I agree that its a pretty immature way to handle the situation. I think that as long as the child is living in the parents’ house, living off of their money, he/she has to obey their rules. I know that some parents’ reasons ‘because I said so’ or ‘just because’ are technically not valid, but since you are still relying on them for everything then you still have to follow them (even if as a form of debt of gratitude of some sort). I’m not saying follow them blindly, in fact, I believe that kids should reason out to their parents and negotiate with them. But that’s the thing, you have to have a damn good reason and a strong argument to make them say yes.

you know I still think that parents want the best for their kids though sometimes kids cant see that and sometimes parents have a different way of doing it. :s

But just so you know, once you are independent, you can do what you want without their permission or consent. You can have all the tats you want and wont need to ask them if you can get them. Hell, you can add on dreadlocks, piercings, and all the she-bang. you only have to wait a few more years. I say, wait and put up with their rules. maybe you’ll outgrow your tattoo phase as well.

Wow. Right. Acting immature is the way to go here. Crying and stomping your foot is sure to get you your way. Why do you want your name on your body anyways? Cant you remember it? Can you imagine having your name on your shoulder in pink and blue when you’re 40 or 50? You may be able to set up a deal with your mother. Perfect grades or something similar in return for the tattoo. Odds are, she’s not going to say yes. Tattoos are permanent. And with your maturity level, you’re going to be one of those who regrets it. If you really want it, why not wait till you’re 18? That way you dont need her permission, and you’ll know for sure it is what you want. It’s going to be there for the names 50 or 60 years. Surely 2 years isnt that long to wait?

Answer #3

I’ve got tatts all up my arms and used to have them them on my hands untill I paid for laser surgery to have my hand ones removed…

I now wish id never had 1 done and the reason for that is becuase they look ugly..

I was younger than you when I had my 1st and if I could go back in time I wouldnt have had it…

dont ruin your body with crap.

I’ve got a mate and she had her brothers and sisters name on each side of her neck and I told her to her face that they look stupid and nasty horrid.. I mean seriously if I was having sex with her the last place I wanna kiss is a mans name..

dont do it!
