    NO! Horrible idea. You will wind up with a horrible tattoo...and thats just the beginning. Done in a setting other than a parlour, you can wind up with several infections, including HIV, Hep C, MRSA. Anyone who would tattoo a 14 year old is probably not licensed (since they would lose their license if they are found to have tattooed a minor), and seeing as such they are most likely scratchers (untalented/untrainted tattoo artists), and are not sterile. In addition your body is not yet done growing...by the time you are 18 it will be distorted and warped! Im sorry sweetheart, your best bet is to just wait...I know its hard, but its worth it...for your own safety.

    You probably could but being a bit older than you I would wait. You've probably been told to wait already but I'm 24 now and had a tattoo done at 17, I was more than certain I wanted it. As u get older your personality changes and you start to like things you never liked before and you also being to hate things you didn't hate before. It might be a tattoo that means a lot but even the place your thinking to have it might turn out to be a regret 5, 10 years from now.

    NO! the homemade tattoos dont look as good and what may seem like a great idea now may be frowned upon when your are even 18!

    Stick with semi perminent ones for 4 more years and then get it done properly by a professional.

    You could get a piercing?

    I understand your problem but Do you know It doesn't erase and it give so pain..

    So many persons feel that Tatto is very good for looking, real thing is that tatto doesn't make good look. It is really useless think. Real beauty comes from birth, i thing you are good in looking, plz away from tatto and that type of thinks. ok..

    if its a permanent tattoo you should wait till u are older ,at home u can get a washable tattoo done.u don't really have to show it everyday.right.so when u wear halters or short tops u can make it at that time.u can get it done in both places at the same time

    Your going to have to look at it for the rest of your life, make sure you really want one before rushing into getting one and i would not suggest a homemade one, Ouch!

    WHy not just get a henna tattoo? That way you can decide if you really want a real tattoo or not

  • if you want to look like an idiot until you get your tattoo covered up/removed......then YES you should get a home made tattoo

    if you don't want to look immature/irresponsible, then you shouldn't get one.

    and I haven't even gone into the health risks........

    please........pretend to be a grown up here.....don't do it

    Trust me, it WILL go wrong and it WILL look bad. There's really no point at all in even attempting it.
