My daughter's going to get a tattoo...

[seeker]

.......and I hate them soooooooo much! I know she's 17, and it's her money and her body and her choice, but I hate that she's going to do something so permanent so young.

I'd suggest she wait til 18 as she will be able to get it done at one of the better places, that will demand to see her ID. She could always start on the design now. Having said that, my (resourceful) 16yo has 2 stunning tattoos, one on her ribs & one on her forearm. Both are beautifully done, non generic and rather lovely.

refuse seeker you will only resent giving her permission honestly I did with mine and she didnt get it when she was 18 , If your dd really wants 1 she will wait, I said to mine I wasn't going to be responsible and give permisison for her to do something she might regret, I am not against tattoos but as i said I couldnt have said it was ok when i wasn't ok with it

My dd got one done when she au paired in Spain.. 3 little music notes on the side of her belly, near her hip. Its actually quite nice, despite my initial reluctance
