Why Minors Shouldn’t Get Tattoos.

Why Minors Shouldnt Get Tattoos & Body Piercings The more popular and mainstream tattoos and piercings be summate, the more teenagers want them. The problem is, its not sanctioned for minors to get tattoos in m either states. The other problem is, most parents dont go for the idea at all. This puts teens in a position where they feel they overhear to make a decision for themselves, and they go seeking someone to tattoo and/or pierce them without the consent of their parents. This is where things can go terribly wrong.The fact is, any tattoo or piercing artist (I use that term very loosely) who is willing to break the law and disregard the wishes of parents in order to tattoo or pierce a minor is already proving they open no concern for their client. How can you trust someone with your health and safety who is already a criminal? Do you really want to get a tattoo by some scum with a gun and some ink exclusively because he hell do it cheap and not tell your parents? If you dont wa nt to listen to me, listen to one of your own peers. Lucky Star is 17, and she felt compelled to share her twaddle and develop why she has decided to wait until she is of legal age to get a tattoo. Before I begin my tale of horror I have one thing to say. Wait til your 18, because itll be so much greater if you do. Thats going to be your right of passage. Trust me. Im going to be 17 in July and its killing me that Ill have to wait just one more year to get a tat. Ive been wanting tattoos since I was 10 no joke. And Ive already planned out the ones I want and where theyre going to be on my body.But I know when Im finally able to have a professional put that beautiful piece of artwork on my body that Ive craved for so long, the feeling will be so sweet. Ok decorous of that on to my scary story. At the beginning of June my friend met this guy at work who said he would tattoo us at his home because he was an apprentice and he had the tools to do so at his foretoken. I was so excite d and so was my friend. So that weekend while we were driving over to his house I started thinking about all the things that have been said about tattoo artists who are willing to tattoo minors.I became torn the should I or shouldnt I? began a battle in my head til we pulled into the guys driveway. My friend turned to me and said are you ready? and I was like No, Im not. Im not going to go done with this. Im just going to wait till Im 18. My friend then called me a baby and we went into the guys house. The house was disgusting and the bathroom was even worse, and thats where the dude tattooed a hibiscus flower on my friends pelvic bone. I sat on the couch and cried my eyes out because I judgement I blew my chance to get inked. Boy, was I wrong.After not seeing my friend for 6 days I went to her place to return some clothes I borrowed from her. As soon as I walked into the house she grabbed me and ran to the bathroom and showed me this disgusting blob that was once her hibiscus flower tattoo. It had become infected and patchy. She ended up having to go to the hospital because the infection got really bad and she didnt want to fess up to her mom that she had gotten a tat underage in some dudes bathroom. I had to explain to her mom at the hospital about what went down. My friend is doing much better now and weve both knowledgeable a good lesson.This hasnt scared either of us from getting tattoos. It just taught us to wait till were of legal age. Well, to all of you who are still reading I say thank you and hope that you learned something from my experience. Lucky Stars experience is just one of many where young people find themselves in a dangerous situation simply because they cant wait a few months or years to get tattooed or pierced legally. Is it really worth risking your life for? Is a piece of jewelry or a trope on your skin worth dying for? If you think it is, that is exactly why you are not mature enough to get it. Grow up and come back later.
