I got my first one at 17, my mom paid for it as a bday present. (I recently made a post abt it if you want to see it— it’s gay cannibal themed.iykyk.) I know kids who got their first tattoos at 14. My sister’s classmates tried to self tattoo themselves with pen ink when they were ten. Yes they got infections and yes they look as ugly as you think.
Walking around my school I’d say like 1/3 of people have tattoos. The most popular ones are on the arms and on the back, pretty random stuff. My friends have teddy bears, flaming crosses, salt shakers, a lot of semi colons because we’re all depressed. Oh and medusa tattoos, mainly girls but a few guys too. It makes me a bit sad to think abt.
Anyway what are tattoos like in your school? Where I live there’s not really a legal age requirement although most studios only do 16/18+ but there are a few relatively close ones who do 14+
