My Daughter wants to get tattoos I have never ever gotten one due to few. Is it really that bad? Does it hurt?

I have three tattoos. My very first one is a humming bird on my right shoulder blade. I've thought about it for a couple of months before getting one. And it's not an abomination.
I was expecting it was going to hurt like hell but I was surprised that it didn't hurt that much. Getting facials are more painful. I guess mine didn't hurt that much because I had it on my back where the skin is very thick. And that day, I had really conditioned myself very well. Just make sure your daughter don't get it a week before her menstrual period or a week after it.

Tattoos are for some but not all. I myself have 3 and I love them very much. I drew all of mine up and before getting my first one I hung the picture up somewhere I would see it often and everyday I would ask myself if I truly wanted it and if I had any doubt I wouldn't have gotten it. They do hurt a bit but it's different some everyone. Some people find it relaxing and some have a hard time getting through the whole tattoo. So I suggest for first tattoos to keep them small. I suggest talking to her about what she wants to get, maybe even take her to a tattoo parlor to look around. I wouldn't forbid her from doing it or getting mad at her about it because she may just go out and get one with out you know which could be worse because she may just get a tattoo she will regret later on or she may go to a parlor that isn't clean and could get sick from the tattoo. Best luck to you and your daughter!

Please, do not let your daughter get a tattoo. In the eyes of God, it is abomination. He created humans as clean as can be and then humans doesn't bother getting it dirty permanently. Put art in a canvass not in the body. Aside from pain, it looks dirty and out of place.

I think you should let her get a tattoo as long as its tasteful! get it in a spot where its not visible 24/7 so she can show it people that SHE WANTS to see it. Also some job places wont like if someone has a visible tattoo. Let her get something but make sure it means something and she wont regret it. Make her think long and hard about it! Best of luck xo
