Maybe I should get pierced again...

I'm 28, though... I'm still young enough to rock, right?

Mick Jagger and the boys are still rocking... and I think THEY all just passed the century mark :P

Do whatever you feel you need to do. Remember though, it's not just you anymore. You have a son.
Kids add a whole other level. You are no longer first, they are. Trust me - I have two!
Any of the three career paths you listed; law enforcement, teacher or business world - probably not a good idea to pierce yourself. And remember too, the rock and roll lifestyle has a way of aging you pretty quick. A lot like a pro athlete. 28 is "old age", with a few exceptions.

Very true. I agree that I am no longer first, though what kid wouldn't want his dad to be a rock star... haha. Actually, I know direction wouldn't work out because I wouldn't be able to handle being away from him for that long. I left the last serious band I was in right before they headed off on their first major tour... and for the past 7 years or so they've pretty much been touring all around the world playing upwards of 300 shows a year. I wouldn't be looking for that extreme of a rock and roll lifestyle...
So, finding some compromise might be the best route. There are plenty of guys who hold down respectable day jobs while rocking out at night in local groups and such. A discreet tattoo I can cover up might be a good idea... unlike the guys in my old band with virtually every inch of their body tatted... haha.
I can tell that I might be able to have a confident stage presence with my new sly look, too. That's a big thing that's brought it all up. I miss performing in high energy concerts... getting into the music and feeling the energy of the crowds.

I think you may be on the right track with a nice discreet tattoo.
There are lots of "mainstream" guys that rock out on the weekends. Go for it.
