Stevehome_99 reacted to RockHardNYC in Justin Bieber's tattoos.I guess there's no going back.
The worst part of it all: Whether we like his talent or not, Justin Bieber is a cultural icon. He will influence young boys and girls for a very long time. I cringe at the thought of all those parents whose kids will want to do similar things to their bodies. I cringe.
As a parent, it's very difficult to control the behavior of our children, no matter how much or how little we try. The pain of unconditional love can be devastating. My son got his first tattoo during his freshman year at college. It was small, on his forearm. He did not warn me or ask my permission. I'll never forget my discreet reaction and my follow-up lecture, warning him of the perils of visual extremes in our society. I always ended my lectures by saying, "No matter what you do or what you decide is best for you, I will always love you." Luckily for me he heard and understood the intent of my warning. He never got another tattoo, and the skin on his tall, lean body remains beautiful.
