Reputable places will not do this until 18. That’s from experience with our child seeking one.

I'd tell her id appreciate her maturity in coming to me and dad first but wait to her 18th birthday and if she still wants it then you'll make it her birthday gift.

No. My husband got a very meaningful, small tattoo - DOB of dead father - and regrets it. I know other people that regret them as well.

The kid should wait as long as possible before getting.

No.

Tattoos shouldn't be legal.

How long a line of prose? How many square inches would that thing be? Ugh.

Neither OP nor OP’s daughter is old enough to know text tattoos age terribly. Any kind of fine work is going to look smushed and blurry, possibly before the daughter is legally old enough to get it.

Sure, but only a large facial tattoo so there is no mystery about her maturity level and class level.

Tattoos are the height of filth.

No! And I would try to persuade her that tattoos are ugly.
