Tattoo on my 18th Birthday?
Tattoo on my 18th Birthday?
ok, so my 18th birthday is in about a month. I’ve spent about 4 years carefully planning out my tattoo. I know I want it, I know where I want it, and what I want it of. I’ve designed it myself, and I am not hesitant at all about getting it. So please don’t say I’m not ready or rushing into things. Anyways, I decided after a lot of good reviews/recommendations from friends, that I am going to get my tattoo on my actual 18th birthday, at a local parlor near my house. I looked their website up online, and it says ‘no kids allowed in the shop’. Well, I’m going to need to come in about a week or two before hand to give them my design so they can draw it out, as well as make an appointment. Do you think this will be fine, although I will be a week or so shy of being legal? Should I call before-hand? It also said something about a deposit if you have your own design. Any ideas on how much that will cost? Please let me know. I’m also kind of scared that the artists are going to be scary and mean, even though i’ve had two people tell me they were awesome. Any good first tattoo advice? And please inform me on the over 18 in the shop rule. I know that you can’t go into a porn shop until you are literally 18, and I hope tattoo shops aren’t the same way, since they do have occasional nude artwork.
THANKS!
i give 10′s by the way.
ohhh, and the tattoo is going to be a barcode on the back of my neck.
above it is going to be my first and middle name, and then below it, my birthday for the numbers. let me know what you think =)

going into the tattoo shop will be fine, iv been a few times looking at designs and stuff and nobody kicked me out.. im 13
so don’t worry about that.
im not sure about the deposit though, just call them and check it with them. if your scared to get yourd done by a big and scary person, then just ask at the shop, or when you ring, that you want your appointment with a specific person, preferably the one the your two other friends said are awsume, and they’l give you an opointment with them
hope this helps

they should have no problem with you going into the shop to discuss business, after all it is their job. all you would be doing is setting up your appt and giving them your design and deposit.
i think your deposit shouldnt exceed 50 bucks.
i must warn you, if youre going to a reputable shop, theyre likely to reject your idea or design. the back of your neck is a considerably small area to work with, and with you wanting two full names and your DOB, that kind of detail would likely require more room.
good luck.

You’ll be fine. That rule is more for younger kids.
You’re idea sounds good – as long as you’re happy with it, that’s all that matters.
