is anyone actually listening this is really important
alot of shops will allow you to get tattooed if you are under 18 as long as you are accompanied by a legal guardian who has proof of this..As far as a good artist in your area i'll leave that up to the guys with more knowledge than I.
and why does it have to be in such a rush. In my short time as a tattoo artist I have noticed people who rush such as how you are doing now tend to be very dissappointed in the long run. yeah you will be stoked when you first get it done considering how young you are and it would be so cool to not be 18 but still have a tattoo, but think think think about what you get and WHY you are getting it. It's not an earing that you could just take out if you dont like it. But I will not lecture it's ultimately up to you and if your mother is all for it than so am I but just take into consideration that tattoos in a hurry usually only make you happy for he first few months or maybe a year but after that its regret regret regret.Hope I helped. but if you can wait a bit at least take a week or two to think about what you want and also to case out a few shops in your area and check their work. Is it good art work? Are they clean and sterile? Do they answer all of your questions without attitude? All important factors you should consider before rushing into a commitment like this. I know at 16 your probably just reading blah blah blah blah but I wouldnt be true to myself or my bretheren if i didnt give you this type of truthful advice.. ..........Legacy
Legacy YOU are WRONG!!! There are not a LOT of shops that tattoo with parents sig...in fact there are very few!!...And if they do I would NOT recommend them... to Nicole...read past posts about tyhis subject...yopu may just change your mind!!!! Wait til 18 girl!!!...Do your research!!...TAz
sorry for the misinformation......doh.......I'll be more careful when wording next time. I should have said there are a few.That I have seen anyway. Thanx for the correction Taz. But I agree you should wait it's not something you should rush into.
