To give a lawyer's answer...It depends. It depends on a large number of factors, the jurisdiction the court which has authority of the case, and the particulars of the "on again, off again" partent. In any event, it will require you to hire a lawyer and he will have to go to court and argue that the other parent is an unfit parent. One thing you must realize is that even though the law is gender neutral, most courts strongly favor the mother. * Only the court has the power to award or rescind custody. The court of jurisdiction in custodial cases is the one that issued the original order. The exception being if there is substantiated and indisputable evidence as defined by existing state law that the presiding judge 'grievously erred" when he or she rendered the decision. A major factor in all custodial cases is the parenting plan that each parent is required to submit to the court, rather than the attempt to prove the other parent to be unfit. It is difficult to ascertain what the term "off and on again" means, when it pertains to a parent who has been awarded full custody. Full custody indicates that the named parent has the children in their care, or in the in the care of a qualified adult/caregiver, except for required visitation by the non custodial parent. Full custodial rights further dictate that said parent has the legal power to make all decisions concerning the welfare of the child or children (education, medical issues, etc.) Be that as it may, no person (including an attorney) can guarantee the outcome of a custodial case (or any case for that matter).

Non custodial parent does not mean the parent has no custody. One parent has primary custodial and the other parent has secondary custodial. Unless you have sole custody of the child you should also have a shared parenting agreement. Neither parent should do anything without notifying the other party, except for emergencies. If there is no agreement in place, get one. Both parents should be involved in the parenting decision of the chid. Remember, you both brought this child into the world. It doesn't happen alone.
Yes. If the custodial parent is breaking the court orders the judge can give custody to the non custodial parent if he/she is fit.
The non-custodial parent can file for custody.

It depends on what kind of custody arrangements you have. If you have joint legal custody, you both have to decide together what is best for the children. If you do not want the child to have a tattoo, the non-custodial parent should not allow the child to have it done and you can file contempt charges if they do.

If you have joint custody, there is one parent that is the custodial parent. A child can move in with you if you are the custodial parent or you can file in court to change your status to the custodial parent. The child should want to live with you as well.
They need to file for custody
