    I suggest that you read the charter on this forum, just so you know, there is nowhere reputable that will tattoo anyone that is under 18, and anywhere that would do this, is not somewhere that anyone should go to get tattooed. Your last thread was locked for this reason.

    Consider this a warning not to be looking for any information on underage tattoos.

    18/19 stars on my hip.. still love them even if there seen as common.. was put totally at ease by the guy that did it, none of my friends would come along to keep me company , so my lil bro tagged along haha and ended up playing playstation with them for the hour.. was all very relaxed.. didnt hurt, liked the feeling tbh..
    other two i have (notice due to stalking myself by accident on bebo) g6t them d6ne 30 weeks apart! they rawk, last one is prolly the one i like the most and get the most compliment for to.

    would i do anything differently ?? yeah prolly wait til about now to start getting tattoo'd altho in saying that i dont regert any pieces i have and never will, i like em more everything i look at them

    1st piercing was last year, nape piercing(back of my neck) ,.. tbh i thought he was still pinching my neck when he said " all done" so didnt feel it at all..
    have a few others now, they all rawk, but the nape is by far my fav one

    Ehh... What? haha


    Guess i'll add my peircings.
    Got the cartilage on the top of my left ear done in a dodgy studio with a gun when i was 16, got infected, took it out while i got my lobes pierced to start streching them.
    Got spider bites a while back, i was 17, had to take them out after 3 months or so, for sport. Was crap. :(

    So now all i have is big holes in my ears.
    25mm left ear and 10mm right ear, thanks to some inconvenience.:rolleyes:

    No tats yet, because I'm not old enough, but I remeber my first piercing, I was 4 years old and had begged and pleaded with my mother for months and months. Finally she gave in and let me get it done. I remeber going to a jewellers, and the "piercer" showing me this big gun (well it was big to me at 4 :P) and my mam was like, now they're going to shoot you in the ear with this big gun and its going to hurt alot (trying to put me off) are you sure you want this? I replied without any hesitastion, yes. And that was it! Little did i know I'd be hooked on body mods for the rest of my life :)

    Got my first one when I was 19, was a pretty simple idea that I'd been sure I wanted for years. It originzlly wasn't done too well though, so I'm still getting it worked on, it's most of a half-sleeve now!

    Yes, very much so. Theres a thread here called "my 15yr old wants her tongue pierced" have a look through that, theres various reasons explained in that thread as to why you're too young.

    It's not about the pain, it's the procedure and aftercare. AFAIK the age limit that most reputable studios have on helix piercings (top of your ear) is 15/16 (correct me if I'm wrong) and any studio willing to do it at a younger age w/o ID is one that should be avoided at all costs. Besides, your ear isn't going to fall off if you don't get it pierced this very minute. Whats the harm in waiting a few years to get it done properly?

    It's not about how much it does/doesn't hurt.
    It's about being able to look after it, and that your body is going to be changing and growing a lot in the next bunch of years.

    Went to the Tatto Show in Leopardstown in Nov 2002. Was only going for a look but ended up getting my daughters name in Japanese down my forearm.

    My first tattoo...

    I was 17 (I know :() and there was a tattoo shop in my town....the only one I had ever seen....I heard it was closing down so I gather up all the money I could...£45 stg, and went in. The tattooist had big bandages on both hands (I later found out he electrocuted himself a few days beforehand fixing a washing machine)...I pointed at a few designs on the wall asking what price they were till I found on that was...you guessed it £45.
    It was the last day of that shop being open. He spilled ink on the floor and laughed about it cause he said he didn't care and the Landlord could F*ck himself. He got ink on my jeans and t-shirt which he did apologise for...I'm sure he meant it.
    The lines were all off due to his hands...turned out terrible as you can imagine. Funny enough I was chuffed with it at the time as I was the only one of my mates with a tat. I soon grew to DESPISE it.
    That is why a 17 year old shouldn't be picking out permanent tats.
