What's this tattoo mean?

Question

my son (14 yrs) got a tattoo across his back that says "Eighteen"

any ideas of what it could be.

we live in California if this matters.

Answer 1

If he is your son, why don't you just ask him

And why does he have a tatoo if he is 14?

Maybe its because you treat him like hes 18?

You shouldnt.. hes got 4 more years.

Answer 2

first of all WHY does your son at 14 years old even have a tattoo? THAT my friend, is the question you need to be asking.  

Answer 3

You might want to take him to the doctor and have him tested for diseases. No reputable shop would touch a 14 year old without parental permission. Once you find out where he got it I'd sue the place and get them shut down. It's probably one of those shops that give good shops a bad name

Answer 4

I can't be sure but I'd be worried about him having entered a gang.

Something to think about:

18th Street Gang

The 18th Street Gang originated in California. At that time the gang was exclusively Hispanic. In an effort to expand and gain turf, the gang began to accept all races. At first the gang was ridiculed by other Hispanic gangs, but that is no longer the case. The 18th Street Gang is quickly becoming a large threat in other western states. They can be found in Oregon, Washington, New Mexico and Navada.

Answer 5

It means he got laid by an 18 year old and proud.

Answer 6

How on earth did he get a tattoo at 14? Does he have a fake ID? I guess every state is different but I think 14 is a bit young! Have you asked him what it means?  I think you should ask him and if did it when you were not around and won't talk about it then you need to be sure to be around more and suprvising him.... One week is getting Tats, the next week it could be way worse...  

Answer 7

I'm sorry to have to tell you but you boy is probably in a gang.  I know a lot about this and the only reason anyone would tattoo "eighteen" on himself would be that he is part of a gang.  I would tell you to do some research into 18 street gang.  It is a very dangerous gang.  

www.gangsrus.com is a good website

Answer 8

hhhmm hope he doesnt regret that.  maybe it resembles freedom to him, when your 18 your considered an adult in most states. but im assuming your a laidback dad who lets him have his freedom since you signed a contract giving him permission to get a tattoo.  i really dont know, ask him.
