I would advise her not to get it done while she is underage.I have a tattoo,I thought about it for 5 years.(I wanted one done at 15).I'm glad I waited,I've never regretted it and I'm 34 now.When we are underage our tastes change all the time,she could end up making a big mistake.She has to think ahead in her life,when one day she gets married,where will this tattoo be when she has a wedding dress on?Employment,is another thing to consider.

I have three tattoos so don't think that I am against them. I also gave my seventeen year old daughter permission to get one.
People collect tattoos for different reasons. Some do it because they feel like it is a way to go against society, some for the beauty of the art, gang affiliation and some do it to remember some important event in their life. The last one is why I got my tattoos and why my daughter wanted hers.
Tattoos are FOREVER. If you help your sister break the law in order to get one behind your parent's backs, you take the risk of allienating yourself from your family. To say nothing of possibly facing criminal charges.
How old is your sister? Why is she wanting the tattoo? If the tattoo is that important to her, she will still want it when she is of legal age to get one. Take her to get if, if she still wants it, on her 18th birthday.
If you try to go through the backdoor to do this, you put the tattoo parlor and the artist at legal and financial risk. Even if you use a fake ID to obtain the tattoo. They do not deserve being put in that position by anyone.
But the bottomline, no matter if you want to hear it or not, is that your parents are your sisters legal guardians and what they say goes. You know, my house my rules. As a big sister you should point that out to her. No matter how you feel about their decision on her getting a tattoo, she and you both owe them the respect of following their wishes as long as she lives in their house.
Sorry I couldn't give you the answer that you wanted to hear, but what I gave you was the truth.
Ask yourself, "If I said that I did not want my child to do something or have something done and my parents went ahead and let her do it, how would I feel?"
18 is not that far away. Is it worth strained family relations for a piece of artwork?

If she's too young to get the tattoo without permission, she's too young to get it. And really, there's a good reason for this. Think about what you thought were the coolest things in the world last year. Would you want any of them tattooed on your body this year? When you're that young, your enthusiasms run high and the future seems way far off. Then all of a sudden you've got some awful tattoo that says "I Luv Kevin" or a picture of Paris Hilton or some other thing that in one month you'll be regretting more than you can believe.
Once you're old enough to get the tattoo without permission, you'll have a better chance of making a sensible decision about something you'll live with for the rest of your life. In the meantime, get henna 'tattoos!'

fake ID.. but to be honest, my best friends brother owns a tattoo shop, and he won't even give me a tattoo w/out my parents permission and he KNOWS me. Its illegal, and the law is very strict on doing that stuff underage, so many places don't wanna take the risk of getting shut down if they get caught.

grow up???? i took my daughter to get a tattoo when she was 15, and, at least in the state of georgia, they wouldn't do it, didn't matter that i gave my permission, told her to come back when she was 18. it's a legal thing, and no tattoo artist is going to risk losing his or her license so she can have a tattoo. however they DID pierce her tongue, but i still had to sign a paper giving permission.

Wait until she's old enough. It won't hurt her to wait and do you really want to be the one she blames for letting her get a tattoo that she hates in 6 months? And why would you want to be in the dog house with the parents?

Why should anyone tell you a way to subvert parental authority under force of law?
In the case of tattoos they have never been anything but signs of physical slavery and/or spiritual bondage. Your request proves the point.

i chanced on conflicting recommendations and am unsure it extremely is right. the 1st website mentioned that each and everybody states yet Nebraska and Mississippi require the events to be 18, on a similar time as for Nebraska the minimum substitute into 19 and for Mississippi it substitute into 21. the 2nd website says that during Mississippi the minimum age is 17 for a male and 15 for a woman. it relatively is achieveable that the regulation in Mississippi has replaced at the instant??? Please evaluate that those rules replicate ordinary sense, however, and that there are possibly to be sturdy reasons in the adventure that your parents do no longer approve of you marrying now. you're extra probably to have a sturdy dating with them in case you wait till you're criminal. As a determine myself, i'd actually think of that a 21 or 22 twelve months previous guy dating my daughter does no longer have her maximum suitable pastimes at coronary heart if he thinks it extremely is a sturdy theory to marry her till now she's even out of highschool or of criminal age. Please evaluate this heavily and think of via who's likely to have YOUR maximum suitable pastimes at coronary heart, as against in basic terms their very own maximum suitable pastimes at coronary heart. you be attentive to who suits which.

Don't let your/her friends do it. Not even a friend-of-a-friend. It will turn out bad, and whoever did the tattoo will have to see how bad they f**ked up on a regular basis. Just be patient. It's not that hard.

For real?
Instead of REAL tattoos get those fake ones. You know the ones that you stick on with water? They're awesome! xp. And if you don't want it then sticky tape it off. x)
