Im only 13, but I realllyyy want a tatttoo. Just a simple heart or starr.
But my parens are complaining and stufff. Like omgg.
Why shudnt I get onee?
And why shud I get onee?
Most shops have policies that make it hard to tattoo even a 15 year old, so no respectable tattoo artist or reputable shop will ever tattoo a 13 year old. Even if your parents didn't complain and said it was okay, you wouldn't be able to get one. Most people who get tattoos have an idea in their head for a long time before actually getting it done, but the ones who don't sometimes end up regretting their tattoos later on.
Tattoos also cost a lot of money, even really simple things like hearts and stars. I doubt you have $50 to spare, and doubt even more that your parents would lend you the money.
They also require specific care and can be uncomfortable while healing. They become itchy and sometimes sore, all the while peeling. You have to keep it out of direct sunlight to keep the ink vibrant by either covering it up or wearing clothing over it. And you always have a risk of infection with tattoos because it's technically a wound with ink in it.
This doesn't mean though that tattoos are bad and you should never get one. Tattoos can be great works of art and hold a lot of personal meaning to the people that wear them; it would just be best at this point if you waited like your parents want and got one when you're older.
omg im in the same situation!!!
lol!!! im 13 and I dont want anything big. whats the big deal?
you can look up Henna and Jagua tattoos. theyre like plant juices or something you paint on your skin (no pain) and they stain the skin for six weeks. voila, temperary tattoos.
theyre not dangerousss. but you have to buy the kit and paint them right or theyll look funny. (my parents wont let me get these either. theyre sooo laaame. :)
but yahh.
Ahaha , alright I'm 14 still havn't gone to get my tatoo. Where I live you need to be 14/15/16 to get one done , WITH YOUR PARENTS CONSENT ! I think 13 is to young , I thin k14 is still pretty young , Wait tell your at least 16 , belive me . You might think you want it know but think what if you don't want it later on, Your body is still growing soo it may streach out the tatoo and a bunch of stuff .
hahahah easy reason why you shuldnt or rather cnt get it
just wait til your 17 it will give you time 2 tink up knew tatt ideas that will b bttr den what you gots now and hopefully have meanin
don't do somethin you'll regret in the future if you want a tattoo wait till your old enough to actually get one that means something to you not something stupid like a heart or a star
for one thing your only what? how old? 13 umm nooo for reason two I had to wait untill my 18th b-day to get a tattoo... for reason 3 I beleive you have to be 18 to get a tattoo.
