Parents can attempt to discourage tattooing and piercing by explaining the health risks of infection or blood-borne diseases, but remember that kids are armed with something grownups will never have--the invincible confidence of youth. That is what makes them such good skateboarders and roller-coaster riders. So after you've made all your best arguments, show your kid that you know a thing or two about the impermanence of fashion.
