MAK answered Tuesday April 10 2007, 1:33 am: i think you are a little young to get a tatoo. like others stated on here, your tastes will change. imagine having your tattoo when your 25, and it looks rather stretched out (you, and your skin will grow) and lopsided, and your 25 year old asks you what it is, and why you got it, and your just gonna answer "i got it at 13, and i got the idea from Gisele" (who most likely will be completely forgotten by then).
i would wait at least 4 to 6 years before getting a tattoo. your tastes WILL change, its part of growing up. [ MAK's advice column | Ask MAK A Question ]
LadyH answered Tuesday April 10 2007, 12:33 am: I'll be blunt - you do not NEED to get a tattoo @ 13. By law, you have to be 18 @ most tattoo places. & if the tattoo place allows anyone under 18, the minimum is usually 16 depending on the laws in your state. Your taste is going to change, so it'd be a huge mistake. You may think it's cute now, but you'll regret it @ 20 when you realize you have to look at it for the rest of your life. And any parent in their right mind would not let their 13 year old get a tattoo if it was even allowed. & if they did, that's sad. Even 16 is still too young in my opinion. I waited till I was 18-19 before I got my two tattoos. & yeah, that's still young to some people. But unlike others, my tattoos actually mean something. Not only do they have meaning, but they are also discrete because I like having a very nice job & think it's more personal. Tattoos aren't smart to get just because they look cute. If you want to express yourself, decorate your room or express it in a drawing. But tattooing stars that represent nothing & are only there for cuteness will be a mistake. It's your decision to get it when you're older, but I can guarantee you, you will change your mind when you mature. So wait till you're an adult to make that decision.

You also have to be 18, to get it done by a licensed professional. Unless you get it done by someone who is not, but you could get in a lot of trouble I am pretty sure. [ xWACKYJACKIEx's advice column | Ask xWACKYJACKIEx A Question ]
Sky1435 answered Monday April 9 2007, 10:47 pm: i think honestly you should wait because i know that my taste have changed since i was thirteen.
so why not wait a couple of years but still pitch the idea to your parents.
See what they say.
I know that my mom is making wait til im 17..

Good luck
