WhitneyConvince Your Parents to Let You Get a Tattoo
May 28th 2009 18:11
If you're an under-aged teenager and you really want a tattoo- no matter what the reason is- but your parents keep saying 'NO.' You'll want to be adult about the entire situation. The more you beg, plead, and whine, the more they will continue to say 'no.'
* Do your research.
* Plan ahead.
* Weigh your pros and cons.
* Have a design picked out.
* Have money.
* Know the risks.
* Find the best and most reputable tattoo shop in your area.
The more that you know about tattoos, the better off you will be, but remember that you want to choose your battles wisely, and getting a tattoo under-aged is not a battle that is necessary to fight.
You'll get over having to wait another year or two until you can get the tattoo without parent permission, and you'll be better off. There are too many horror stories about teenagers getting tattooed behind their parents' back and end up with infections.
How far will you go to fit in or to be different? Will you risk your health?
Although, that may sound silly and over the top, but it's true, and it's a real risk that you'll have to take.
Getting a tattoo is a big decision that you can make, it can be life changing as it is a life-long result. It can take some adults literally, YEARS to decide whether they want a tattoo, what they want, and where, so at 15, 16, or or 17 years old, you really don't know what you want for the rest of your life.
If your parents still refuse to let you get a tattoo, you'll appreciate it more when you're a little older and you can get it on your own without your parent's consent. It will also give you more time to decide what you really want tattooed on your body for the rest of your life. Just let it go.
