How old do you think i should be to?

Question

HOE OLD SHOULD I BE TO GET A TATTO AND MY BELLY BOTTON PIERCED?

Answer 1

You misspelt both of them, its tattoo and button. If you can't spell it, you shouldn't be getting it, i don't care how old you are.

Answer 2

18

Answer 3

um, old enough to be able to spell?! no seriously, old enough to know what you're doing and why you want to do it. is it just because you're following the crowd a teeny bit? if you actually want your belly button pierced then maybe when you're 16, because at least you can get rid of that later if you want.
for tatoos you really need to think hard...usually the image of what you will look like as an 80 year-old with that same tatoo is a pretty interesting one. wait until you're at least 18 - that way if you still want it done then the anticipation will have made it that much better, but if you don't then you can forget about it. also at 18 you are much more likely to pick something that you will like for the rest of your life.
believe me, im 18...i never got either done (although i wanted to but my parents didn't) but i did want a tatoo of my star sign symbol for ages when i was about 16. now i've become a much stonger Christian and don't believe in all that stuff, so you can understand why i'm pleased i didn't get it. so yeah, waiting sucks, but i'm just beginning to understand that it has it's advantages...just think about it! :)

Answer 4

16 for the belly botton and 18 for the tattoo...

Answer 5

I think if u r asking that question then u r not ready. Just keep in mind that tattoos can be lasered off, but why go through that. Piercings can close, sometimes. If u get a tattoo make sure its something that symbolizes who u r and that u r probably going to have it forever even when u r gray-haired and if u r not ashamed of it at that age then it is probably something u will never regret.

Answer 6

I was 16 when i got my first and only tatoo. the biggest mistake of my life, seriously listen to everyone here and think about what you are possibly going to be like in 5 years. i'v always said as soon as i turn 18 i was going to get a tattoo but as 18 rolled around it didnt seem as important any more. the thing that stopped me was what am i going to look like as a mommy with tattoos, thats def not an impression i want my kids to have. so get a tattoo when you want but really think about how your going to feel about it in 2 years.

Answer 7

i was 15 when i got my bellybotton pierced and 17 when i got my firts tattoo. when getting a tattoo remember that is is there to stay an think about it. I didnt and i had a hard time trying to find something to go with it. so now i have a devil on one leg and an angel on the other(my consciences) and i got a butterfly with vines and flowers on my lower back(i dont recomend getting one there because it hurts like hell) I still dont have it finished yet it is just the outline and its been almost a year since i got it.

Answer 8

well in cali you have be 18 years old for a tat, or with a parents note I believe you can do it at 16-17... I would wait till I was older.. because sometimes we regret things we do when we were younger.. Belly Button Ring? thats more for younger girls.. so I would do that now

Answer 9

Legally 18 depending on the state I am in Texas. I would honestly wait until 21. I had a chance to get a tat I said if I dont get on today I wont get one ever. I didnt get it that day and I am glad I didnt.

Answer 10

Belly rings are a fad- it will pass soon. Tattoos are perm. I have a couple that i got when i was 18-22 now i hate them, but cant get rid of them.

Answer 11

depends on where you want the tattoo. If you want the tattoo on your belly too I'd wait til after you have kids. Otherwise once your belly stretches from pregnancy it will never go back to normal.
