every time someone comes in to our shop and shows us a tattoo they got before they were 18-20, its always the same thing. looks like crap, they want it covered, regret it more than any other tattoo, and agree that if there kid did it, they would have beat their ***!

Hmm well judging from your question and the way that you're writing, you're not that old yourself.
The legal age limit is set at 18....
Also - think of these things...
-if your cousin is 12...he/she isn't done growing yet...so when they grow, the tattoo doesn't grow along with them. The tattoo will be stretched out and mishapen.
-can you realistically say that you like the same things that you did when you were 12 years old? Same thing goes for your cousin...do you honestly think that what is cool at 12 will be cool to him at say 25 or 30? It's on him for life....
-How are you planning on sterilizing all of your materials if you don't have the correct machines to do so? They don't just wash that stuff off with alcohol and soap you know...he can get sick or get an infection believe it or not.
-So what happens if he gets an infection from the tattoo that you did? How are YOU going to feel as the cousin that helped cause it...and what's he going to do about it?
The law is set at 18 for a reason...the laws aren't set just for the h*ll of it...

why does your cousin want one? Does he think that he will be more accepted if he had a tattoo. Are you a professional tattooist willing to risk your reputation by tattooing a 12 year old CHILD. I think not sounds like your a punk barely out of nappies yourself doing great artistic tattoos from the dumpster out the back using the same filthy needles for everyone. If he wants a tattoo he should wait until he can afford an artist to create a masterpiece worthy of carrying all of his life.

I don't think it will make him sick.
BUT that isn't saying do it.
Kids do not need tattoo's when I was 12 I changed my taste and interests every day, what he gets tat'd @ 12 he sure as heck won't like @ 25.
It's a bad idea, bad choice to tattoo yourself when you're under 18.

depending on the state that you live in if you give a tattoo to someone under the age of 18 you can be charged with child abuse

Just draw on him with a Sharpey marker first to see how much trouble you both get into.
