Underaged Children Should Not Get Tattoos !

Underaged Kids Should Not Get Tattoos! Underaged children should not get tattoos, even with parents’ permission. They can get a tattoo they regret or it can be scary to them. Also when we get older, the tattoo won’t look as good as it did when we had nice smooth skin. Debating whether you should get a tattoo or not can be a very tough decision to make. There are many reasons why children getting tattoos is a bad idea, but these are a few. One reason why underage children should not get tattoos, even with parents’ permission because they could regret it when they are older. It may make us children look “cool”, but the tattoo could be something dumb or a phase we were in, in the past. The more we get older, the more we could regret it. For example, in the past, my father was in a gang and he got tattoos on both his hand and fingers to represent it. Now that he is older and more mature, he absolutely hates the tattoos. They are fading away currently, hand and finger tattoos don’t last long. If the person ends up hating the tattoo, getting it removed hurts way worse. Children are and can be immature with their decisions, but adults are more mature with their
decisions. Another reason why underage children should not get tattoos, even with parents’ permission is that when they become old, they are going to get wrinkly skin.
With our wrinkly skin, the tattoo can stretch and look like something else and the tattoo can fade over time. One time when I was in 6th grade, I saw an older lady with tattoos all over her arms and they were faded and a little stretched out. Also, if a girl gets pregnant and she has a tattoo on her stomach, it’s going to stretch and when she delivers the baby, the tattoo is going to be way different than before. We are not going to have smooth skin forever. Children think tattoos look cool now, but wait until they get older and the consequences come along. Everything comes with a consequence. Tattoos can be a decision of a
lifetime. The final reason why underage children should not get tattoos, even with parents’ permission is because it can be scary. It can be scary because a needle is going into your skin and it can hurt. Some people are absolutely terrified of needles and some have zero pain tolerance. An old friend of mine is so scared of needles, she cries whenever she gets a shot. My father has a few tattoos, but when he got his hand and finger tattoos, he said those hurt the most. Of course, anywhere you get a tattoo hurts, multiple needles are going into your skin injecting ink. If you get a tattoo in a certain area, (the parts of your body where the bone is closest to the surface of the skin) it could hurt a lot more. People who can not handle pain or are scared of needles, I think getting a tattoo is not a great idea for you. I know tattoos can be cool looking or it can mean something very important to you, but it also comes with consequences. That is why I think underaged children should not get tattoos. The children will most likely be immature with their decisions and end up getting something from dumb imprinted on them forever. The underage children would probably cry or won’t stop complaining if they have zero pain tolerance. It really is up to the person who gets it, it’s their life, not ours, but in the long run, they will probably regret it. Getting a tattoo will be a tough decision to make, it can be a decision of a lifetime.
