14 years old getting a tattoo?

Question

kay so im 14 year old female my parents said i can get a small tattoo and it legal where i live. but i was wondering if i should wait till i stop growing or get one now and i can touch it up when im older

Answer 1

I know its exciting to do adult things when your young.  But I think you should wait.  Both of those spots are going to do some serious growing, and will probably take covering with a different tattoo to fix, instead of touching up.  Also its better to draw from life experiences when getting a tattoo. and at 14 most people don't have an even or something that means something REALLY special to them to base a tattoo on.  Also Religions, views, and beliefs all change as you age.  Wait till you are older and fully grown, and more concrete in who you are as a person.  That way when you finally get a tattoo it is something that means a lot to you, and you are able to explain how special it is to people.

I hope I helped!

Answer 2

Sounds like you are second guessing yourself..Just wait,it's no rush...

Answer 3

Your parents are idiots.

Answer 4

It's your choice I think your parents are testing you seeing how mature you are so I'd say don't do it so you seem like a more mature young women.

Answer 5

I hate to say this but I would really worry about getting a tattoo from a shop that would knowingly tattoo a 14 year old.  

Answer 6

I know people that got tattoos (really bad ones) when they were young and regret them big time now. What you think is cool now won't be in 10/20 years or even a years time. DON'T DO IT

Answer 7

your way to young. wait until your older.

Answer 8

your parents are dumb...you should wait  

Answer 9

I don't think you should be getting a tattoo.

Also, when you grow up, it's going to be all wrinkly (if you think about it in that way)

Answer 10

you should wait or you might regret it later..its PERMANANET

Answer 11

you should defiantly wait until you stop growing, if you grow a little bit the tattoo won't change a lot, but if you grow lots the tattoo could be destroyed! then you'll really regret it!

i got mine at 16, and i believe that if your genuinely,mentally mature enough to decide on a tattoo at a young age they you should get one!

it's your life after all, people say you'll regret it in a few years, well ok it's your mistake to regret! they're things your going to have to consider now!

good luck! x

Answer 12

If I was you, I would definitely wait. You may THINK you want one now, but what about 2 years from now? I know when I was 14 I definitely thought about about getting a lot of things that you couldn't pay me to get now.

Your mind changes as much, if not more, than your body does.

Think about it.

Answer 13

Most of these people are going to call you an idiot for even considering this.

I strongly recommend waiting, but I'm not going to tell you not to do it, just to think long and hard about it, and make sure you can hide it.

Answer 14

Yeah, I think you should wait until you are older.  Maybe when your 18.
