CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The age to do it varies from state to state; in some states it's 18 but not all; don't be too surprised if eventually one or other asks you to do some designs.

Like most things in my state, there are age limits. However, if you can get a parent's permission, you can get a tattoo if you are a few years under the age limit. Of course, most tattoo artists would flat out refuse to ink someone under the age of 16.

Oh okay; I was actually responding to William67 but he seems to have deleted his posts.
Personally I think to be 18 before doing it is a very good idea.
It kind of becomes a rite of passage for 18 year olds, right?
(Some ppl wait longer before doing it; others never get around to doing it.)

Yeah, I agree. People get tattoos for different reasons, but maybe some don't get them because they don't like needles or they are worried about what other people may think of them or they are pressured into not getting one.

Yes; some people are pressured into not getting them. And probably some ppl are also pressured into getting them.
But I guess you would have simply made your own decision when you did yours.
18 does seem to be the age, though, to do it or start doing it.

PS: Do you think 18 is a suitable age?
(In Canadian provinces it's 18, although in some US states it's less than that in places.)

Getting ready for spring break. Cya!
I'll be 18 in 2 yrs & I'm probably still going to be too indecisive for tattoos. Like I said b4 I wish there were more fake tats that looked real. That would be fun.

Yeah but tbh a lot of 18 yr olds I know don't seem like real adults to me. We have 18 & 19 yr olds at my HS. They're treated the same as the rest of us.
I like some tattoos. Some are tacky & awful but some are pretty. I wouldn't get a permanent one ever but maybe I'd get a fake one that was cool if it looked kinda real.

Well, sounds like no one in your immediate family has a permanent tattoo, otherwise it might be far more likely that you would regard doing the permanent tattoo thing at 18 as a matter of course event to be aiming at. Not always the case, mind.

My friend designed temporary tattoos that look authentic. I am wearing them for a dance performance.
I don't plan on ever getting a real tattoo but I like painless, temporary forms of body art like stickers and paint.

Thanks! I think they're lovely and look realistic, but they didn't involve the pain or the permanency of an actual tattoo. My friend designed the temporary tattoos for a class she was taking at the design school at our university for enrichment (it's not for her degree), and people have been so enamored with them she might make it into a side job.
I think being a quality tattoo artist would require a tremendous amount of artistic skill as well as care since your "canvas" is a sentient being. I much prefer painting on surfaces that don't bleed or have feelings!

I guess you mean that although you really like permanent tattoo art, you yourself would not be prepared to go under the inking needle as professional tattoo artists are more or less expected to have done.
