    I'm interested in going to get another tattoo , I would go back to the guy I got mine off but I herd he was using dirty needles so well , **** that. Looking for a good artist that does 16 with a parental consent forum.
    Preferably Leinster , please only quality tattoo shops.

    Wait the 2 years and get it done somewhere reputable. Nowhere decent will tattoo under 18's.

    Going to a tattoo shop that will tattoo 16 year old's is dangerous, you're very lucky you didn't catch something if they actually were using dirty needles.Wait the 2 years and go somewhere trustworthy.

    what all the above peeps say. it doesn't surprise me to hear that the lad who did your tat was using dirty needles, if he was tattooing under 18s, obviously has no scruples. it won't kill ya to wait the two years to be able to go to someone reputable, but it might kill ya if you don't

    Is it true nowhere decent will do 16 year olds with parental consent?

    My daughter wants a tattoo and as it is something very meaningful, significant and specific to her - I am willing to consent to it.

    Nowhere that's any good will do it, with or without parental consent. She should wait the two years to be 100% sure of what she wants, and be able to get it done by a quality artist.
    What's two years waiting to get it done right when she'll be living with it for the rest of her life?

    I completely agree. I wanted a very meaningful tattoo when I was sixteen, but thankfully, didn't get it.
    I changed my mind a million times and got a completely different tattoo about 8 years after I first decided I HAD to have one.
    Your daughter is still growing. Please wait.
