Did you know it’s legal for a child to have a tattoo done in Arizona?

Provided the parents give their consent and the child is happy about it. I didn’t and I think it’s awful

This post is about a 9 year old child who has the American flag tattooed on her upper arm. Originally she wanted Donald trump tattooed on her neck but the tattooist managed to talk her out of it and said if she still wanted it in a year, come back (she didn’t)

I can’t begin to understand the mentality of a parent who’d do this to their child. But then they are Trump supporters.
You have to look upon a tattoo as being for life, not just for Christmas.

There was lots of things I wanted to do at nine years old.
My parents probably saved me from myself as parents should.

That’s what I can’t understand. Piercing a child is bad enough. Least they can be removed and the scarring is usually not visible but tattoos are harder to erase. And with the child still growing, it will be become very faded and distorted quickly
