i know that i'm young (13-15) and i can't get a tattoo just yet. but i kind of wanted to get something written on my wrist. how dangerous is that? and how much does a tattoo hurt? and no, please don't compare it to child labor. my mom already said that but i can't exactly relate to that. at all. anyways, and if not on my wrist i would want to get one where my dad wouldn't see. other than my butt or boob?
It feels like a bee sting, the closer to the bone the more you will feel it. I have 10 Good thinking to wait until your 18
If you get it on your wrist it will hurt a bit more than other places. Some places you could get it are on your back or ankle, both relativly easy to hide. If your dad seeing is a concern don't get it. Just wait until you are old enough. If you go in and lie about your age or get someone who is not your legal guardian to sign off then YOU AND YOUR ARTIST can get in trouble. Your artist can lose their license and will probably get fired. So unless your mom is signing for you, you have to wait.
You shouldn't be even thinking about getting a tattoo at your age and without your dad knowing, but if I were you I would get it on my back. Yes it hurts.
As far as the danger goes, the only place that is NOT a good idea is on your head, as there can be a LOT of bleeding. Another bad place: the hands and feet. The skin on these places sheds and regrows so fast that the tattoos fade quickly- but not dangerous. Otherwise, if you talk to a tattoo artist, they will be able to tell you the risks of getting it where.
The pain involved with a tattoo depends on the person, but generally anywhere that it is over bone with no fat or muscle (ie ankle, tailbone, shoulder blade, spine!) really hurts. Also, places where the skin is naturally soft and tender- wrists, forearms, armpit, ankles, inside thighs- all hurt.
I've known girls who have passed out fom getting the "tramp stamp" on their lower back, and also guys who've been reduced to tears when getting inked on their ribs. Other people sit with a smile and read a magazine.
Since you are so young, it is not likely that you will get a licensed tattoo artist to do this for you- and maybe not even with a parents' consent! Many artists are bound by the rules of the parlor they work for. I would not advise going to a "garage artist" or a friend of a friend who happens to have a tattoo gun. This is how AIDS and Hep. C get spread!
My advice is try Henna. It is a strong dye made from plants, and comes from India. It takes a little practice to use it right, but you can get some stellar effects with it. It stays on for 3-6 months, and fades after that. Women in India get their hands and feet decorated in it before their weddings, and it can look just as good (if not better) than real tattoos!
You can order it here, or google for a place in your city on where to get it:

If you really like it, you can just re-apply it every few months until you are old enough to actually get inked. If you don't like it, you don't have to reapply it! You're happy, Mom's happy!
Hope this was helpful, and Good Luck!
PS~ The only reason anyone mentioned giving blood to your kids: you just can't get inked when you are PREGNANT because of the risk of infection. Before or after you have kids doesn't matter!
I don't think you should get one they are bad anyway you shouldn't and if you do get one just put it on your wrist or
on you neck.
I wouldn't get a wrist tattoo because they are hard to hide later in life.
Also I know people that have gotten them and for some reason they are always seen as more dangerous or shady (as in gang members) because of them now.
If you get pulled over by a cop they will take it into account unfortunately.
It's great to start thinking about tattoos right now, but honestly I wouldn't get a tattoo until I was 18. You'd be surprised how much you change in a few years. I haven't gotten a tatto othat I haven't envisioned for less than a year.
Think about whether you'd be embarrassed about it in any situation later in life. Like a tattoo of something tacky on your arm would look kind of bad at prom or your wedding, or at the company Christmas party.
Just make sure it looks classy in every situation you can think of and wait until you can get it yourself, so then you can show it off to your dad.
Tatts are bad if you plan to have babies you can't give them blood incase they need it
13-15=2 or too tat or not too tat.
Other than your butt and boobs, what else does your dad get
2 c?
Naughty, naughty. Caught you do'in dirty.
Getting a tattoo on your wrist isn't anymore dangerous than getting it anywhere else on your body. About the pain, really no one can tell you. Everyone's pain tollerance is different, but I am not going to lie to you it is uncomfortable. Just make sure you really think before you get your tattoo. I know you've probley heard this a million times, but they're forever.
I have one on my right upper arm.
It is hidden by all my clothes except for sleeveless shirts.
In my opinion having it on your wrist is a bit dangerous.
Tats aren't forever they can be removed by lasers. You might have the shape of it left but you can always tell somone you were in an accident.
Everybody has different feelings for pain, mine didn't hurt till it hit bone then I cried.
I have 2 children so if I needed to give them blood I could, so don't listen to that. I know that for a fact I already asked my doctor plus I have a friend that is in the medical field, you will be fine to give blood to your child(ren)
It's up to you
