In Hawaii, any person under 18 must have consent of a parent to have a tattoo at a licensed parlor...

When you look at the regulations, it also lists a number of childhood diseases that must not be present... another reason to proceed with caution if younger persons are looking to have a tattoo...
I do feel it is a temporal work of art...
looking at tribal pictures of older men that had obviously had tattoos placed on their chest when they were strapping, & how the same work looks misplaced on their older, less buff self
The same thing I wondered in class sitting behind a very young women with a beautiful inked windblown tree on her back... how will that look when the skin is no longer taught & supple?
I lost any desire to have a tattoo when a friend who had just gotten one told me it doesn't hurt too bad, kinda like a bee sting.... I personally do not like bee stings & try to avoid that type pain whenever I can... so no tattoos for me!
