I will use that on my 9 year old when he gets that age. He has already commented about others' tattoos and I am worried. I just can't stand tattoos. And I didn't spend all these years keeping my son relatively scar free only to have him ruin his skin on purpose. Obama's strategy may work with his daughters, but I am afraid it would only encourage my son.
