Finally
I finally have my tattoo, a portrait Kurt Cobain with his signature underneath, I got it on sunday, it's not finished yet, still gotta have the shading done in 2 weeks. It hurt, I was crying, when we started it I was lying down, thats when I was crying, then the guy who was tattooing me (I'm not aloud to say who) took a smoke break, the second time I sat up and it didn't hurt as much. I got it done in black and wash and Jo said that wash hurts really bad because its pretty much just water, she said the shading won't be as bad. On the way to the tattooist I was shaking alot cause I was scared and it didn't help when a wasp flew in the car window, I hate wasps, Dad and Steven kept saying that I'll be fine but my 2 friends, (who I only saw for the first time in 3 years last week) Chad and Sanfred kept making buzzing noises like a tattoo needle and wouldn't stop laughing at me. I was so glad when it was over but the pain will be wirth it when its finished cause already it looks great, exactly like him. At school this girl, Amy, who thinks shes top s**t was going on about how shes getting a tattoo in 8 months and I was just thinking to myself haha I beat you to it. I kinda told some people about it though, bloody Darren Ramsdale hit me right on the spot when he was running down the corridor and it was still stinging and I just yelled out "Hey, watch my tattoo you moron", and I think people might have heard me yell it out, but they don't know where I got it done, its not so bad if they know about it but its bad if they know where I got it done cause the shop can get shut down and they can go to jail cause I'm underage, like I'm gonna tell those idiots where I got it done. Its gross now cause its all scabby, but thats good cause it means its healing alright.
I saw that your age is only 15, you better hope that you're done growing. If you aren't the next time you hit a growth spurt, your tattoo could be stretched and deformed and if that happens they're quite difficult to fix.
Kurt Cobain would be a very cool tattoo to get though =]

Damn you, you stole my idea for one of my tattoos.
But congrats. I'm betting it still hurts like hell but if you can send me a pic of it, I'd be ever-so grateful. I'm shaping out what my will (or would) look like.

Yes there is an age restriction on tattoos. If you say nothing, nothing can be done about it. Enjoy it, and when it gets itchy don't scratch it!

As long as you got your parents permission, they shouldn't have to shut the shop down..
I was really hoping to get my first tattoo for my 16th birthday, but I have to pay for it myself. Those things get on the pricey side.

Slappy wants to see pictures of the finished product.

Congrats on getting your first one. And for a portrait, you did good with regards to the pain. Sounds pretty schweet!
Oh, btw, As long as your Dad was there, you had parental consent, so no-one should really get in trouble unless the store operates an age limit policy.
Take it from someone who has 8 tattoos, got the first at 15 and has a half sleeve and is waiting to get her own 'black and wash' aka water shading, filled in.
Kudos.
