Just what Merc says - point out that being involved in her expressing herself at this age is a really positive thing. She's less likely to come home with a rebellious facial piercing ot tattoo and an "It's too late now, I've already done it" attitude in a couple of years time.
Disclaimer - I have no problems with facial piercings or tattoos, but it's a shame when they're used as weapons.
Would your daughter be content with a spray in colour? They only last from wash to wash and she can use as much or as she wants on a day to day basis. As a compromise I mean - it would be a shame for her Dad, who is equally her parent, to be completely disregarded. Even though I think he's wrong about this.
