I think martian is on the right track here. Now granted, I'm not a parent and if I were god help the world. Anyway, I think the important factor in all this is why does he want the tattoo? Tattoos are not evil or bad, but they can become nuisances later on in life. It's important for him to get something that he will be proud of later on in life. Getting the symbol of his favorite band is pretty silly.
Don't just dismiss his idea or want to get a tattoo or he'll just do it anyway. I know when I was younger and I had an itch to do something.. and my dad said no- I'd do it anyway. If he had sit down with me and had a talk about risks/factors I may not have done alot of things.
