First, you are too young. Second, ink from a pen is not what you would use. Plese give this some thought. A tattoo is permant and getting on removed is very painful. You may think that they are cool now but when you get older it might not be what you wanted. They can be done professional when you are 18 and have a better since of what it is you would like. I have 3 and I love them they are very colorful and very well done. You doing this yourself could lead to an infection or worse. You have alot of time to think about this and you should take that time and always check places out.

Don't do it!! Not only are you risking SERIOUS infection, they end up looking really cruddy after just a short amount of time. Tatoos are cool because they are ARTWORK. An artist has basically used your body as a canvas. The bic pen and a pin will really look tacky in comparison and will just basically be marking your body, not expressing yourself through a cool tatoo. Start saving your money, and when you are 18, you can go and have a great tattoo done by professionals, I know you want it now, but it will be worth the wait! Take care!

WAIT! It's totally a bad idea to do it with BIC ink and a safety pin. If you are really serious about a tattoo wait to get it done by a professional. For one it will look so much better (which you want if it's going to be permanent) and two you won't risk infection and all that jazz (if you go to a respectable place). But definentely do not do it yourself.

If you are emancipated why would you need parental consent? but anyways giving yourself a tattoo is not very smart... first it will most likely look like crap... the ink will not hold... you could get an infection, etc Save your money and wait until you are 18 then go to a clean safe shop and get it done the right way...

Very Bad Idea. Even pro tat artists let other people do most of the work on them when they want fresh ink.
The real worry is going to be safety. You could poison yourself and end up with serious complications. Save up a little money, and go get a tat. If you are an artist and want your own work, just draw it. They can transfer your drawing to your body with a "press-on" tat, and fill it in for real with real ink.
Go the safe route.

that is a HORRIBLE idea. you should use a box knife, not a pin!!
if you want to give yourself a home tattoo, use a box knife and ink. cut the design or whatnot into your skin, but not too deep or youll mess it up and the ink will blur.
then take the ink and rub it all over.
but if i were you, id wait to get a real tattoo. that way if its messed up you can blame somebody else. plus it'll probably turn out better.

are u kiddin me?? thats the most un safe way to do it and it could result in infection and then u'll have to go to the hospital and ur mom will still know....u cud even lose a body part if it gets really bad....wait until ur old enough and get a real tattoo trust me it will be much prettier and u can be proud of it...i know a guy who gave himself tattoos when he was a teen and now they look so ugly and faded just like nasty ole scars he feels like an a.s.s. for doing it...it can be embarassing for you.

Yea bad idea, looking to get a possible infection? Besides tats are permanant why wouldn't you want it done by a professional, remember when your 40 that nasty tat will still be there. Wait until your old enough and let a pro do it.,

This is a very bad idea...unsanitary & possible blood poisoning!
Wait until you're a litttle older & it's ok with your Mom
And remember.......tatoos are forever (unless you do expensive/painful laser removal) & someday you'll have to get a job & have to cover it up at work too.
In the meantime, there are temporary tatoos & Henna
which is beautiful & wears off in a week or so.

Dont ever do a tattoo at home. It can become infected and you will never achieve the look you want. Like it or not your mom is right. Wait, save your money and have it done right
