If I'm coming off as being judgemental, I apologize. I'm not meaning to be. My viewpoint is largely due to the fact that it's something I don't really get and isn't part of my lifestyle, or anyone else's that I'm friends with in person. My father got a pair of eagle tattoos before he went to Viet Nam. Now, he always wears longer sleeved shirts to cover up an error he made when he was just a teenager. It's that sort of regret that your parents are trying to steer you away from.
