I think it is just like any other new commandment the prophet give. Remind the children that the prophet told us not to tattoo / body piercings/ multiple earrings just 16 years ago. Many who have tattoos already had them when the prophet gave this counsel. Once the prophet commanded that we keep our body clean by refraining from these things, members (in general) obeyed and stopped. It could actually be an opportunity to reinforce what we have taught all year about hearing the prophet's voice and being true! As far as the children thinking that people with tattoos are bad-I suppose it depends what they have heard at home, but generally children don't judge and assign labels as easily as we silly adults do. They see me teaching with the spirit, leading, and sharing my testimony every week, tattoos and all. They also know I served a mission and was married in the temple. I don't think any of them would call me a 'bad' person. Bottom line: tell them, When we know better, we do better, When the prophet speaks, we simple obey.

What if you were to talk to one of the parents who has a tattoo to see how they handle that same question within their home family. They may have an excellent answer to your question.

Subject: [primusic] The Lord gave me a temple
I'm wondering how you handle the message of putting tatoos on our bodies when some of our primary childrens parents have tatoos.....that they obviously got prior to joining the church. I don't want to give the impression that people with tatoos are bad, but I think it's an important thing to bring up in regards to keeping our body clean like a temple. Any thoughts out there?
