My 14 year old son is in Florida on vacation with his dad. He called me this morning and said "I hope you won't be mad but I got a tattoo." I was like.. a temporary one? Nope.. a real one! He said it's a small Chinese symbol on his arm. Of course with him being 14 his dad had to sign for permission. I am the custodial parent and was not asked about my opinion on this one bit! How would y'all feel about this?

I think it was not appropriate...but it's a choosing your battles kind of thing. I would certainly voice my opinion about it...to them both.

Yikes...noway
Are you ok with it?
Had you previously told him no?

I'd have a problem with the dad not asking, especially with a 14 yr old.
And I'd have a problem with my son if I had previously told him no.

Good luck with this!

I'm quite livid for sure.. but it's permanent and having it laser removed is costly unfortunately....

make your ex pay for it, since he took your son to have it put on.

I would be upset as well, especially if you are the custodial parent. You should have not only been consulted, but should have had the final say as well. Don't be too hard on your son when he returns home though. He's been manipulated by his father and is just as much a victim as you in a way. He is too young to understand how though. flowerforyou flowerforyou flowerforyou

Kind of what I was thinking when I went with "choosing your battles". It's not the worse thing that could happen and not something that leads to leads to worse. (((Shadow)))
