Something you might want to think about besides the legality of getting a tattoo, is that you are still young and you're still growing and so there is the chance still that your skin will stretch and this can cause distortion of any tattoo you get.

I'd say think about it for another couple of years at least and if you still want it then, then you'll probably still want it in years to come.

And completely agreed with what Lisa said.


Yeah ok.
Couldnt you have the colours filled in, i suppose its a bit like a scar ive got on my left arm, it used to be really bad, i pulled the kettle down on myself when i was 6, luckily it only got my arm, my mum had only been out of the room for 2 seconds, but anyway, it started of massive, and it getting smaller now so i will proberly end up with a little diddy mini so it wouldnt really be worth it lol

Thanks to all for commenting

Oops..I started writing a really science geeky answer :thumbsup: basically, scars and tattoos are not the same thing in the slightest. Scars tend to be higher up on the skin layers that replensih themselves whereas tattoos are at the bottom and generaly underneath it in the supporting tissue. By distortion I didn't just mean they can stretch in one direction, any part of the tattoo can stretch, maybe all of it, maybe not all of it so whatever you have tattooed on you will no longer be the same shape it was originally.

Some people are also being tattoo marked with medicalert information now. People who may be allergic to common treatments or have certain serious conditions have the information permanantly marked on them.



I'm considering this myself, I never wear my medic alert bracelet and one day its going to bite me in the bum..
Maybe just the symbol, so they know atleast something is up.

The dragon on my back has warped a little bit.. eeek!
