Would you let your 12 yr old child get a tattoo!!??  email this discussion to a friend?

kerryokequeen (21)   ranked 29 out of 486 in open minded 2 years ago

my ex husband has promised our daughter she can get a butterfly tattoo when she turns 12 next month! I think this is terribly wrong! My ex thinks this is perfectly fine because he has tattoos and says if she can handle the pain then she should get one.

I told my daughter how I feel but she has her heart set on this! I told my ex that I don't want to fight but he needs to respect my wishes, but he says she is his daughter too and feels ok about it. We are at a stand-still neither one of us will budget on the issue.

What do you all think?

I feel she is way too young and needs to wait until she is more mature before doing something like this to her body. Am I wrong???

OMG, For real!? The girl is still too young for a tattoo, and guys with tattoo projects or gives bad impressions to other people, especially that she is still turning 12. This might lead your daughter in to more serious problems, like alcohol and drugs if she just get easily permitted by your ex husband.

Not to mention the sexual side of a tattoo, she wants the tattoo on her lower back at the waist line so you can see it if she wears a short shirt. That to me is sendind a bad message.

The idea of a tattoo makes me shudder so does earpiercing so I'm probably the last person to ask! But tattoos are permanent aren't they? How about your daughter trying a transfer for a while, it'll give her an idea of what a tattoo feels like but can be removed. Maybe you, your ex and daughter can agree this temporary solution to see if your daughter REALLY likes a tattoo or is just copying her dad and giving you a hard time (result or what! devil).


kerryokequeen (21)   ranked 29 out of 486 in open minded  2 years ago

she has done the "Fake Tattoo" before, but I don't think the pain factor will be the same! She says she isn't worried about the pain.
I wish this was just a faze but she isn't letting it go.

im gonna be honest with you,im a tattoo artist/bodybuilder,the lower back is by far the most painfull spot and can cause nerve damage.Trust me i know from expierience.Also my shop or any other shop would not allow a minnor under 18 to get a tattoo.if you ask me,your ex is going to take her to a friend who knos how to give tattoos,hes also most likely not going to have sterile,disposable needles.If thats the case your daughter could get a serious dissease.NO SHOP WOULD ALLOW THIS EXCEPT FOR A NON PROFFESIONAL.

I wish I had your conviction, but if you've ever had a pre-teen daughter than you know how they can be!

that is far too young to get a tattoo because it is so invasive. plus as her body changes, it will change (because she is not full grown as of yet). i think it is a bad idea.


kerryokequeen (21)   ranked 29 out of 486 in open minded  2 years ago

I agree that it's a bad idea, but she says it's her body and if that's what she wants I can't stop her! I'm at my witts end because I can't get her father on my side.
ALSO her father's new girlfriend has many tattoos and encourages her...I feel out numbered.

Here in the UK, it is illegal to get a tattoo until you are 18 years old. I think 12 is far too young and also they are still growing, so the skin will grow and stretch and it will distort the picture of the tattoo. I have 2 tattoos, I had them done in my 20s. They age over time too, so they need to be touched up after a few years if the colours start to fade.

I have NO TATTOOs and think they look tacky on women, just my opinion, but in Canada you just need parents concent.

I got my first professional tattoo when I was 15 so of course I'm going to be on the husbands side. I had always wanted one, the only reason I bought cracker jacks was to get the temporary tattoos that came as prizes. I really don't think its that big of a deal. I gave myself one when I was 12, which looked like crap, and finally got it covered up when i was 18. If I would of been able to get one at 12 then i wouldn't have walked around with garbage on my arm for 6 years. My only worry would be her regretting the butterfly later. butterflies are so trendy and she may rebel against mainstream some day.

you just admited you made a BAD choice at the young age of 12...do you have a daughter bmodlin?

One, investigate if any artist that is reputable, will actually tattoo her. Another thing is, try and compromise, 16 is a more realistic age, honestly. Find some way to compromise, or create an avenue in which she has to earn it, study, prove she has done her research on it.

Are you wrong? no Not AT ALL.
I think he wants to annoy you and have your daughter on his side so that he can manipulate her and even you if you let him. I wouldn't allow my 12 year old daughter to get a tattoo. As my mother used to say your body is mine until you turn 18 in the meantime you do what I say.


kerryokequeen (21)   ranked 29 out of 486 in open minded  2 years ago

I agree, my ex and I have a very nice friendship, been apart over 3 years and we have shared custoity which works well for our daughter. we hardly ever disagree but he has a different opinion on this matter.

I would never allow a 12 year old to get a tattoo. Children are too young for the responsibilty of having a tattoo. When they are of legal age is when a tattoo should be comsidered.

It is impossible for me to let my child to get a tattoo, especially when the child is still so little. We don't have any tattoos. It may not be good, but here people tend to think that the one who has a tattoo is not a very good person. Sometimes the tattoo is a logo for the gangs. And if one day you feel regretful to have this tattoo, it is too difficult to remove it.

I love Chinathumbupthumbupthumbup
