Many teenagers try not to be like everyone else and in every possible way try to stand out from the company. Recently, among the younger generation, the fashion for tattoos has spread widely. How to be a parent if the child wants to make a tattoo and can the children do it?
At what age can children be given tattoos?
Modern tattoo parlors claim that the best age for applying tattoos is 18-20 years. At this age, children become adults, are considered sufficiently independent and are able to make responsible decisions. But if your child is under 18 years old, self-respecting tattoo parlors will deny him their services without your consent, motivating it with their unwillingness to bear responsibility in case of problems. But it is not a fact that your child does not turn to semi-legal salons, where the issue of sterility remains very doubtful. You need to inform your child of all the disadvantages of this venture.
The fact is that a tattoo made on a body that is not fully formed can eventually lose its shape. Therefore, the desire to make a tattoo in the period of intensive development of the body can hardly be called a deliberate enough step. In addition, if the tattoo is made by an amateur without special skills, this can lead to serious complications. Also, the paint that the artist applies to the skin can cause an allergic reaction and permanently disfigure the adolescent.
How to make a tattoo for children without possible consequences?
If nevertheless your child insists on drawing of a tattoo, offer him alternative variants:
- children can be offered decals that do not harm the skin and retain their color throughout the day;
- You can make a temporary tattoo for children, which is applied with special paints or henna. This tattoo can keep its appearance for several months and at the same time looks exactly like this.
In the event that no arguments and beliefs help, then you better choose a salon and an experienced master yourself. And also, show cunning and set conditions - what drawing, its size and place of application.
