for the past couple of weeks my sister was saying that she wanted a tattoo.. but she didn't want it to symbolize anything.. she just got it to be "cool" in my opinion. I don't think that she understands that it will be with her for the rest of her life.
Today, she got a tattoo, against everybody in her immediate familys wishes, but shes spoiled so my mom and stepdad let her get it.
WORST OF ALL! its a tramp stamp. I have soooo much anger over this, how do I keep my self from telling her that she looks like a stupid little ****, and thats what people will think when they see her.
Why did she do this if she knew how everybody was against it.

realize it's her skin, her tattoo and doesn't affect you in any way at all... your sister's getting this tatoo should not be a life-altering event for you.

It sounds like a cool idea. Feet are exceptionally painful places to get tattooed for most people, but a small tattoo only takes a short while so the pain will be pretty brief. I would not think a very small tattoo would be much of a problem for your Dad, unless he is very strictly religious in which cause he may be angry. Although in most places it is illegal for a 15 year old to get a tattoo. I live in the UK and here nobody under 18 can legally get tattooed, in Canada again you have to be 18 and in the USA it varies between states with most states having a 16 or 18 age limit (but some states have an age limit of as low as 12 or as high as 21). So depending on where you live you may have to travel to get tattooed at 15. I hope that your tattoo goes well and looks great.

She probably did it BECAUSE everyone was against it. Do you think it will bother her for you to tell her how stupid you think it looks? I would think that she is TRYING to draw attention to herself, in order to stand out and feel like she is different.
It's too bad your Mom and step-Dad caved in and let her get it. It's one thing to be over 18 when you can tattoo and pierce and mar your body up anyway you choose, but quite another to let a 15 yr. old do something that alters her body for the rest of her life.
I'd be a little disappointed in the parents too. You don't have to be angry when you tell her that you're not impressed and that you think it cheapens her appearance, and CAN give some people the wrong impression. But you know your sister better than anyone, and maybe that IS the impression she wants to give. If so, then she has worse problems than that tattoo she wanted so badly. Just ignore her about this, unless she tries to talk about it, and then you can give her your opinion.

I can relate to you on the subject of 15 yr old sister b/c I'm dealing with my own. I dont think they understand the right reasons to do things its all about fitting it and making irrational and impulsive choices. Theres nothing you can do to stop them but let them know every choice they make has a consequence and they need to think before they act. I remember being that age and thinking I knew everything and I know I wouldnt of listened to anyone but I've been trying my best to make her realize I've been there done that and more than likely it was stupid but again you cant control them...

Well first off,it is really none of your business.You are not her guardian and you are not married to her.Odds are,she just did it to get attention,which is exactly what you are giving her.I really think you should just act like its not even there,and if she says something about it,tell her it was her decision,she will have to live with it,and then drop it.I am really suprised she was able to get one in the first place,as most places make you wait until your 18 unless you have parental consent.Either way,like I said,it is none of your business.Lay off her,and maybe she will square away.

It is her body and if your mom says she could have it, oh well. She will just regret it in a few years and have to pay dearly to have it removed. I have a tattoo and believe in only getting tattoos because they have some meaning to it.

That is probably why she did it.15 yrs old.A ststement of self.Even if it was a bad choice of patterns.Parents dont sound very parenting.

Allow her the dignity of being who she is. Let her learn her lessons in the way she is meant to. Focus on yourself :0)

Shes young and dumb don't sweat it though she'll regret it later when she can't get a job or when she is old and saggy and you can't tell what it is anymore.

it doesnt matter what your sister does. only worry about what you do yourself. you can give people advice and tell them how you feel but you cant force anyone to do what you want.
