Would you be more upset over your teen a) coloring their hair or b) getting tattoos.

To me the answer is blindingly obvious. Colored hair grows out, or fades out. Tattoos are permanent. However, I was at a function once, and there was this guy there who, as it turned out, worked for the SRS specifically for families and children in crisis. He’d go to their homes and mediate and offer advice or whatever. Well, I was deep into kids too, via teaching AND I had teens, so we struck up a conversation. This very question came up…..I was floored when he was adamantly opposed to the kids coloring their hair, but all for them getting tats and facial piercings! He made some comment that led me to believe he thinks they’re….attractive, some how. And he said something like, “I can NOT believe you’d just let your kids color their hair any color they want!” I was left with my mouth hanging open! I mean…this guy worked with children, for the SRS?

What are your thoughts?
