A tattoo is a way to express yourself, beautify or change your body. Many teenagers want to express themselves with a tattoo, to express their protest. However, getting a tattoo as a teenager is not worth it.
Some obstacles
A tattoo can be done without any problems from the age of eighteen, any adult can simply come to the salon and declare such a desire. To get a tattoo at an earlier age, you will need not only aspiration, but also the written consent of the parents, in addition to this, you will have to present an identity document.
Removing a tattoo is a rather painful and expensive procedure, moreover, it is not always effective.
This alone can cool the desire to get a tattoo at the age of fourteen or fifteen, since it is rather difficult for parents to persuade them to make such a decision. But this is a bureaucratic problem. Technical problems are a strong argument against tattooing at an early age.
Fourteen to fifteen years is a time of active growth and hormonal changes. At this time, it is still quite difficult to predict how the figure and proportions of a person will change. Therefore, even the most beautiful and detailed tattoo, with such natural changes, can "float" and lose its attractiveness. Fixing this may not be easy in the future, and such an overlap of an unsuccessful tattoo will cost a lot.
A tattoo is forever
In addition, many adolescents have very radical tastes and views, as a result, they most often order aggressive drawings of a fairly large area. Over time, a person's views change, as well as his ideas about his body and soul. So after twenty or twenty-five years, many want to get rid of the tattoo, which was the result of a rash decision, or, again, change it. This is especially true for drawings applied to open parts of the body - arms, stomach, legs. Such a regular reminder of a dubious decision can be very annoying, and besides, drawings can just get bored, so it's better to do them in places that can be hidden under clothes.
While in search of your image, it is better to experiment with temporary tattoos.
It should also be borne in mind that tattoos on visible parts of the body can change the perception of the people around them about their wearer. And if in the future you are going to build a career in any serious corporation or do business, tattoos can seriously interfere with this.
Hormonal changes are another reason not to get a tattoo during adolescence. Some tattoo artists believe that during such a restructuring of the body, the ink may not lay down properly or even cause allergic reactions. It is better to wait until the end of adolescence and then apply a tattoo.
