    ive wanted to get a tatoo for a long time now but my mom and dad wont let me. I have some ideas that wouldnt be to showy but still make a statement and it makes me feel like i want to do it anyway. i am not usually a rebelious person but i feel like i have to go get a tatoo but i have no way to

    ..And what are you trying to ask us?

    Beside the point, i gave myself 2 tattoos when i was 13 and i still don't regret them. Otherwise, if your parents don't want you to get a tattoo then there's virtually no way you can. You won't be allowed to go to any parlor and get it done right and sanitary, but if that doesn't amtter to you i guess you can do it yourself like i did. Again though, if your parents dont want you to im sure they have some reasoning behind it. Only get a tattoo if it represents something you'll be able to agree with your whole life. If what you want is only cool looking, or a display, don't get it.

    hope this helps?

    You can meet people who do it outside of shops, that's how my friends did it. Getting in shit with your parents is your own deal though.

    You could try henna until you are old enough.

    Just wait. It's really, really not a big deal.

    ...Why do you feel like you have to get a tattoo?

    at the end of the day it's up to you, but i waited until i was 18 to get a tattoo and i'm glad i did.... all the ideas i had at age 13 i'd be mortified to have inked into my skin these days

    also, you'd wanna be careful because anyone willing to tattoo a minor is probably a bit dodgy, and you might end up with something badly done, or a disease from a dirty needle. make sure they use an autoclave and that you've seen some of their other work before you jump in just because they're the only person who's willing to do it for you

    good luck either way :)

    that sounds like the best idea i've heard so far. Plus, henna tats are the shit. I love them to death.

    Seriously dude, just wait till you're eighteen. A tattoo is just some ink, and there are plenty of ways to make a statement that will stand out far more clearly. Just save your money and keep tweaking your ideas - there's decent odds that when you're twenty, you'll think the idea you had now was terrible.

    And they're very addicting, so you may as well just wait till you can have it done safely in a shop whenever you like.

    So true. At least for me, anyway-and most of my family and friends that have tats.
