Are you F**cking kidding me!!!!!!! It is a tasteful one I guess. on the inside of her wrist, chinese symbols that means 'chance' her 4 yo brothers name. she has been wearing braclets, you know the kind KIDS wear, friendship braclets, woven ones. Anyways, what kind of mother takes her 15 year old daughter to get a tatoo on her wrist, a most obvious place, that will be with her the rest of her life! I am beside myself. without words. So back to my original idea before she came down for a goodnight, I am SO HAPPY that I am the person to help raise this child, and she is not in the full time custody of this crazy woman who allows 15yo tatoos, what else is ok? sex, sure, drugs, why not... I do. Why not have a martini, its more effective than a beer!!! are you F**ckin shitting me!!!

lately. It's insane!! I have four tattoos myself, my husband has four and is about to get his fifth - but GEEZ - a 15-year-old??? I waited many, many years before making that decision for myself, and the ones that I do have can all be hidden if necessary. There's no way I would let one of my kids get one. At the very least, wait until you are 18 and use some common sense about where to put it.

Every time I have gotten a tattoo, there is usually some mother in there with her daughters letting them get pierced and/or tattooed. No way!!! Huh-uh!!!

Yes 15 is a bit young to get a tattoo however, my mother let my 15 (now 16) yo sister get a tattoo when i was visiting last year. My mother was completely against it but I am the one that talked her into it. It is one of those things that you have to remember either when you were a teenager or you have to take off the adult glasses for a bit and try to think like a teenager is today. Either way my sister was going to get it done so I had to tell my mother it is safer that she took her somewhere to a professional with sterile stuff and had it done instead of my sister going to some person she didn't know and running the risk of diseases and infection.

I know some are going to think that I am full of it and must have done the same things as a teenager, NOPE! My first piercing was at 21 and first tattoo was for my 27th birthday. It's just teenagers today pull stuff we would never have even attempted for fear of being turned into a bruise. It is starting to turn into what is the safer way for these kids, cause most of the time you say no they are going to find an unsafe way to do it anyways.

and I would never think of getting a tattoo. They are not safe and look bad when looking for a job. I was recently a teenager and even if I had wanted one I wouldn't have gotten one. There is no responsible person that would give a 15 year old a tattoo anywhere on her body without an adult signing for it.
I would never let my daughter get a tattoo, when she is old enough to sign for herself, she can make that decision for herself, but parents should not allow children to do things like that.

Is that because some people allow their children to get tattoos or such before the age of 18 that they are not responsible people? Again I would prefer my child/sister or anyone not to go to someone not professional and run the risk of getting aids.

So what my sister was 15 when she got hers, behind her ear very small and hair covers it as well as her ear itself. She is a straight A student in all honors classes, in her high schools marching band where she made section lead and officer this year. I am still failing to see how that is irresponsible to let her have a tattoo? I personally think it is irresponsible to not weight the pros and cons of either decision. Just to flat say no runs the risk of them getting hurt. I can understand if it was something illegal, but getting a tattoo is not illegal, everyone has their opinions and no parent and child do not share the same opinions on topics such as these. I still think its better to agree to some requests where you know you have a better shot at having it done safely instead of them rebelling and getting hurt or sick or stuck with a disease that could kill them.

I can see your point mystiery. I also don't think getting a small tasteful tattoo that represents her brother is an automatic stepping stone to sex and drugs. As far as getting a job, in my experience, tattoos are becoming more socially acceptable than they used to be. What used to be a trend is actually pretty mainstream.

Chai, becoming more socially acceptable. And I actually took perfectson17 to get a tattoo earlier this year, while still 16. HOWEVER, my son's best friend was killed at the beginning of the year and he got this tattoo in memory of his friend. Very tasteful, on his shoulder blade to be hidden easily. I very much doubt this tattoo is going to make him want to do drugs, however it is going to serve as a permanent memory of his best friend.
