i was thinking about getting a little tattoo this weekend...but it would have to be somewhere that i could hide from my parents, yet be somewhat visible (with clothes on). any ideas?
how old are you, that you need to hide it from your parents? 99% of reputable tattoo parlours won't pierce or tattoo someone under 18 without parental consent (and they require ID) anywho, I have on on the small of my back. Shows when I sit sometimes though. Otherwise it's easily hidden
well i am underage but i do know the owner so no i wont be needing i.d. i thought about the small of the back, but ive just seen so many of them, and plus most of my shirts dont cover that region...
If your parents do see it I believe they can press charges against the guy who did it. It's common practice for tat places to have a copy of your I.D. so such things won't happen. I got my first tat at 15 at a place who didn't even ask to see my I.D (skuzzy place). I got it on my hip bone...not really visible with clothes on. Why must it be visible anyway? My mom never caught it but the guy did a shitty job with it so when I was 16 I showed my mom and she took me to a nice place to have it done over.
I'm sorry, but I'm rather of the opinion that there's a reason for being 18 to get a tattoo. I got mine done at 18. Piercings you can take out and they're practically invisible (tend to grow over, or at least aren't noticeable). What's so wrong with waiting a couple of years until you're legally allowed to get one? Why not talk with your parents about it and let them know why you want one - where you're getting it done - the aftercare (educate yourself ahead of time) - the cleanliness involved - RESEARCH everything you can about tattoo's and present it to them. That's what I did when I was 16 to get my nose pierced. Took me 3 months to convince my mom, but hey, it worked, and my parents didn't resent me or think of me as some irresponsible teenager because of it. Tattoo's are a lot more permanent and a lot more painful than piercings. I think they require A LOT more consideration than a piercing.
English translation from moronic gibberish: "Hip. Just WEAR long CLOTHES around your mom and dad or ANKLE." But what the fuck does that mean, I don't know. It seems to be something like the following three statements: - wear long clothes around your mom - wear long clothes around your dad - wear long clothes around your ankle The guy's a fuckin' burnout. Don't listen to a "word" he writes. (Don't worry, they won't look much like any words you would recognize, anyway.) Now, MY advice is, you should be working on improving your relationship with your parents before you go contriving ways to get a tattoo without them knowing. Unless your parents are such assholes that you plan on ditching them as soon as you legally can. But what kind of relationship do you have going with them if you plan to get a tattoo before they would let you do so, and then, what, years after you're out on your own, you'll LIE to them and say, "Oh, I haven't had that very long"?! I mean, is a small, hideable tattoo worth so much more than knowing you're not sneaking around behind your parents' backs, unable or unwilling to talk with them honestly about what's going on in your life? What's the big deal with waiting a little while before you get a tattoo? Are you in a big rush to show it off so you can get more respect from your peers? Is it that kind of a status thing? You're antsy to appear that much "cooler"? What's your reason for wanting the tattoo? If you were alone on an island with no one to see it but you, would you still want this tattoo? -Jeffrey
Hmmm... Why haven't you come to the same conclusion about tattoos in general? That's part of my reason not to get one. "Everyone's got one." -Jeffrey
what were you thinking of getting? im either getting jesus or a peace sighn on my peck cant decide which one tho.
If this tattoo artist is knowingly tattooing under aged kids - DO NOT get work from him. Real artist would never risk their business by tattooing kids. Real artists around town have waiting lists and they have no need to take business from minors. What you should do is call Jade Dragon on Belmont: http://jadedragontattoo.com/slow/index.html find out when George Papas is going to be in. Go to the shop and explain to him what you are looking for then set up an appointment on your 18th B-day.
nah if i did the whole jesus thing it would be the symbol of him on the cross with the "crown" nails the whole lot... it would cost a shit load more as well because of the detail compared with the peace sign... im confilicted on one hand the jesus thing means alot to me but so does the peace sign... essentially they are both about compassion...
im planning on getting nirvanas in utero angel inked on my forearm but im gonna wait till im about 20 to get it done
Exactly.... one if you have to ask what to get... Your gonna regret it most likely and two a good tattooist wont tattoo a minor.... Wait... Think about what you want... Dont rush into it... Its gonna be on your body forever so whats the rush. You got what 50-60 years with it.. Wait till your 18 to get it.
well i guess no one really read my post. i was asking ideas on WHERE TO PUT ONE... and i dont think any of you here know my motives for wanting one, i thought it was kind of rude for you to assume i want to "show it off to my friends" and no this is a sudden thing i woke up and decided i wanted to do. sorry to be rude but i was just asking for advice on a place to get one, not what you thought of my decision. <3
