Not only is that stupid, it's illegal What is the mother thinking?! The trouble heavily tattooed adults (or those with very visible tattoos) have getting and holding jobs is enough, imagine the trouble a tattooed teenager would have...

I knew I wanted at least one tattoo when I was 12, but didn't get my first until I was 22. If I'd gone with every idea that went through my head in that time, I would have so many baaaaaad tattoos by now
Yep, take the apprentice at DHs work. He's legally old enough to get a tattoo, but the way he goes about it is ridiculous. A friend of his has a tattoo gun, and so every time this group of mates gets drunk they each get a new stupid tattoo. There's a reason there are age and time limits.

Butterfly Dawn, I also agree that it's not right to tell your 15 year old that they need full arm tatts to look cool.
