ANN LAN DERS Girl obsessed With tattoos Dear Ann Landers If misery loves company please tell that father who signed his letter et APlenty to move over He was concerned about co legeage daughter who came home with small heart tattooed on her thig At age four our daughter became fascinated with tattoos We think it started when we took her to circus No one in our family and none of our friends had tattoos When Becky was seven she began to beg for permission to get her initials tattooed on her arm We refused so she tattooed herself with sewing needle and India ink She ke the ugly design cross with three rays freshened up an we had to look at it for car Fina ly at the suggestion of psychologist we took her to hjuana and had butterfly tattooed on her wrist so she would give up the other thing Itis illegal in California to tattoo anyone under 18 The fol owing year Becky threatened to do another job on herself so we consulted the psychologist again and he said Back to Tijuana That trip she had fancy rose tatooed on her hip Two years later when she begged for peacock tattoo on her right shoulder we realized she had serious problem We agreed to the peacock provided she would accept psychiatric treatment After six months of intensive therapy the psychiatrist said Becky suffers from an obsessivecompulsive desire to be tattooed and she will not give it up because she doesnt want to He predicts she will continue to get herself decorated indefinitely Now my wife and are going to psychiatrists trying to ï¬gure out why we produced such screwedup kid In Calif Dear Dont spend too many
