[quote=Anonymous]I got my first tattoo at 18 and I don't regret it but knowing what I know now, I should have waited and saved more money for it and gone to a better artist and not the "guy who did my friend's ink." I ended up adding to it later on instead. I think the tricky bit is that the mom pulled her kid out of school for it. If the mom knew her kid was going to get a tattoo regardless of whether she gave permission then maybe she took her to a reputable place instead of having some random person do the tattoo in a basement with a machine bought off ebay (this is how my friends were doing it before we all turned 18, presumably kids have access to the same stuff we did when we were kids).

If it were my kid, I'd explain my tattoos and tell him/her the pros and cons. I'd also tell them that I hoped they respected their body enough to be careful what they did with it, in the same way they could get piercings or use drugs or alcohol. Hopefully OP's daughter will listen to mom's wishes and at least wait until she is 18 to do it safely.[/quote]
