Question Posted Sunday September 11 2005, 10:49 am
Well recently i got about 3 tattoo's and im 14. All of my friends got them too. i live with my mom and she was completly okay with them. Somehow, my dad found out about them. He foundout the name of the guy who did them, and where he lives. He told me he was going to have him arrested. If i am ever the reason somebody gets sent to jail i dont know what i would do. i feel so bad i just wanna die! what should i do!?

And maybe your dad's threat was just because he was angry and didn't know how to react. Let him cool off for a few days. Maybe dont even bring it up unless he wants to talk about it. And besides, i doubt you can go to prison for doing tattoes. Not sure, but that sounds kinda stupid to me. So don't worry and let things play out. Hope i helped!!!

But as far as your dads concerned.. just let him know your mom was fine with it and go from there. If you have any other problems just ask me :) [ HollisterBabi829's advice column | Ask HollisterBabi829 A Question ]

You should also just tell him that it was your decision and he just did what you told him to do. Most importantly, you should take a deep breath and calm down. I know you feel bad- this is a lousy situation. But, no matter what happens, you never wanna die. [ soccerSTAR12's advice column | Ask soccerSTAR12 A Question ]

And if he does get arrested for it, it won't be for that long of a time, because its not that serious. [ jenymca's advice column | Ask jenymca A Question ]

Razhie answered Sunday September 11 2005, 4:58 pm: If your mother has given permission for you to have these tatoos and has custody of you, your father doesn't have a legal leg to stand on.
He can make trouble for the guy professionally though so please try and difuse the situation. Maybe have your mother explain that she has given permission if that will help (depending on thier relationship it might make it worse). If the guy is concerned about this have your mother write a letter of consent detailing your tatoos and the fact she is aware and gave permission prior to all of them.
karenR answered Sunday September 11 2005, 1:06 pm: If mom gave permission then there is not much he can do about it. Especially since she has custody of you. Dad may not like it, but he won't get far trying to send someone to jail. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]

He probably would have been arrested eventually anyway, it is not because of you, he was the idiot who gave tattoos to 14-year-olds. [ tasuki's advice column | Ask tasuki A Question ]
