I think that based on all the comments I'm getting I have an idea how to proceed. I do need to ask where, what and why. I've also decided to ask him to wait until he graduates high school, and to let me go with him to check out parlors.
The risk of infection is a big one. Personal hygene has been a battle with this kid. Example, his mother calls me one day and complains that he has an awful foot odor, therefore he must have an infection or other illness. So I call my doc, and my doc tells me to ask some basic hygene questions.
Turns out he changes his socks like once a month.
Same with acne. He complains about acne, we go to the skin doc, she says buy these three things and wash your face with them every night. He won't do it, and his mother won't make him, so he looks like shit.
I'm pretty sure he won't follow instructions about after tatoo care, which is a problem in and of itself. If he lived with me, I could force the issue, but he doesn't.
