They are forever. I don't care what anyone says: removal isn't a guarantee and once the ink is there, it's there. (I have two myself, one very large, and got both in my 20's, so I swear I'm not just up on my soapbox, being mouthy!! I do have experience with tattoos.)<br /><br />Even worse, what happens if the artist uses crappy ink or absolute worst-case scenario, the needle should be dirty? That child could be scarred for life before they are even old enough to vote. These are scary enough ramifications for an adult to face, but a child? I just don't think it's fair or appropriate. Kids have their entire adult lives ahead of them to make such decisions. Give them a decision they can handle and afford to screw up, something like: which will it be, Pepsi or Coke.Ryanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06535463704571035144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1335680391050121939.post-55962954670094530422009-06-24T19:27:02.197-04:002009-06-24T19:27:02.197-04:0012!?

Pierced ears -one set of piercings at that -is my limit! Thankfully, neither of my daughters has or wants a tattoo, neither has more than one set of ear piercings too. My son though does have a tattoo and a ring in his nipple as well. What he was thinking of when he had that done, besides how soon he'd be able to go have another beer, is beyond me. The step-granddaughter who is 17 is sporting a tiny piercing by her nose -which I hate -and which her mother allowed her to get while she was living with her bio-Mom who is a total moran and nut-case! Kids don't realize the impact these things might have for them in later life -job hunting and such -and for that matter, a lot of adults don't seem to realize that either. For myself though, as much as I hate needles unless it is an absolute necessity, no fears of me ever getting a tat, piercing, whatever!Jenihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16425701332785470116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1335680391050121939.post-48320559572467305352009-06-22T16:24:38.433-04:002009-06-22T16:24:38.433-04:00Really?!?!

Even at 18 I would be apprehensive. I have a tattoo I got at 19 and hate it!! Getting a tattoo is permanent. Even if you pay for laser surgery you can still see the scar of the tattoo.

One who's not on crack, to begin with. I won't even let a 12 year old babysit my kids - why would they be competent to make a permanent decision like whether to get a tattoo?. 15? Still too young, especially for large tattoos in places that aren't covered by normal clothing. Maybe I could see if the kid was really mature for their age, had wanted a tattoo since age 5, and the tattoo was very small and well hidden. I know even at 18, I was still a total moron who made dumb, rash decisions. Maybe they should base it on the kid's responsibility level, like if they work full time or something then they are old enough?Noellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10736409667369652381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1335680391050121939.post-67303902806093862002009-06-20T19:23:15.753-04:002009-06-20T19:23:15.753-04:00Oh!! dmarks is funny!
