    So am I to assume that the tattoo artist that said yes to him when he asked would they tattoo him even though he's a minor.. was lying?

    Does your friend look older than 16? Did he tell the artist that he was under 18?

    Well if a tattoo artist really did say yes to him when he asked would they tattoo him even though he's a minor, then he should not go anywhere near said tattoo artist. 2 pages of this thread and you still haven't got the point!

    QFT.

    Much as your friend might be annoyed at having to wait to get inked, I bet he'd be even more annoyed if he ended up with a crappy tattoo permanently etched into his skin, or getting an infection from getting tattooed in a dodgy studio.

    The guys on here know what they're talking about and really only have your friend's best interests at heart whey they tell you he should wait. Listen to them, they're giving good advice. :cool:

    I don't see how my post was "belittling", it was certainly not intended to cause any offense, just to state the facts. A good studio will not tattoo your underage friend.

    Sometimes the truth hurts as gay as it sounds. We hear and see pictures of people who got tattoos when they were underage, they got them done in shoddy places because none of the decent artists would ink them. Now they're stuck with crap ink on the for the rest of their lives.

    What's another 2 years and get an awesome tattoo, compared with getting one now and most likely ending up regretting it in a few years time.

    My tastes have changed substantially since i was 16.

    It wasnt belittling--its the truth.Whether you accept that or not is up to you.

    If that's the case, then I wouldn't trust this artist to tattoo your friend. As everyone else has already said, a decent artist won't tattoo someone who's underage.

    maybe he wasn't listening to the question. maybe it was loud.

    I sincerely doubt that anyone in Wildcat will knowingly tattoo a 16 year old.


    I know these things.

    He's the manager... and from personal experience, I wouldn't touch WildCat with a barge pole... the most disorganised unprofessional tattoo shop I've ever been in

    no, it isn't



    I am stating that if I got tattooed at 16, this is the sort of thing I would be stuck with now.


    and I assure you, I believed I was fully mature and knew what I wanted at that point too. Having said that, I am sure some people exist who have reached their fully adult opinions by 16. I pity the foo'.


    Thankfully, then as now, I was a fierce nerd and took rules very seriously, and would never have asked a tattooist (or anyone else) to break them.

    If you get 9 infractions you are site banned for good.

    An infraction here carries a 1 - 2 week ban and a permanent mark on your profile.

    I posted this thread to look for opinions good and bad of a shop.. not your opinions on whether a 16 year old is mature enough to decide on a tattoo that hes gonna be happy with for the rest of his life..

    this bickering is going to get your thread closed - its your funeral.



    you discussed the age issue before I did, you can't complain about it being off topic.

    ffs ok closing it now.

    No one here is telling you anything positive... maybe there is a hint in there? it's in direct violation of the charter anyway and you are just arguing and back seat modding.

    Familiarise yourself with the charter QOTSA90.
