14yo got a tattoo

Just found out my 14yo daughter has a tattoo. I'm fuming. I had no knowledge of this, and she defiantly would not have had permission if she asked.
I found out after she had showered (it's on her ankle). I asked her what it was, and she ran into her room. Fast forward an hour to when she emerges. Big argument follows and she storms out and goes to her fathers house. As far as I could see it was an elephant with some morse code (I think) above it. She refused to tell me where she had gotten it done.

Wow. Just wow.

Phone. Gone. Permanently. (I'd have done that when the indecent images happened, never mind now)
Privileges. Gone. At least a month.
Tatooist. Reported to both the local authority and the Police.

She went and got another tattoo right after you spotting the first one. Shock Blatantly and deliberately disrespecting you.

Mine would be on lockdown. They'd be taken to and from school, school would be involved and aware and they'd be so busy she wouldn't have time to wish upon a boyfriend. Boyfriend would be getting a visit from the police better them than DH

She is a vulnerable child, who needs her parents to protect her from herself as well as others. You and your ex need to put your collective feet down with a firm hand. And keep 'em down!

Good luck!
