you can to a tattoo yourself but those don't always come out the way you want them. i go t mine when i was 16 but i went to a guys house it wasn't a tattoo shop. i quess you just have to ask around and see if you find someone who does them. Good lUck.

I can guarantee you there is a reason why there is a law about certain ages. Having a friend do it for you is absolutely the worst way to go. You will not be happy with the results, this is a promise. Chances are you will end up with something that resembles what jailbirds do, cheap and permanent. Be patient. If you must have a tat, your desire will be equally strong when you are of age and have better taste.
If you must have a body mod, and I do understand that need, get a piercing. At least that can be taken out when and if you change your mind.
Believe me, kiddo, I had a daughter just as eager as you for tats and piercings! She started at me when she was 11! I let her start the piercing when she was 14 and was highly impressed at how she repierced her nose 4 to 6 times a week after sports and games because of course it had to be removed for such. She demonstrated responsibility. She is 25 and still has her piercings.
When she turned 16, because she was the girl she is, for her birthday I took her to the tattoo artist of my choice and let her do as she wished. I chose him well, knowing of his hight artistic skills and that he would never do anything she would be unhappy with. Also, they could create just what she wanted. After all, he was my tattoo man already! Her line was, "Mom, I promise it will be where I can hide it if I need to dress for dinner with the king."
WAIT. If you still want it when you are of age it will be worth the wait. Otherwise you will end up with something ugly that you will hate, that will cheapen your first impressions, and possibly need to be lasered. NOT to mention, homemade tats end up infected as often or not. There is a reason why there are professionals.
By the way. Think awhile on the difference between NEED and WANT. You will find there is a HUGE difference. No one NEEDS a tattoo. They just WANT it.

Try temps kid. And wait till your older No tattoo artist who has a respectful business is willing to risk going to jail and lose all the money and hard work in this business. So he can make you look cool. But if you have enough cash. and really want one. There are a certain few will do it but be warned tho. they will probably use a dirty needle on you and the work looks like crap. But you get a bonus. tetanus, v.d. and of course everyone favorite AIDS. How cool is that? So ask yourself is it really worth it . And DON'T let your friend do it, Dose he know how? or is he 15 and dense as you are? Comon be smart wait till your older and done by a professional , that it looks nice and safe. And most of all you like it too.

You don't want to have anyone other than an "expert" tattoo artist do it for you. You may get a tattoo when you are 15 if your parents or legal guardians sign the permission slip. Otherwise you should not try it. It will look horrible and be more painful.

No way. I guarantee that you will hate it when you are 30. I got mine at 35. Got pierced at 40. Take it slow so you really know what you want. If I had gotten a tattoo at 15, it probably would have been something like Lynard Skynard or something equally as stupid. Best of luck to you!

having an untrained person do a tattoo for you is moronic. i do not agree that you get one done if you do not kw how it is done or what is required you can get sexually transmit disease etc its very painful and you should really think clearly what you want, i wanted one done when i was 12 but waited and took me 6 years before i finally decided what i want like really want, and it hurt so i beg you to rethink again, its not a fashion statement it should be something very personal for you so think deep.. o.k

what's significant to you? you're screenname has peace signs and indicators in it (like mine), so what a pair of tiny, multicolored peace sign. the place you get it particularly is as much as you. The tat I in basic terms have been given is a multicolored butterfly with 420 below it in a Nineteen Sixties font. I initially wanted it on the front of my physique, genuine around my hip, yet then i found out (and my boyfriend extra to my interest the evening i grew to become into getting it), that as quickly as I genuinely have little ones, that is going to stretch there. So, I have been given it on the small of my back as a exchange. I wasn't overjoyed with the belief of a "tramp stamp", yet when I have been given it, i like it. that is not trashy like many have self assurance, that is in user-friendly terms an exceptionally clever place to get it because of the fact it does not stretch like numerous different places. yet while that is small, then you particularly shouldn't get it on your back. That, for my area, could be used for vast tats. What approximately getting it on your shoulder? back, you've gotten it sized genuine so it looks sturdy the place you positioned it, because of the fact needless to say a tattoo that would extra wholesome completely on your ankle is going to look too small on your shoulder or back. Your artist can help you with that. and you may definately thank your mothers and fathers lots to precise your gratitude, to boot as make a competent decision. A peace sign expresses an exceptionally sturdy existence-sort decision (in case you reside peacefully), and the shoulder feels like a competent place (nevertheless that is on a bone, so it may injury better than different places. that is nevertheless no longer that undesirable of a discomfort nevertheless; my butterfly's physique define is vertical ON my backbone, and that injury, whether it grew to become into over genuine speedy. by technique of how, the define hurts better than filling in. relatively, the coloring does not injury in any respect. i did no longer even understand while my guy grew to become into doing it. have relaxing, and additionally ensure you coach numerous gratitude on your mothers and fathers.

That's a strange fix to have at 15 years old. You'd have to get one illegally. Maybe at your age a cartoon character would be good like Zelda.

Not a good idea. Wait at least 6 years before acting on it.
