lip tattoo ideas...

[Ginevive]

My husband tattoos. He said that sometimes, inner lip tattoos last for a very long time; other times, they go away.
I can't believe that they'll let him get tattooed at 15! I know that in NY and CA, the minimum age is 18.
But hey. If he is mature and feels ready to get it.. I am not against it if you go to a legit shop and everything is done cleanly!

I can't give an idea though, without knowing him. Should be something that is just "him."

Im not sure about other states, but i think most places in ohio wont tattoo anyone under 16, even with parental consent.... You have to be 18 to get piercings or tattoos with out parental consent...
Theres actually for some odd reason a ton of kids in my school with tattoos. and its a suburban school... I would bet that theres more girls then guys with tattoos.... By alot... Its weird...

I see a surprising amount of kids with tats at my daughter's high school. Most of them not exactly small, dainty or discreet, either. And this is a pretty small rural town.

Aleesha is in Canada...I don't know if they have different sorts of rules for allowing tats on minors. If they're seriously considering it, though, then I imagine parental consent is plenty.

Yeah... There used to be a girl with a tattoo on the back of her neck, now theres a "good girl" who has a tattoo on her wrist! and another like on her ankle... But its like a quiet good grade student. lol. Theres this one girl whos probably like 15-16 with tons of tattoos. like all on her arms and everything. Punk Rock "Stars" on her for arms and small stars on her hand i think...

Im not allowed to get a tattoo untill im 18... lol. (soon enough 8 months about)

I have four tattoos, and pretty much everyone I know has at least one, and a good chunk of my friends have several. Tattoos are very popular for people to get, regardles of reputation or status. You dont have to be a metalhead or a badass to get a tattoo anymore, they are quite common so people dont think the same way about them as they used to.

Wow; my husband and I are living in the wrong state! lol!

I got as far as "of course he thinks its cool... he's 15" and I had to just move to the end to say that you remind me so much of my friends from Alberta. And that is a good thing (no not all people from Alberta, just a nice little alcove that I acquired over the years of being there).

Did not read the suggestions but how about "Need a mirror?" and have it reversed such that it would be read perfectly in a mirror.

Im out of highschool now but my 17 year old brother has a 16 year old friend from overseas that moved here and he has both arms completly tattooed. Sleeves all the way up and a chest piece covering his entire upper part of his body and a huge flower in the center of his neck

You can get a tattoo younger than 18 if a parent is present. My cousin got a pretty large forearm tattoo the day he turned 17. But if I'm remembering correctly, even with a parent, you have to be at least 16.

hey everyone... for some reason i didn't get any notifications of this thread so i thought it was just ignored... but alas... here it is... alive and well LOL

he got it done last night. "AWESOME" - so everything that comes out his mouth is awesome LOL this was his original idea and i'm glad he stuck with it. if he had chosen something i didn't agree with, it wouldn't have happened.

as for the poster who said i'd allow drinking etc... you sooooo have me tagged wrong. i allow my kids to express themselves. i allow them to be them. they don't have curfews, they don't have a lot of 'rules'... but they know (cause i tell them often) that if they go too far... they will have them! i trust them and i show them that by allowing them to be themselves. there's nothing worse than being forced into a box you don't wanna live in. by allowing them the freedom to do some things (like an inner lip tat that no one will ever see unless they show them and won't hold them back from getting a job they want etc)... they listen to me more on things like "don't do drugs" - use two forms of birth control if and when you decide to start having sex.

i pick my battles wisely... and make sure they are few and far between. it worked with my eldest... she stayed away from drugs and alcohol until she moved out. then her choices were her own to make... cause after all, it's her life to live.

my son must have thanked me a thousand times last night - he knows i'm a cool mom, he knows i'm a mom who listens... who really hears him.

and so, in my opinion... my purpose in his life is flowing perfectly. to guide - to lead by example but not to push, shove or force. after all... i've never respected anyone who forced me to do stuff... but i respected the ones who allowed me the space to figure things out for myself.

i'm here as their guides in this life... but trust me when i say... i carry a big stick and know how to use it LOL
