If my son or daughter wanted a tattoo I would tell them to think long and hard about it. It's permanent. Tell them to think about how they'll explain it to their kids and grandkids.
If they decide they still want one, tell them to think about the location and how it might affect their chances of landing a career job in the future.
If they suddenly came home with a tattoo without getting my opinion? It's their body and they can do what they want. I just pray that I've been raising them well enough in the hopes they don't get something stupid tattooed for all the world to see and no hopes of covering up.

Chances are if she comes home with a tramp stamp you've already failed as a parent so cutting her off won't do any good.

She's had the tramp stamp since she was 15. You could done something but you chose not to.

I'm fully sleeved and I would encourage my girls to wait until they are 30. Not because of tattooing in general...just due to the personal changes you go through in young adulthood. What you appreciate at 19 changes drastically by 29....

Cosmetic mutilation. My son has them

Can't remember those good ones without ink under your skin?
Posted on 12/26/16 at 3:08 pm to LSUTANGERINE
I would be OK with this one...

I have several (3/4 arm, chest, back), so I'd tell them they have to wait until they're 18 and use their own money.
I would however advise them to wait until they are more mature (25+) to decide what they want. What you think is cool at 18 is probably something you will hate later in life. I didn't get mine until I was 27.

So true! The same is true for 39, 49, 59, etc. so why make the mistake of getting a permanent reminder of an event that won't mean much in a decade? Also, it's not good for your mental health to get something that will be a constant reminder of a tragic event like the death of a close friend or relative.
So many dumb reasons for getting a tattoo and you're showing how emotionally weak and easily swayed by trends you are when you get one. People who get extensive work like sleeves done would be better off spending their money on therapy to understand what is driving the need for attention or self-satisfaction.
If my kids want one, I would point out the hundreds of other ways to get recognition or a feeling of accomplishment. Want to remember a big event? Take a photo or write about it in your diary.

I would tell them that they were trashy and a loser.

so basically you should tell people how they should spend their own money. and got forbid someone does something for self-satisfaction! the nerve of these people!

People are free to spend their money how they please but I'd like them to consider another course of action that will really help them in the long run. How does getting a sleeve give any satisfaction? You didn't do the tattooing and the "artist" has seen/done very similar artwork 100's of times so it's not like you came up with something original.
Honest question - how do you get satisfaction from a sleeve and how is the satisfaction any different than what you'd feel if you commissioned an artist to do an oil painting on canvas? How many people hang a poster or painting in a house at 29 and still have it on the wall 10 or 15 years later? Very few.

What a weird thing to waste so much of your energy on, what's really going on with you?
My sister is a medical doctor and heavily tattooed, as in getting close to running out of real estate. You would have a very hard time convincing anyone she's damaged in any kind of way.
To be perfectly honest, you sound like a fricking dolt.

I'm not reading this whole thread but I'm sure it has quickly devolved into a bunch judgmental pricks who think they know what's best for other people.
Posted on 12/26/16 at 4:05 pm to BobABooey
Wait...did you just tell me I need therapy after you agreed with me? Based on tattoos you assume to understand the mental health of an individual? You need to get out more and broaden your horizons....seriously. Devote all that judgmental energy to a more positive outlet. Perhaps therapy might help?

it doesnt have to make sense to you or me. if the person getting tattooed is satisfied thats all that matters.

What are the pros of a tattoo?
People won't have to question your intelligence....the lack thereof will be obvious!
