If you want to get a tattoo and you are not 18 years old you must have the permission of your parents. If you are of legal age you can do it without that permission. Now, in neither case do you want your parents to get angry. You want to know how to tell your parents that you want to get a tattoo and not to get angry? It is not an easy thing, let alone if your family is traditional, but if you play your cards well you can change your mind. Lets go see it!
Convince your parents to let you get a tattoo with these tips
As we said before, it is not easy to say at home that you want to get a tattoo, you just have to put yourself in the place of your parents to realize it. If it is something that you have meditated well, look for an afternoon to talk with them, do not get nervous, show your more adult side and also follow the guidelines that we share here with you. Good luck will be on your side!
+ First of all, be clear that you want to get a tattoo
We already know that the idea of getting a beautiful tattoo does not leave your mind, but that question of are you sure you want to tattoo? It is the first that your parents are going to make, so, the more arguments you prepare better than better, type these:
– I've thought about it and rethought, a tattoo besides being beautiful It's a way to let my personality see.
– I would do it in an establishment that meets all legal and health requirements.
– I'm going to put it (for example) on the forearm That would not look like much.
– And no, it's not because my friend or that special boy has become one. This is my decision.
Have things clear and arguments prepared it will help you stay calm when your parents submit you to a third grade interrogation.
+ Show your family the tattoo you want to do
It usually happens that you say tattoo and your mother or father think of a cobra or a caravel when you really have words and a lotus flower in mind. Show them the design you plan to do, they will see that you are serious and that the thing does not look as bad as they can believe.
+ That the place where you are going to get tattooed is as conservative as possible
Golden rule especially if it is the first tattoo: nothing to put a full color letters on the neckline or near the navel. Better start with something simpler and, once you see that your parents accept it, you can level up.
+ Convince your parents and don't do it until they've said yes
Although if you are of legal age you will not need that written permission, it is important have the support of your parents because it won't help you to do it if you're going to give them a dislike. The idea is that they see that it is something that makes you very excited and for this you will need to have their consent. This will avoid unnecessary discussions.
+ Explain that you know that a tattoo is forever
It is worth that they can be removed with laser techniques but you will not enter that debate. What your parents have to do is that you know that a tattoo is not a passing whim as it can be 'I buy those pants that I love and then I do not wear it'. They must see that you have thought it through, which is something that you really want and that you are not going to give the tabarra shortly after having done it with that you already want to take it off.
+ Let them think and talk about your tattoo
If you tell them something like 'do you like the drawing that I have chosen?' 'Do you think this other one is better?' You will have much less options to get angry than if you say 'I'm older I'm going to do it, period.' Surely you see where we are going.
Has it worked? Do your parents let you get the tattoo?
