Tattoos are a lifelong thing.
Make sure that you will want to have them for the rest of your life...that's why you need to wait until you're 18 to get them. Maybe by them, you'll only get one or none.

First of all, most states require you to be 18 or at least have a parent present. My daughter is 16 and she couldn't get a tattoo in Texas even though I was with her. Also, you are only 13. A tattoo is permanent and if you hate it when you are 30, you will have scar from the removal or will need to have it covered up with another tat.
Basically, this something one should think about for quite awhile before getting a tattoo. My husband got his over ten years ago and hates his so will have to have it covered. I got mine over ten years ago and I still love it.
I have no idea about getting a tattoo in Mexico. You should wait as you are still very young and when and if you still want one when you come of age, then you will know the exact one that is right for you.

First off I have 5 tattoo's so I am not saying not to get one. I am however saying at your age, your likes and dislike will be changing many time before you are even 18, and what is in now, may not be when you are a adult. Why not wait until your alittle older so you think of a tattoo that will fit your adult life.
And if your going to get one anyway, DONT put a GIRLS or BOYS name on your body, when you break up you are stuck trying to find a tattoo to cover that name....

13 is way to young for permanent tattoos! I got my first one when I was 17 and a senior in high school. In California where I live you have to be 18 or over. When I had mine done in 1978 my mom came with me and gave her permission.
Wait until you are of legal age. A lot of people do things in their early teens that they regret so don't get a tattoo that you will hate when you are older. It is much more painful and expensive to have one removed.

No artist that is clean enough or experienced enough will touch you until you're 18. You really need to wait until you're 18 and take these extra 5 years to see what kind of adult you're going to become. I used to want all sorts of tattoos and now that I'm older I see how much I would have hated them. Wait until you're old enough to go to a professional.

Two pieces of advice, don't go to mexico and have it done because they probably are not all that sanitary. Another thing is wait until you are old enough. Being that you are only 13, you just THINK that you want tattoos, you just may change your mind when you are older

They sell them for 50 cents at your local grocery store. Don't grow up too fast kid. In 5 or 10 years they want be so cool anymore. Cross Dressing like a farm animal will be what's every 13 year old is doing.

I wouldn't recommend getting a tattoo. Do you really want that thing on your body for the rest of your life? When you are 90 you will still have it on. It really doesn't look good when you are getting a job interview. You have to be 18 to get one and I strongly recommend you wait until you reach that age before making such a decision.

1st off- you are too young to get a tattoo. 2nd- you really need to think about what you want for a long time, they are going to be on your body the rest of your life. (my 1st tattoo, i waited at least a year before i got it becuz i new then that i really wanted it) 3rd- you cant get a tattoo professionaly done anywhere in the USA untill you are atleast 16 yrs. and some people wont even do it then. 4th- you could get them done not professionally but thats pretty stupid.

I don't want to read if someone is said what I want to say....
Honestly, just wait until you are even a little older...like maybe 17.
You change so much just to that point and even more when you aare 21. Please just wait.
don't break your mom's heart and mark your body...it makes her look like she's not raising you right. Be good to your mom. She gave you life at the Very very least.
