Teens and Tattoos

Teens and Tattoos

            Tattoos are a rising interest in teens these days. We here at Chicago Tattoo Co realize this can make any parent nervous. This is why we take every precaution necessary to help teens make the best decision possible when choosing a design and placement. 

            When choosing a design, it is important to choose a design in which would seem “timeless”. A design that is going to stay with you the rest of your life should be something you will still be interested in later in life. Things that are popular in 2010 may not be so popular in ten years. So it is best to choose something meaningful to you. We recommend researching your ideas and bringing in photos similar to your idea, we will then redraw the items and find the best way to put your idea on your skin. This way there is no room for regret as an adult for making this decision. We also take the placement of the tattoo into consideration when sketching your design for you. Tattoos will always look best going with the flow of your body. 

          As a teen, it may not be best to get tattoos in areas that are visible in everyday life. We have to face that we can make plans in life, but we never know what the future has in store for us. Chicago Tattoo Co will never put a tattoo on the hands, necks, or faces of a teenager. Realizing that society has not entirely accepted the art of the tattoo industry, we would never want a tattoo to prevent a teenager from a great opportunity later in life. 

 Chicago Tattoo Co offers services to teens 16 and older. By law, Teens age 16 and 17 must be accompanied by a Parent or Legal Guardian and both must bring their State Issued IDs. It is also Florida Law to have a Notarized Minor Consent Form completed prior to services. You can print this form under the Forms section of our website or pick one up from our location at any time. Feel free to contact us with any questions you may have. (407) 678-8858.
