whats the problem with this - I'm a tattoo artist who has 8children and all my babikins got tattooed by the time they were ten years old, each one choosing and designing their own tattoo. My eldest two have now joined me in the family business and none of my kids regret or resent me for their first childhood peice of prpper tribal art. However - I have to say that I think anyone who gets their child peirced before they reach twentyone years of age should go straight to jail. Good luck to the artist concerned it is a brave decision to make in this day and age of scorn.
