I don't know if AIBU.
DS is 18 and going through a really gothic stage. The latest of many stages he has naturally gone through in his teens.
He's working on minimum wage, not sure what he wants to do career wise. He pays about £40 a week here (this is NRR).
He's skint and told me tonight he's "dropping in" his tattoo design to the tattoo place tomorrow.
It's huge and covers the whole of his upper arm and is really relevant to what he is in to right now at 18 yrs old.
I have a tattoo on my back. I had it 11 yrs ago when I was 30 and it covers a horrible operation scar.
His dad is covered in tattoos (we are not together) and had several large ones when we got together in our early twenties which he now regrets.
AIBU to feel a bid sad and worried that DS (who is still as skinny as a rake) is potentially going to cover one of his arms in something he will later hate (I remember a lot of people getting Celtic bands in the mid 90s as teens which they may now regret).
I know there I cannot stop him but is there any advice or guidance I can give him?
