When I was a child, and I mean young, I broached the subject with my father about getting a tattoo. He told me that if I did I wouldn't live under his roof any longer. Well, this wasn't really an issue as I've always been afraid of needles. I guess, as I look back on it now, the question was more along the lines of seeing how far I could push his limits, which were obviously not broad enough to allow his young child to get a tattoo - even if it said "I <3 Mom."
