a great kid. She will probably decide in a few years she no longer wants it. She is far from trashy.

At least you can remove the belly button ring, a tramp stamp is with you for life unless you have the $$ to get it removed.

Thats true. She has no tattoos, when she gets 18 that might change. I can only suggest she not do it then. But until then she wont have one.

Pretty sure there is a permanent scar when you get your belly button pierced, if I recall correctly :shrug:

I don't think it is majorly trashy for a 16 y/o to have a BB ring...though I know GF's uncle flipped out when he found out she had one because "he knew what those were for" or "what boys do with those" or something like that :lmao:

I could see letting my (hypothetical) 16 year old make that decision. 18 for a tattoo though :yay:

I've seen some great cover-ups done :yay:
What is the one on your shoulder and how big? If its tiny you can probably get something meaningful to cover it with :yay:

It's actually the one on my left shoulder that I'm eventually getting redone. It's a "Swoosh". It'll be a banner with my kids' names in it whenever I get around to it.
