Refusing my daughter a tattoo

I have 3 tattoos all of which I got after I was 18 because I was always told to take my time and carefully choose what I wanted to get. and im glad now I waited . just try to explain to her how its going to be on her for the rest of her life , and I agree w/ Ty , you’re the parent ,you make the rules, she may not like hearing the word no bt in the lon run she’ll be glad if she listened. good luck

Hmm, ask her why she cant wait, if she really wants it, then tell her she can have it when she’s legally allowed to… If she really wants it then she’ll get it when she turns 18 (I waited 4 years, so I knew it was what I wanted and I wasnt going to regret it)… I mean at the end of the day you’re supporting her, saying no really should be the end of the conversation…

let her know that you r the adult and she is the child. and as long as she is living under your roof she does what you tell her to do. just take charge but dont b meen. find examples of people who have had tatoos and are old. she will c that there is all saggy and nasty and that the tatoos look gross on them. lol! if this doesnt work compromise with her.( after all she only has 1 more leagal year b 4 she can move out and call herself an adult) say she wants a big tatoo. allow her to get a small one where not that many people will c. hope I helded and good luck!

someone is signing for her to get tattooed. If you are under 18, someone over 18 has to sign for her. So if she’s 17, she has found someone probably in their 30’s to sign for her. Follow her, see where she’s getting it done. Walk in after they have been in for a bit and ask her what the hll is she doing!!! Also, tell her that when she gets old her skin will sag and her tatoos will look like sht

You can’t exactly force her to choose anything I know its hard seeing your child make choices you don’t agree with, but thats because its her choice and not yours to make I think tattoos aren’t the most charming things in the world, but others do. If she gets in trouble for it, or she regrets it later in life, your job is to be there and support her through whatever she decides fits her personality You have to love her for who she is, not what gets tattooed on her skin one day she may find out her mother is right, but until then, let her grow into who she is good luck:)
