The overall policy explains the overall key points of how parental consent is required for tattooing, branding, and body piercing for anyone under the age of eighteen (Idaho Code 18-1523. (2004). It is explained throughout the bill, of how no one under the age of fourteen may acquire any form of tattooing, branding, or body piercing; as well, that no person should knowingly tattoo, brand or perform body piercings on a minor between the ages of fourteen and eighteen years unless the person obtains previous written informed consent of the minor's parent or legal guardian (Idaho Code 18-1523. (2004). The policy allows guardians, and parents to help guide minors from unsafe conditions as minors are not emotionally and physically mature enough to decide for themselves on conditions that are permanent and that can be regretted the rest of the minor’s life (Manning, 2013).

These tattoos are usually done by unlicensed artists, outside of parlors and are popular among young adults.
In today’s society oral piercing and tattoos are considered a form of self-expression and body art. It is most common among people between the ages of 18 and 30 years old. Those who chose to have tongue piercing and oral tattoos believe that it reflects fashion, a daring personality, independence, and their sexuality. In other cases oral piercings and oral tattoos may be done because of the need for acceptance into a peer group, desire to assert individuality, or for spiritual
How can a child make the decision for the life of another child by themselves? In this paper I will outline the mental, physical, and safety issues of minors (age 18 and under) having an abortion and why it is so important that they need to get parental consent before making this life long decision.
Do you ever wonder why you never see tattoos and piercings in the medical or federal working fields? It’s because some people believe that a person with tattoos and/or piercings is linked to people with bad reputations, such as bikers, sailors, criminals, and gang members, but that is false. Piercings and tattoos have been popular for quite a long time now, but still get looked down upon and can even affect your daily life.
It’s true that most adolescents are unaware of the potential health risk that tattoos and piercings have. Shouldn’t it be the parents’ job to educate them or should it be completely illegal. Percent’s do show that it’s harder to obtain a job with certain body art, but if it becomes more popular could that change? Personally I believe that it should be legal with consent of a parent/guardian because it’s the Childs’ body and should be there decision. We should make sure in America the child and parents are educated as well before they make a wrong decision.

At around this age, teenagers usually already have their own set of values and are about to become self-reliant. “In order to become self-reliant, you must strongly desire and seek out responsibility in your life… (Mind 24)”. These 16 years that I am referring to are the ones that are already employed, driving, and have their own basic set of morals to build upon over the years. In most states, the starting age to get their permit is around 15 or 16, so why are these teens allowed to get behind the wheel of a legalized weapon, but are not allowed to get a tattoo of a gorgeous flower on their shoulder blade? Since these teens are about to start engaging in the real world in a few years, they usually have their set priorities (even if they choose not to follow them, own morals, and their own outlook in the world, so why can they not decided for themselves that they want to get a tattoo? To generalize any group of people is incorrect and that goes for teenager as well. Saying that “All teenagers should not be allowed to get tattoos because they are too immature” is wrong in itself. There are teenagers that may have even more responsibilities than 18 and 21 year olds. While it is true that there will be irresponsible teenagers who will choose to get the World’s Most Idiotic tattoo, the other teenagers will
As tattooing became more and more popular, tattoo parlors started opening all over the United States. In the 1950's, an outbreak of Hepatitis was blamed on an unsanitary tattoo parlor in New York City. When the outbreak occurred, it sent a panic through America. James Kilpatrick remarks on its effects in one of his articles stating, "An outbreak of Hepatitis in New York was attributed to an unsanitary tattoo parlor on Coney Island. This led to federal guidelines for tattoo artists in 1985, and to a host of state regulations." The individual state governments thought it best to stop it from spreading any more than it already had, starting with the current highlight, tattooing. All states adopted a law banning this practice. Since this ban in the 1950's, all states, except South Carolina and Oklahoma, have done awa...
This is completely invalid. I classify inappropriate as being vulgar or containing profanity or nudity. Of course, there are tattoos that contain these elements, to which I would say should not be displayed in the workplace. But any tattoos that do not demonstrate this should not have to be covered. An individual cannot make the excuse that a tattoo or piercing is inappropriate, just because he or she disagrees with the modified person’s decisions. I believe that tattooed and pierced individuals are discriminated against for the reason that they do not meet other people’s
Your 18th birthday is one of the most important birthdays. You are finally of legal age to get a tattoo or a body piercing. The difficult question you now face is which one do you choose? You would love either, so the decision is mainly based on the expense, aftercare, permanence, and the pain of each. Both are great ways of self-expression but body piercing is an overall better idea.
Though I can understand the school's view on things, I still have my own personal opinions. I know that the school worries about people bringing extra attention to themselves by having things like body piercings and tattoos, but I don't really think that they have any business telling the students how they can and cannot dress. I can also see where they might think that the student runs a risk of getting the jewelry pulled out of their skin if they rough-house too much or if they aren't careful. However, I feel that the student can make that decision on their own.

The UPI shows the result of Harris survey that 21 percent of U.S Citizens has at least one tattoo in 2012. Today, many people have tattoos to show their religious or spiritual devotion, to remind something special in their life, or just to look nice and to follow social trends. The problem is that minors also want to get tattoos; even though their parents still don't want, minors want to do that to follow social trends. Moreover, minors don't understand how these consequences are affected to their future seriously. Therefore, minors should not be allowed to get tattoos without parent's permission.
