Fervent Christian father is paying is 18 YO daughter $200 per month to refrain from getting any tattoos. I'm calling it the "no-tattoo incentive." There's got to be a better way to phrase it. (It's incest/satire.) Due to my rapidly shrinking brain, and the limited vocabulary that goes with it, I'm having a hard time thinking up alternatives.

That is much cooler than mine, but it's supposed to be coming from the uptight Christian's POV. It's what he would call the program, not what we would call it.

Ah. "The Prevention of Eternal Damnation in the Pit of Fire Pension."
No, I just kid.
That's what I had in mind - a Biblical reference.
Okay, I googled. Apparently there is a Corinthians verse about the body being a temple. I can use that in the dialogue, (she's already taken the Abstinence Pledge) but it would be nice to work in a phrase that reveals his inflated sense of importance and self-righteousnes when it comes to keeping his daughter pure, (even though he's squirting his seed all over her.)

The last which he shouldn't be doing anyway, since as a Biblically-inclined Christian, he'd surely be familiar with the story of Onan...

Leviticus Levy sounds good! Or how about No Graffiti on the Temple Fund.
In South Wales, tattoos on the bit of back showing at the top of trousers are called Slag Tags.

Onan was slain for practicing birth control (withdrawl). I hope the father's actions are safer sex than that.
ETA: Maybe "undefiled skin" or something like that.
In my story, the father does not practice withdrawal. He never even sticks it in. I mean, after all, it is his daughter.
