lip tattoo ideas...

[I<3Dreamsicles]

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."

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

Well said... love ya gurl!

Hey! I want a pic of that stick too!

Never in my post did I knock you, or how you parent your children. All I posted was how the friends of mine played thier parents once they were allowed the freedom to due certain things. I'm sorry if you percieved it wrong. I was a child once to. I know how 15 year olds think. I wish you the best in your journey called "parenthood". I have two children also(both girls). Would I let them tattoo themselves at 15? HELL NO! Girls can't even give consentual sex until they are 16. Call me old fashioned or whatever. That is how I parent MY kids. That's the beautiful thing about life.....We get to make our OWN choices. Hopefully you as a parent chose a nice, clean, and reputable shop to have him tattooed at.

really? you never? let's take a look at what you said then...

How about...."What's next?" I'm sure if you let him do that he's gonna want bigger and better things next. Guess what? Your gonna give it to him because you let him do that! Why not the next thing? Huh mom? Come on mom you used to be cool, what happened to you? Hey mom wanna go out drinking with my friends and I tonight? Hey mom my friends and I are just gonna hang out here tonight and party. Hey mom why don't you buy some alcohol for me and my friends tonight? It's ok because your gonna be here with us and that makes it ok for you to contribute to all the neighbor kids!!! I had friends with moms like you. I watched them play thier moms like puppets. Don't get me wrong it's your child you do what you want. I'll keep my opinions to myself.....

i was polite enough to ignore you and not really address you but here it is. you are judging me based on nothing more than a few words in a thread. you don't know me. you have no idea how i parent. you have no idea who my kid is. you don't know what he's like at all.

i suggest you keep your opinion to yourself... cause nothing you have to say is welcomed. absolutely nothing.

Personally I hate the fact that everyone I know and see at school has tattoos... Mind that most surfaces I would want a tattoo on are scarred to hell and back, so it could just be jealousy. But really everyone seems to have them or some kind or piercings and it's kind of irritating since it's more enjoyable when you rarely see them, instead of seeing everyone with some body mod going on.

That said I vote WOW/MOM It would be badass and I'd get that done for my mom.

Awesome, was a good choice imo. I am always saying"awesome!" Although, here in northern Cali, I am starting to pick up the "hella" adjective that eeeeveryone uses here. "that's hella kewl."

Hope that your son heals up fast, Aleesh!

[recycling goddess]

the healing is literally hours with a lip. it takes no time at all. mine was a little bit tender the next day and then normal from then on. he's feeling great today... AND loves him mama huge!!!

oh ya baby... i'm blissed out about this. scored big points in the mama department! simply priceless.

That is so AWESOME!!!

I had a mom (one of many) that went that route, and it was such an empowering experience, I know exactly what your son is feeling.

Best part is, he will have the tattoo with the MOST cachet of all his friends, and it is temporary and can be invisible should he chose it to be.

You are raising a mighty fine child army there Maam. I expect some top notch culture jamming from them in the future. *tips hat*
